atc-:tc-:nta The cafeteria is downstairs. Relaxingly informal, it becomes a merry bedlam from twelve to one o'clock. lt's been estimated that a total ot 35,994 people are served here during an average month-9,000 purchasing meals, and the rest such things as candy, cookies and ice cream. Mrs. C. H. Russell-better known as Maw -is general supervisor and manages very well in spite ot rationing. She plans meals that are well-balanced and appropriate for high-school pupils. For twenty-five cents we can buy a plate lunch consisting oi meat, a salad, a vegetable, bread, and a choice ot dessert or drink. Sandwiches are sold tor twelve cents and six cents. Our cafeteria is building sturdy Americans. , 2111 I W ' .

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.

THESPIAN INITIATION is being conducted by Billy Anderson, Bobbie Lee lones, Virginia McCrory, Miss Alexander, Patsy Miles, Frances Benton, Mild- red Rutledge, Marie Parker, Betty Meadows and Ethelia Ann Campbell. The shadows are the in- itiates, not ghosts for former members. MISS LUCILLE IESTER, violinist, plays a series of numbers. She is accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Diedrich. EXECUTIVES AT WORK are Bobbie lean lohnson and Tommy Ellsworth, who give the students an example of what it takes to produce an annual. KEEPING UP THE HOME MORALE are those lovely debutantes Sophie Soaphus Cat the pianoj and Rita Mortus Con the pianoD. Our assembly programs are like movie serials-we never know what's coming next. There are two things we can be sure of, however-the hero is always saved in the serial, and announcements are always made in as- sembly. Group singing was popular this year. War Bond drives brought such good performers as the Hollywood actresses, who made the auditorium rock with laughter. Spiritual growth programs provided a serious tone. Music and drama appeared regularly, the Casa Nova Orchestra, band, and Trou- PAGE 28
