fm l g X I IN THE HALLS . . . ,Q I Pounding of hammers, whirring of motors, clatter of tools, commotion in printingfthat is the industrial arts department of the manual building. Noise enough is made in these classes to make up for the silence that reigns in the fine arts rooms where the students are busy designing posters, drawing, print- ing, and even making plans for houses. But if you should happen to be in the main building and become stunned by a terrific noise, don't be alarmedfit is probably just the boys' cooking class. They shout to one another add the wrong ingredients to the wrong thing at the wrong time, and have even been known to add some most delicious soap to the spaghetti. I One. two, three, four, five: one. two, three, four, fiveg pounding feet drum out the various tap steps in the routine used in the girls' advanced gym classes. Heart-rending groans tell of exercises that require stretching a little farther than possiblefthat is regular gym. And if you look closely before the class is called to order, you will notice that a few of the girls take the only chance they have of showing their ancestry and climb around on the parallel bars, swing on the ropes and rings, play on the horse, and generally have a good time. Really though, if you want a good laugh, you should meander into the boys' gym classes and watch them cavort around, doing fantastic COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT fn' - - -r lln' tlglt' nj 17ll.Y1lIt'.X'A' mrlz.

Q We don't realize how much school and teachers mean to us until we graduate from school or leave to go to a school where we know no one. Some- how each teacher, in his own way, makes himself necessary to us. Let us go through school and take a glance at the teachers, slaving away to teach us a thing or two. I Din of typewriters, noise of scratchy phonograph records, unison recita- tion of shorthand, clang of the lockers of late comers trying to make it to their classes before the last bell-all this helps to make up the commercial depart- ment. Of course commercial English, arithmetic, and book-keeping do their share to adding to the responsibility ofthe commercial teachers. These teachers have quite a job on their hands. I Split iniinitives, frantic waving of arms, pantomimes, voice exercises sounding like a bunch of gurgling babies, scratching pencils in theme writing. and of course the journalism classes who do their best to put out a readable paper. besides doing their regular English, all go to make up the English department. l Nllkalkgf E ,J WQ1 KM-MVK

Mew A THROUGH THE WALLS . . . cute little highland flings and all other routines that are supposed to make them light on their feet-it sounds like something is coming down on your head. I ln a few rooms in the main building energetic students can be heard attempting to chatter with one another in the approved French, Spanish, Latin. and even German manner, ln fact, they have to write poetry, stories and themes. 'iParlez-vous Francais? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? And if not, why not? Our teachers can teach it to you if anyone can, and you might wish you knew some sometime. I Two and two is four, and is the sign that you are, no doubt, a coming mathematician. They even have a class lor those that are almost as smart as the teacher, in which they give a four-year course in three years. Nevertheless, before you graduate you know all about plane and solid tand is it solidl geometry, junior algebra and trigonometry. Or at least you should. I Next to the odor of the cafeteria there is nothing that can equal the aroma that lingers in the halls around the chemistry and physics rooms. The squeals of the girls in biology tdissecting wormsl compete with the drone of the lec- turers and the students that insist on keeping late hours, The whirring of the brains of the physics students is almost completely drowned out by the oc-
