In the downstairs office Miss Bessie Nickolai and Mrs. Esther Hickok very effi- ciently kept school affairs on a strictly business basis. Clarence Speckin, the engineer, was ever mindful of the show, seeing that heat, lights, and water played a continuous performance. Lester Dadd and Alex Marchbank kept the building in top-notch shape for the appreciative crowds. In the cafeteria Mrs. Elsie Dreger, Mrs. Jeanie Han- son and Mrs. Bertha Lang prepared many tasty dishes for the mid-day pleasure of the students. Projectionist

Coaching the Cast — Some of the many students who held books in the lobby of education faithfully pursued classes in the academic department. Besides those who took required subjects, most of the students in this department followed a college preparatory course. Students in this section of the theater of learning will become valuable with their increased knowledge of higher mathematics, and the practical values of physics, chemistry and biology. History, sociology and economics will play important roles, as will English, language and fine arts.
