D. A. R. Margaret Singler Margaret was chosen by the seniors and faculty to receive the D. A. R. Good Citizen Award. We are glad to have Helen with us to do some post-graduate work. POST-GRADUATE Helen Warnsing What's New? This! Hail, you “critters” from out of space! Don’t be in such a hurry to get back to your dark domains. Let me take you by the hands and show you the sights and wonders of No-komis High School. My dear little man, observe the new location of our library and the “ag” room. In the “gym”, our new cafeteria is located, where delicious meals are prepared by excellent cooks and served with lightning speed to hungry students. “Who are those people sitting at the table with the teachers?” Why, they represent the many parents who come to the school each day as guests. The band room also has a new location, and now we are hearing the chorus singing a number under the able direction of Miss Crog-han, the new vocal teacher. The bus that has just pulled up outside has come from Coalton where the industrial arts shop is located. This worthy subject is taught by Mr. Carrell, a newcomer. Let’s go upstairs and see the commercial room. In this room there are beautiful new desks and typewriters. The students are taught the use of these by another new teacher, Miss Brady. You ask, “What are those orange colored books?” They are the Student Guides which were published this year for each student which give all the valuable information the student should know about the school. That is Mr. Micka, the new Spanish teacher, reading the daily bulletins which are printed and read each day to the students in the renewed period called activity hour. Those bells mean that we should go to the study hall and see the awards that are being given to the best scholars for outstanding academic work. Those new teachers in the study hall whom we haven’t met yet are Miss Hicks, Mr. Marrs, and Mr. Calvin. Before you leave, you must attend our college and vocation day. Mr. Bertolino has engaged representatives to speak to juniors and seniors on the newly planned Career Day for the purpose of helping the student plan for his future vocation. I’ll see you off. Watch out! That’s a pupil trying to drive a car in drivers’ training which was started this year under the direction of Mr. Calvin. Bye now! Come back soon and see how our school progresses with the times. L. H TWENTY-ONE
