'Ufome oom Leaders HE Home Room Leaders' association is the student organization having the greatest responsibility in the school, being the repref sentative body for the several rooms and the connecting link between the rooms and the oflice. The members should be leaders in every sense of the word, and are recognized as such by their classmates and teachers. They are regularly elected by the pupils and their ref spective teachers depend greatly upon them for routine work connected with room organif zation, Their many duties, though arduous, have always been faithfully and successfully performed. Their chief task is to lead their rooms to the assemblies and report offensive conduct, a step seldom necessary at Harding. They are a most valuable aid in the sale of tickets for various alfairsg they attend meetings and bring messages to the pupils from the officialsg they see that the news of the bulletins is given to the student. During the whole year there has been very little cause for criticism in their work. It is an honor to be one of Harding's Home Room Leaders. Nil

New girls apply for the places as others leave or grad' uate, thereby keeping the number constant. A few of the pupils serve two periods a week, but most of them spend but one period helping the librarian. There are one or two girls on the squad each period of the day ex' cept the Hfth, when three or four are needed. Besides a regular student assistant, a few more of the group offer their services after school about once a week. The assistance that this Library Squad ren' ders consists of taking slips for attendance, writing notes, mending books, keeping the magazine room in order, arranging and shelvf ing books, taking care of the bulletin boards, i613 and clipping and filing articles from current papers and pamphlets. The squad, in prepar- ing new hooks for circulation, paste in the pockets and plates, and mark and shellac the call numbers on the back. The student assisf tants acquire useful information on the arf rangement of the library and its management, and membership on the squad ranks as an extra-curricular activity. The Library itself, now ending its fourth year of existence, is showing some signs of wear, The furniture testifies to hard usage. The shelves, once merely halfffilled, are now quite full and very valuable. The library is being used more and more, and an apprecia' tion of the value of the magazines is increasf ingly in evidence.

Tjocational Hubs HE Vocational Guidance system at Hard' ing has developed to a considerable degree this year, under the sponsorship of Mr. John McFarland, through whose cooperation and help, the organization will be one of the most successful student activities at Harding. The group has been so organized, as to enable all lower classmen to hold private interviews with the advisor, to discuss all matters pertinent to the choice of a vocation. In addition to the interviews, there are classes in occupations conducted daily throughout the year for all class 1 boys. Here the occupations are chosen and studied by the various groups and reports and discussions are made at each meeting. The counselor and thc chairman have cooperated in arranging a reading section in the library for the occupation classes. i 63 Guidance cards for all students contain the pupils' personal and scholastic records through- out their high school careers. Both the home- room teacher and the vocational advisor assist in the compilation of these records. Thus homefroom teachers are responsible for all knowledge about the students in their rooms. Medical, legal and engineering clubs have been organized and reports and interesting visits and contacts arranged for these groups by the advisor. Mock trials have been held by the legal club, which has proved to be the most active of all the groups. The counselor visits the various SA Grades of the East Side to acquaint the future Harding students with the high school and he receives groups from these grades for visits to the high school.
