Aides lt is the policy of John Greer High School to use every means that will contribute to the comfort and convenience of the spectators and visiting teams. In order to do this a number of pupils are selected each year at the beginning of the basketball season and carefully trained for this rather difiicult task. This year these Aides clad in their white jerseys added greatly to the success of the season by their un- failing courtesy and faithfulness. B. FRAME. Top Row-Tallinger, Preston, Silvers.

Monitors It has long been recognized that teachers alone cannot conduct an efficient school but must have the cooperation of the pupils. Such an opportunity was presented the past year by the introduction of the Monitor system. Twenty-three reliable students were appointed by the principal. Among the various duties confronting these boys and girls were: Keeping a record of all pupils in the corridors during the class periods, :md returning' assembly reference books to the shelves. The monitors also acted as a student council. B. FRAME.
