Cffice ls G. H. For School Traffic In the successful management of a school there must always be an office, and at the head of that office there must be an able execu- tive-the principal. If the school is to run like a well-oiled clock, there has to be a strong and steady mainspring. It is the princi- pal's duty to be monitor, leader, and a friend of the students. To fill this job successfully is as difficult as it sounds, but Mr. Roe fills his job very well. No clock can keep perfect time without the timing wheel, and this William S. Roe, Principal. OFFICE Wynng Margaret A. Wiley. Emily Aim Fi-ike: Iosephine Schlolterg Louise Eugene L. Anderson, Business Manager. is where our business manager, Mr. Eugene Anderson, appears. It is his responsibility to keep the budget balanced. He must see to it that all ticket sales campaigns, and other financial matters are well handled. Like a clock, an ofHce cannot be smoothly run without some cogs and gears. Miss Ann Frike, the recorder, keeps the scholastic records straight, and acts as Mr. Roe's secretary, Miss Margaret Wiley, whose title is secretary, acts as book' keeper and Mr. Anclerson's secretary. If either Miss Iosephine Schlotter or Mrs. Louise Wynn were to be dispensed with, the running of the clock would not be smooth, Miss Schlotter makes certain that you don't get away with skipping school, and Mrs. Wynn is the matron and social director.

The lifeblood of a nation-good speech and a thorough knowl- edge of one's language. That incessant practice on the uses of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and such, and how to write a theme, paragraph, and phrase, may seem like slave-driving, but the rewards in later life thorough- ly recompense the conscientious in self-confidence and poise both in the social and business worlds. A person who has had the op- portunities offered to him, with no knowledge of the language of his own country, deserves no respect from people of his own or any other land. If you don't learn it now, it is extremely diffi- cult or almost impossible to pick it up later on.
