Arnold Robke, Jack Wappes, and Paul Kennedy, members of Mr. Jones’ shop class enjoy a movie in Room 4. Rewinding the Reel There is a small dark room located on the west side of the high school building. You may wonder about dark rooms; well, that’s exactly what it is—a dark room! It contains desks, a movie projector, and a large white screen. The purpose of this room is to see movies dealing with school subjects. When a teacher has a movie to show his students, he moves them to Room 4. Most of the students find this a pleasure because they think it breaks the monotony and adds interest and clearness to the subject . . . Gaining a mastery of the principles of the English language both as it is written and as it is spoken is the aim of our English courses. Help- ing each student to become a master of conventional rules, not a slave to them, enables him to under- stand and to enjoy literature as well as to improve his own writing and speaking ability. If you have ever seen a piece of paper lying around that looks as if it had been created by the ancient Egyptians, it was probably discarded by a shorthand student... If you have ever seen a y-o-u spelled j-u-g, that was no doubt practice work of some beginning typist . . . Many girls after having successfully completed two years of typing and shorthand are able to secure good secretarial po- sitions without further training . . . The study of government teaches us to be better citizens, and in being better citizens, we help our community as well as the nation in which we live. We also learn the functionings of our State, Federal, and Local govern- ments. Charlotte Atkins diagrams a sentence for students in Mr. Pugh’s English class. 2 OS STESLRCUG |

Perhaps the high point of the year was reached on January 3 when the new cafeteria opened for the benefit and enjoyment of all students and teachers. For the Record... On Film Shooting the stars we hit upon some facts that are interesting to all ... . 26 teachers are teaching 618 students, grades 7 to 12, in classrooms... offering a wide variety of subjects, some required and some elective. Among these are subjects in social studies, mathematics, business education, English, vocational arts, science, music and art, and physical education. Not only have we tried to show extra-curricular activities, such as dances, sports, elections, assemblies, and clubs; but we have tried to picture the curricular side of school through scenes from typical classroom procedure in each department in the school. We hope you enjoy the Aeolian as much as we enjoyed publishing it. It was ours for almost a year. Now it belongs to you. Sponsors O7F0 (0-6) NO 0. 6.
