aber 504111001199 I an an institution of learning named Hancock Place High School. Born in the year 1911, I' have since grown steadily into thirty-five big rooms, I am proud of the fine boys and girls who enter as timid freshmen, and leave, after their senior year, confident, promising young men and wanen. Many things take place with- in my mottled tan brick walls, Let me tell you about them, We might as well start on the first floor where you will find the gym at the far end of the hall, There during the day the boys and girls get plenty of exercise, andingthe evening you will probably find a dance in full swing, or a basketball game, Just outside the gym door is the nurse's room where we can get needed first aid, O1 the same floor you will discover the art room which is easily recognized by its paintings, Down here also is our wonderful new cafeteria with its good cooks, stain- less steel fixtures, and a much appreci- ated juke-bix. Across from it is the print- ing room where the yearbook isurun offn and other jobs are done, Up the stairs, and to the left, social studies and the why's and wherefore's of producing a top ranking yearbook are taught, Proceeding straight down the hall we next come to the room where beginners and old veterans learn to master the fine art of driving. Across here, is one of my favor- ite spots because it smells so good, and, yum, yum, those delicious Russian tea cookies! Adjacent is the busy sewing room., Oh, my! I just passed up the shorthand room--that's a mighty strange language! The students can read it fluently but it seems to take some effort to write it down., Bookkeeping is taught in this room, too. Now we take a look in the school counsel- or's room, and we mustn' t miss the science one with its test tubes and curios., Here the wonders of the universe are unfolded. Up the stairs to the top floor 'rue study hall, library, and then the French and English classroom, I don't know what they're saying here half the time but it seems to be mighty interesting. O1 down is the English and speech room, and then the German one. In the math room, everything is taught from addition' to trigonometry, and some of the problems--wow! Now for the new audition. We'll hurry over there by returning to the main floor and going across the little hall that joins the two buildings. Before going tho, let's peep into the principal's office., He's out, but here's Mrs. Schicke, the gracious of- fice clerk whom the students soon learn to love. The new addition boasts of spacious of- fices for the superintendent and his secre- tary. On the left is the typing room, and directly ahead is a math and civic's one. Maps and more maps at the next stop tell us that social studies are pursued here. Let's peep into the basement and see how the masculine half of the student body keeps house, The intricate machinery here is used in the shop course, and mechanical drawing is offered over here, A popular place is this visual education room. One last upward climb to a large chem- istry and physics laboratory, and across the hall isadandy sound-proof music room.. Last is the home of the 5cGrowler --the journalism room, That bell? It's three olclock! Time to go home! I'll relax a bit, and get cleaned up and shining to greet my boys and girls in the morning! So long! 'N 'X 1-: 5 mmwgvlr V pi il nf' ' If V
