vUe Ll eJicate Hiss Louise Sangery whose domain is art, was born and bred in Boston, Massachusetts. After attending the Massachusetts School of Art first normal art school ot this country, she came to Oceanside as a rookie teacher and stayed. During the year of 1932, Miss Sanger went to Europe for the Grand Tour. Lately, during the summer months, she has been working on jobs connected in some way with the subject she teaches. Besides teaching, Miss Sanger has been taking courses at N. Y.U. and will receive her M.A. this spring. BOB: Miss Sanger, we owe much to you for your great service as production and art adviser for the Spindrift. Many students have not been aware of howmuch you have contributed to the Arts of Living. Miss Sanger, tell usyouraims concerning the student in life. MISS SANGER: I have tried to open the doors of understanding to one of the most enriching types of experience—Art. Art is one of the most satisfying occupations whether an individual enters the field professionally or only uses art as a hobby. I want to develop in students an awareness of inner values In life, observation of significant form, and skill In interpreting them. My final aim is to initiate students into the perplexities of the art of today—art that has been rapidly changing from the customary form. Thank you, Bob, for listening to my view.

 Tickets please! 30F WEST: Be it ever so humble, there is no place like homeroom. Everyday in O.H.S. is started off with homeroom period. Just ten minutes to do all your homework, take attendance and read the order of the day. Although these duties seem sufficient to gobble up the few minutes, local gossip and horseplay manage to crowd the clock. Oh! there goes the last bet 1,and as usual the stragglers are rushing to get to their homeroom seats before the teachers look for them. Let's drop inon Hiss Rapp's sophomore homeroom. It looks as if Miss Rapp is collecting Red Cross money. Everyone seems to be doing his share to make the room 100% Red Cross. Oh, Miss Rapp, how are you coming along with your contributions? MISS RAPP: The students seem to be only too glad to contribute—or else. How about a donation? BOB: I think I better leave. Now let's drop in on a little haven of peace and quiet, the cafeteria homeroom where over one-hundred seniors begin thei r day. There is Bob Milos vainly trying to read the Order of the Day above thedin and there is Miss M. Sullivan attempting to take attendance with half of the students at alien tables. Oh well, they say variety is the spice of life. The homeroom offers lots of variety. HOME ROOM CAPERS Miss Rapp getting effective results from her willing homeroom. You kids certainly bite thedust to be on time, don’t you?
