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-

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.

PEACE . . . casional rock that someone sees fit to throw and some other careless person misses in geology-of course you recognize the science department. I Heard in the lower hall of the annex is the rustle of the inescapable Ameri- can Observer for the Weekly News Review if you are only a sophomorel, challenged only by the passing of notes when the teacher isn't looking, at least we hope she isn't looking. And of course if you should go to the top floor of the main building you would hear speeches being given for the new speech- history class that was just organized this year and has received untold attention from the speech authorities of the state. Last, but not least, there are the forums. Better we should stop now! C 'iPlease, may I be excused, the car broke down on the way to school and l just couldnt get here any sooner. i'l'm awfully sorry, but I don't get my allowance until next week and I won't be able to pay my fee 'till then. I really didn't cut. I had a headache and I thought a ride would help it so that I would be able to get my lessons tonight. These are some of the more trite excuses that one hears upon entering the ofiice. The school could hardly get along without the oflice force and the matron that help us out of any difficulties we may get in. I After the din of the day, you can see that we are glad for a free session, please leave promptly. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT HT im' 'zuulzzlrrfzllly um! jlwir- jzrlly 11n1rlt'. Standing: E. E. Hedblom, L.
