MODEL AIRPLANE CLASS Something new has been added to G.H.S., a course in making model planes under the supervision of Mr. Gronewald. The models are built according to scale and are used for training purposes by the Army and Navy. A quota of sixty planes is to be finished by the end of the year. SIMCOE PUP Handicapped by a brand new mimeograph machine and a lost instruction book, the Simcoe Pup carried on and came forth with a bi-monthly edition. Hard-working, slave-driving Editor, Wanda VanHoy, assisted by Copy Editor, Charl Davenport; Art Editor, Marion Ledford and a capable staff, published as unique and inform- ing a school paper as ever before. The first semester news was submitted by classes and assembled by the staff. However, this system failed to work satisfactorily, so the rest of the term a regular reporting staff was engaged.
