And this is the office-a place to be shun- ned when we have guilty consciences Cnot that any of us ever doD and a place that holds no terrors otherwise! There is usually a subdued hum of activity here, for the entire student body is in and out all day long for some reason or other. Anyone is at liberty to consult Mr. Lewis Mahoney, our principal, either individually or with groups, about any problem or situation that may arise, therefore it isn't surprising that he hasn't a noticeable amount of spare time. Mrs. Gertrude Brazil, the registrar, also in great demand, does everything from reserving audi- torium seats for plays to inquiring into the al- ways plausible reasons why students wish to sign out. Several capable pupils stay in the office during their study periods, helping with the work, of which, as we implied before, there is a superfluity. These pupils take announce- ments to the classrooms, collect the absentee slips, answer the telephone Cwhich seems to have a permanent ringl, type, and act as gen- eral informants to anyone needing assistance. Students may report a lost or a found article to the office with the assurance that eventually the former will probably be found or the latter restored to the right person. 1 l PAGE 25 ln order to sign out to go to the big football game, Richard Gill- ham, Betty Lou Smith, and George Collier have to get mother's per- mission.

The boys who dash in and out with equipment are the motion-picture operators for the audio-visual education program. Miss Clifton superintends the arrangements. The seniors have a separate room where they can study without being distracted by noisy underclassmen, however, We sometimes wonder if it isn't perhaps the juniors and the sophomores who benefit by the arrangement. The books in the library range from fiction to nonfiction, past to future, and formality to in- formality. Fortunately, all the books do not Contribute mere scholastic information, therefore our choice of reading material may be seri- ous and sober volume of interminable length or a short frivolous book designed only for pleasure. Theres nothing like variety in a library! LIBRARY WCRK is handled very nicely in the afternoon by Mary Ann Carpenter, Betty Anne Burrough, Ruth Keith, lrving Panzer, Laura Alice Wilson, Mary Ann Hood, and Leona Colburn. PAGE 25
