f'f'TT'TTTYY1fNWifYTffY WT The Boy TraHic Officers The Boys' Trattic Organization of McKinley is made up of a group of boys who perform their duties gladly for their school. They are not selected because they are favorites of certain teachers, but be- cause of their good citizenship and leadership qualities. They must not. have more than o-ne C and they are allowed no D's or E's. lf a boy is failing in any subject, he is dropped from the Traffic until he is stronger in his work. The duty of these boys is to direct 'I'rati'ic in the halls and to keep order at all times. They also assist in showing visitors and newcom- ers of the school to ditlerent rooms. The Traffic boys are allowed no privileges excepting that they may be excused for tardiness to classes. When a tight or any trouble starts in the halls or on the grounds, it is the duty of the Traffic boys to stop it. The Trattic Boys also usher in the auditorium. After a boy has been on the Tratiic for one term, he has the privilege of obtaining a gold Traffic pin.-John Clauder, A9. The Civic League Where is the hot dog line? asks a B7. Then the reception committee, Jane Stemshorn and Constance Morse, answers: Straight ahead, line to the right. Then to a B7, Stop running! Come here to the door and go back again. Jane goes after a girl who has pushed ahead in line, while Con- stance tries to hold back the line with one hand and form- the girls in twos with the other hand. Here, go back around Jane, says Eva Yanofsky. But Jane isn't there for the girl to go around, she is starting after another girl who has come in the wrong door. The poor little B7's just stand there, not knowing what to do. Hurry up, move on! Oh! are you a sc-l mean a B7? Y-e-yes-ma 'am. Do you want hot dishes or hot dogs? Both please. , Helen, show this girl the way, says Eva. Don't crowd ahead, go to the end ofthe line, says Gladys Baxter. Hot dogs this way. No, don't move over there. Of course you know this is from Helen Frentress. Don't push up there. Please hurry and stay in two li-nes, girls. xxxxxaamaiaaixxixacx

' I TYTTYYY1WfTY'?Y!.Y Really Thelma Prideaux has a hard job keeping those lines straight. How many times have we spoken to you about rocking in those chairs? asks May Larson. Those cushion tips are on the chairs to reduce the -noise. They're not rockers. No, you can't eat in this section. Oh, please just once. Just this once. No, rules are rules. We don't make them. You'll have to see Mrs. Erickson if you want to change them. May, send those three girls hack. They have to go in the other door, called Catherine Sims from her traitic post -near the west door. These are some of the trials of the cafeteria traitic girls at the be- ginning ofthe new term. Now, we'll give you the idea of the boys' experiences. The favorite sayings of the boys' reception committee, consisting of Frank Pilcher and Leslie Wayman are: Hey, come hack here - Stop pushing - Cro back to the end of the line, etc. Scrub: Say! Stop pulling me around. I can walk. t Letslie: Sorry, but you'll have to get in line if you want anything o ea . When the scrub finds out that Leslie is an A9 he doesn't try to argue anymore. Frank tto a new boyj: I-Iey, you, take these dishes away with you. New Boy: Oh, so that's the system is it? Well, all right. Arthur Skuratowsky stands at the e-ntrance and hears this remark every day. B82 Oh, Art, isn't there enough room for a few of us fellows. I am nearly starved. Arthur: Well, I guess about two or three of you can go now. Bill tto Ed after they have been separatedj 1 Aw, come on in this line. Nobody will know the did. Bill: Sure. Come on quick before anybody sees you. Arthur McDougal: I thought I told you to go in this line. Well, anyway, you get back in this line. Ed: Oh, gee! I suppose I ll have to go. See you later. Rees Caddow is a regular cop. I-le stands withhis arms extend- ed and one boy passes at a time. This gives you a very small idea of what the Civic League members do in their effort to make a better McKinley.-Jane Stemshorm and Constance Morse, A9's. L sl 1 L A I fL.1...4. ....
