By next September first, the entire HP school building from Second to Third will be redecorated. School employees are well on the way with plastering. Painting will begin soon after school is dismissed in June. Several different tones of paint are planned to be distributed throughout the building. Rooms on the north side will be done over in light, warm colors to counteract the lack of sunlight, while rooms on the south side will be toned down with cooler shades. Highland Park High will be a bright, cheer- ful place for all to return to. Lately students have had to be more observant in order to dodge the ladders that are swung around by the workmen. Several Parkers Crightj pass under the scaffolds on the hall stairway, hoping that they don't get plastered. Many students were extremely anx- ious to be patriotic purchasers of War Stamps on March l0-because with every l0 or 25 cent stamp went a lollypop. Miss Kneip's sixth hour U. S. history class Cleft abovej seem to have been liberal buyers, and are evidently enjoying the whole affair. Six girls from Miss Eunice Herald's senior homemaking class planned and sponsored the drive. Ida D'Ambrose, Shirley Elward, Betty Jeremias, Lyla Kassem, Mary Sarrechia, and Irene Lionas spent hours before and after school for three days making the 700 lollipops to be given away. The girls themselves donated the ma- terials for the confections. Stamps were sold during fifth and sixth periods in the classes and also in the halls lleft.J Grand total was S150 for Uncle Sam. The sale was credited to the HPHS bonds and stamp record.
