I- Cafeterv SCEh i a SCENE I SCENE: Schoolroom. TIME: Just before the noon bell. Students sit upright in chairs, books piled neatly (?) on their desks, one arm braced for a speedy start. Teacher speaks tensely as she, too, becomes uneasy. She is now giving the assignment. TEACHER: We have several things to do tomor¬ row. First . . . let ' s sit still till the bell rings pages 843 to 900 ... I want an outline . . . The bell hasn’t rung yet! ! ! Sit back in your places. Why are you in such a rush? Now concentrate on your . . . Edward! Stop talking! ! Open your books to page 843 and start read¬ ing. I don ' t want to see a book closed until the bell has rung! (Pause). Quite, please! ! ! ! ! Students look furtively at one another and at the teacher. Their eyes stray inevitably to the dock which has somehow become unco-operative. It s pasf bell time. Some crouch and start impulsively several times—one gets up from his seat and is saved only by the good old bell. At last! Right on time. Curtain SCENE II Offstage is a great clamor of voices, slamming and dropping of books. (Sound like Histories.) The din grows nearer, and voices can be heard: Won¬ der if they got hamburgers today? (June Berg ); Boy. do I smell baked beans? ' ; I got in line first, chisler! ; and. Hey, Mickey, no fair—get back in line with the other little girls. Trays and silverware clash and glasses tinkle. The shuffle of feet and clamor of voices die away. The curtain opens. SCENE: Cafeteria. TIME: First part of lunch hour. MOOD; Mixed atmosphere of industry and con¬ tentment. Chairs are occupied, row on row. Countless plates, bowls, and cups resound to the strokes of knife, fork and spoon. Soup, sandwiches, and salads disappear. Talk dies to a murmur. Here and there a pupil relaxes blissfully before his empty plate. Soon grins of complete satisfaction are epidemic. EDWARD: (Glances apprehensively at the clock): Gosh! Why can ' t they hold up that bell?!? Laura Nunemacher. UPPER LEFT: Source of taste teasing odors and appetite whetting flavors is the busy, cheery school kitchen In charge are Mrs. Schuler, Mrs. Kestenholi, Mrs. Harms, and Mrs. Schoening. UPPER RIGHT: That comfortable feeling that pervades the brief after-lunch respite is here mirrored in two hundred faces. LOWER RIGHT: The sundaes must be good to judge by the smile on Gerry Deily’s face as she pays cashier, Miss Irene Tess. Bill Taylor and Miss Line cast a bemused eye on three hungry customers. At the extreme left, Rita Jane Fisher delicately manages a spoon, while . . . well, has Jack Kelly finished his?

oTc X oretgn language GU VIRGINIA MEHREN HENRY MAIER Treasurer President Lively, progressive leadership, and skilful, imaginative sponsorship enabled the Foreign Language Club to set a 1939-40 record of achive- ments that rings a challenge to FLC members of next year. There are four language-student groups at NTHS: French, German, Spanish and Latin. Each conducts, in cyclic turn, the monthly assembly programs of the club. Playlets, movies, guest speakers, music, all dealing with the cultural as¬ pects of the foreign languages studied, made in¬ teresting fare this past year. Occasionally the entire student body was fortunate enough to be invited. The year ' s activities closed with a picnic. There couldn’t possibly have been another e$ident more wrapped up in his office than 3 S Henry Maier. His co-operative spirit at e meetings and his able delivery of bulletins er the speaker system attested to his com- 3 tency. And great credit very deservingly 3 es to the capable co-sponsors, Miss Marjorie snalds and Miss Kranz, for their excellent di- ctorship. Foreign language course enrollment ould mount next year.
