lr LANCLIACES Now remember you have to be quiet in litre, says Squeakie as we squeeze under the door of the library There is where the lit trary students gather, including our Scohl .irship Club Members with their hard won cards. Yes? we say, as a spit wad sails across - and LIBRARY Ruth Brown A.B., 15.5. of L.S. W1'.lfl'V'll RK'.Vl'l'l!' UlIil'l'l'Xi1'X' Helen Craig A. B. Lair' Ifrii' Cullvgr' I Mrs. llelen lilakeslee 13.3.

Maybe we ought to leave before we disturb someone, we say. All right, counters Squeakie, I just thought maybe you'd like to see the trophies. By the way, Como esta Ud? Huh?', Come on up to the Spanish room and l'll show you what I mean. As we cautiously enter we hear Miss Ong say, Sirvase leer. Wide-mouthed we listen to the poor students struggle through a story about un burro and some flores. Mrs Blakeslee used to do thisf' whispers Squeakie, but her favorite person- ality was Theodore Qshe didn't mean Rooseveltj so she went to Washington to join him fformer secret ambitionj. But Squeakief' we persisted, doesn't Miss Ong speak any English? But Natch says Squeakie. She even teaches it. She knows Latin, French, Portuguese, German, and some Russian. Gee, we breath reverently, a linguist. She collects jewelry, too,', adds Squeakie as we scuttle down the hall toward the Latin room. There we encounter Miss Craig and the sophs pouring over Caesar. But, Miss Craig, sighs one love-stricken Cherub, all I can remember - . , ,, is amo . Funny, we whisper, 'agricola' was always our strong point. Oh, Miss Craig teaches 'em more than that,', spouts Squeakie. And besides that, she runs a private bus system to Painesville -- 4:00 special. W'ell, on to the English departmentf'

PRINCIPAL Hi-ri x Ihr lalexl bulletin from D. R. Rice which just mme in MR. ELLIS M. HOSTETLIER No matter how busy Mr. Hostetler is, he always has time for a smile and a hello, His many activities include ofliciating at football and basketball games and track meets, singing in the Methodist choir, and membership in the P. T. A., the Dad's Club, and other local organizations. Since his pet pceven is a littered school building, he removes all paper in his path. As a boy he wanted to be a great surgeon, but Mentor can be grateful that he changed his mind and became our principal. THE BEST LAID SCHEMES...

ENGLISH Wham that Aprille with hes shoure soote Squeakie did you say English class? Sure. These are Miss Adkins' juniors learning Chaucer in the original. Well-er-what's the point? That,s what they're wondering right now. Miss Adkins teaches the speech class too. Sheis quite interested in dramatics and would like to be an actressf' I I Ei S The droght of Marche hath perced to the rootef' f ' 1 J Squeakie, how do you know all these things? Oh, says Squeakie smugly, I have my ways. Let's go over to Miss I-Ianway's class and see what they're doing. We willingly agree, being thoroughly confussed by Ye Olde Englishe bye nowe. As we wander in we hear, Is this the dagger which I see before me The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee ! Squeakie! There's going to be a murder! D0 something! Now don't get panic stricken. It's only a passage from Macbeth. We relax. Remember cherubs, your Shakespeare notebooks are due Monday, Miss Hanway remarks as the bell rings and we watch the happy little faces fall. Who are these sedate looking people? The seniors. They have progressed to world limi' Ah, now weire getting somewheref' Also term papers. Uh, maybe it's better to be a junior after all, we say reconsidering. In between term papers, they've studied Oriental Literature, French, German, Scandinavian, American, and-Oh-lots of other stuff. That must be interesting, but doesn't anyone ever learn any grammar? Just come with me and I'll answer that question. Squeakie struts out the door and we meekly follow him to Miss Garwood's junior high English Class. Miss Garwood is a Latin-American fan and loves to travel in the summer. But in her spare time she teaches English? No, no, you have the wrong idea entirely. The kids here learn their English thoroughly, and I mean it. Jeanne Garwond Ali. Flora Slum' Muflwr College, W4'.vll'r11 Rl'.Xl'7il'l' Fawn Adkins l3.A.
