'1'TLY'TTYYY1fQifY,YYf 'T'YY--U' Attendance Office Every term assistants are needed in the Attendance Office. There are always many more applicants for places than there are open- ings. This is our program for a busy day. Of course many un- pected things come to our attention which we must handle in a business-like way. BEFORE SCHOOL-This is the rush hour at McKinley when we give out admission cards to pupils who have been absent. How we do wish the pupils would remember to come in at eight o'cIock for it would make our work so much easier! -Yetta Rosenblum, Martha Delsasso, Rose Radofsky, Irene Marvin and Hilda Stryker, A9's. PERIOD il-I-Iere come tardy students. They must be cared for. Then we record absences on the register while other assistants clear the board and put up new slips for the new day. -Grace Dean, Lillian Rosen, A9'sg Rebecca Rose, B9g Virginia Giddings, Marie Marvin, and Evelyn Fried- larnder, A7's. PERIOD 2-I-las this boy been in school without an admission card? We must look him up and Iind out if he was absent yester- day and why he did not get his card. -Marian Bergoug-noux, A8. PERIOD 5-Why have these boys and girls been absent? It is our special task to Iind out so we prepare notices to be taken by messengers to the homes. Someone must always be ready to keep the slips up on the board. -Lillian Ziskin, B93 Mildred Welch, A8. PERIOD 5-We have an important job. We ile excuses. This is very good ollice practice for us and we take pride in doing our work accurately and in keeping it up to date. -Marian Eltelt, B83 Helen Faller, BS. PERIOD 5-Such a bee-hive! We are writing office summons to check up irregular absences, writing demerit notices trying to induce belated notes to find their way to our office, and recording answers which the messenger boys bring. Then we telephone to homes to inquire about absence. -Yetta Greenberg, Eva I-Iahn, Mildred Osterloh, I-Ielen Burrus, A9's.

PERIOD 8-Now we are ready to clear the board and write ad- mission cards for pupils who were absent for the first time today. When there is much absence we have all we can do. We do -not be- lieve there would be so much absence if the pupils knew more about the work of the attendance office. -Jacoba Janssen, BO, Florence Schiffiler, BQ. AFTER SCHOOL-This is the time to finish up the work of the eighth period and do many little odds and ends. -Lillian Smith and Marie Heller, A9's. School Honors Doubtless there are many pupils at McKinley who do not quite understand the method in which the grades and pins are given, so l will try to explain the system which is now in use. - The highest pin, the scholarship-citizenship pin, is given when the pupil receives an Ael' in all subiects. An Ae may be obtained when the reduired work is up to an A and extra work is done outside of class. The pin of the next level, the' citizenship-scholar- ship pin, is awarded to the pupil who receives an A in all sub- iects. The A is given when the required work is equal to an A, but when no extra work is done. To win either of these two awards, the pupil must receive A in all citizenship qualities as well. Then we have the scholarship-citizenship certificates. These show that the pupil almost reached the standard for a pin, but was hindered by a B mark in ten hours of work. Mcliinleyites! Put every effort into your work, strive for one of these three honors and make McKinley proud of you. - Grace Dean, A9. -- Reach the Goal Work hard, think hard. Reach the goal at last!

All aboard for another term, Striving hard to wing Workfng hard, thinking hard, You bet we'1l get that pin! Work hard. think hardy Reach the goal at last! At last the pins we all have Wong Another term has passed. -Julia Rivera., Marguerite Peterek, C. R. 5. Llll1lLlL.ll-LLLLL LLLLL1
