PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS Here we see the Stephen Douglases of GW, though quiet for a change. According to their genial sponsor, Mr. Ellis, they sometimes in 302 let loose a barrage of words, even baffling to him. WOODSHOP CLASS It’s “Say, timber!” with the members of Mr. Bacon’s woodshop class, as the stu- dents work earnestly on their products. Here Porky” helps Pete assemble his semi-finished coffee-table ’mid the clamor of chisels and saws. DRAMATICS CLASS Just look at this!” ex- claims Anne as she explains to editor and assistant her “Bar- ter Plan” for raising funds— all of course in a scene from one of the Dramatics Class plays, sponsored by Miss Dorothy Fitzgerald. SCHOOL STORE Dan Smith, manager of the school store, pauses in his work of supplying the stream of students who patronize this popular establishment.

TYPING CLASS Nancy’s gleam seems to say she is way ahead of her fellow students in Miss Coppedgc’s typing class. However, all work hard and enjoy their efforts, each hoping one day to be the future private secre- tary for a John D. Rockefel- ler. HOME EC CLASS What’s cooking? It may be those famous plum puddings that these homemakers, un- der Miss Anthony’s efficient direction, turned out for Christmas treats. SEWING CLASS Here they arc not ripping what they sew, but according to Miss Simpson, these girls often do just that. MECHANICAL DRAWING CLASS Mr. Blinky” Grau is cheerfully explaining the basic standards of mechanical drafting to four of his indus- trious students during an Ad- vanced Drawing session.

In the silent resort of G.W.’s extensive library, the students relax from the grilling and drilling of teachers to find peace among the hundreds of books, magazines, newspapers, and pamphlets to be found here. To quote most teachers: If you don’t know the answer, go to the library; you’re sure to find it there.” LIBRARY AND LIBRARY ASSISTANTS When Mr. Hitchcock said, Now smile!”, he met a cheerful response from these library assistants. Their duties, ranging from being sure that Shakespeare and Words- worth do not stay out too long to putting Byron and Bryant in their respective places, were numerous and tiring. i 30 y
