gif FRiENDs ON GRAY CARPETS I The Girls' Guide Mrs. Struthers is suitably called the Girl's Guide, and is often consulted with girls' troubles. But, not only with troubles, for it pleases Mrs. Struthers to hear of the girls' successes. The social side of our school life is also due to her, as she has charge of parties and assembly calls. Mrs. Struthers arranges the teachers' and students' programs. which requires a great deal of time and enduring patience. ,The Boys' Friend Mr. Wilsons jovial nature makes everyone like to be with him. He solves the boys' problems, and is very enthusiastic about their physical and athletic wel- fare. When teachers are in need of new equipment, they apply to Mr. Wilson, who because of his generous nature, never refuses. Every pupil who enters our school for the first time meets Mr. Wilson, who gives the tests to see where the pupils are to be placed. -I 1. l f- N- f -- - - --+f-wwf----g----+-f-W-W-+1-1-?-il :J .- - ' ' - ,l

The Avenue of Eucalyptus , a very pretty picture, greets one as he stands at the doorway, and the lovely flowers and ferns make one feel at home. Mr. Brown is greatly fond of the outdoor, and the colorful lake picture which hangs on the wall of his ofnce shows it. Cut Leader Mr. Arthur C. Brown, our principal, as directing head of the school, is concerned most of all with everything that is for the best interest of McKinley. As far as possible, Mr. Brown wishes everyone placed for his own best expression, and for the best welfare of the school.

FRIENDS ON GRAY CA-IQPETS The School's Secretary Miss Miller acts as Mr. Brown's secretary, and has proved herself very efficient. She is responsible for the school reports whic hare sent to the Super- intendent's office. Miss Miller solves the students' problems when she can do so, without referring to her principals. Our secretary loves animals, and it no longer surprises the oftice force to see her enter with a little stray dog which she found on the street, and is anxious to take care of. In Charge of State Text Books Miss Gamble has charge of the State text books and the covers for themg and a full sized job it is, to keep them in order and conditiong to assess fines for lost and damaged books, and to make the detailed requisitions and reports to the State Department. She is gracious in assisting the pupils who have lost books, and does her best to see that the books are found. Another very important work is done by Miss Gamble-the filing of the pupils' records. She makes a record of every mark given by the teachers for each pupil in the school, which record is kept in the office safe for years and years after the pupil has graduated. Every pupil knows Miss Gamble and recognizes her as his friend.-Rose Rirxrzlbrrg, A9, V- . A , L...
