We are inviting you to accompany us on a tour through our new building. As we en- ter the front door we hear the busy humming of many typewriters in the commercial de- partment where Miss Schlupe, the head of the department says that this buzz is from twelve typewriters tsix Royals, six L. C. Smithsl. There is also a mimeoscope and a mimeograph to speed the process of making the school paper and for duplicating tests, programs, and announcements. Across the hall we find the agricultural department directed by Mr. Stuckey. This department has a considerable amount of equipment, a power equipped table saw, a joiner, wood lathe, band saw, jig saw, drill press, grinder, forge, and a large supply of hand tools. We recognize an apparatus for testing milk and cream as we are leaving the room. Jw Jlvwwffh Upon leaving the farm shop room, We come to a stairway which leads us to the second floor Where in Mr. Buckingham's science department, We see a rnost unique piece of equipment, a micro-projector. For the chemistry students there is an electric still. The physics students have a static ma- chine, a pressure vacuum pump, a sonome- ter, a barometer, an electroscope, and a po- larized light meter. The biologists have four lite-size models representing the respiratory system, a cross section of the head, the skin and inner tissues, and the ear. At the far end of the hall is a very modern kitchen for the home economics girls to prac- tice the age-old art of cooking. There are six electric stoves and a refrigerator, plus six dining tables and chairs for each group to practice table service. Sewing is carried on in the adjoining room where there are five

UMW Singer sewing machines. Two pinking ma- chines, a hemstitcher, and a buttonholer are examples of the extra equipment which helps to make sewing easy and pleasant. Retracing our steps, we pass the cafeteria and smell the delicious odors of the cooking food. We truly wish that We might siay for lunch. We glance in the study hall door and see approximately l5O chairs filled with indus- trious students sitting at tables preparing their lessons. Looking through the glass partition we see in the library, more students checking our books, magazines and newspapers. We then proceed down another hall and enter the music room where Mr. Hite is hav- ing band practice. Immediately we see the bass drum, the alto horns, bass horns, bari- tone horns, clarinets, saxophones, comets, French horns, Cymbals, and snare drums. After listening for a few minutes, We go down the back steps and look in on Mr. Peter's gyrn class, Where the boys are playing volley ball. The athletic department has a complete line of athletic equipment for all physical education classes. The equip- ment for the varsity athletic teams is amonq the finest in the state. We then go to visit the grade rooms. Here we find nearly 250 students in six rooms making themselves busy by either study, reciting or decorating their rooms, giving them a sense of liveliness. We shall now go to the general office. Here is the teachers postoffice, the supply counter, and secretary's desk. We shall next proceed through this office to our superin- tendent's private office in which is the two- way sound system. lt is encased in a beauti- ful walnut finished cabinet. We thank the superintendent for our enjoyable trip.
