Miss Ruth Faris, the childrenis librarian, has had her training in Kansas City as is the case of Miss Margaret Gill, an assistant librarian. Miss Edna Detchmendy, assistant librarian, attended a library school in St. Louis together with a course at Missouri University. Iowa University and Pratt ln- stitute of Brooklyn, New York, were the preparatory schools of Miss Annadele Riley, also an assistant librarian. There are two pages employed at the Paseo library. During the last year 140,785 books circu- lated from this library. of which 61.000 were juvenile books. The library is not used by Paseo students entirely but also by students of Rockhurst College. junior College and Teachers College, together with the public. Miss Ruth Faris, as children's librarian, has charge of 12 grade schools. Various activities are carried on throughout the year for the enjoyment of younger people. This year there will be the fifth annual puppet show under the direction of Paul Kelly and Roy Guettler. Each Saturday morning from October to May inclusive, is held the story hour. There was also a doll collection and a book exhibit contributed by the Bancroft School. HEALTH ADV1 SER For the last few years Paseo has had a new health adviser each year. VV e would have liked for them to stay longer in order for us to get better acquainted with them. They were all very capable and efficient. Miss Marie F. Powers is our health ad- viser this year. She formerly was at Man- ual Training High School. She has worked at Columbia University in New York. The health adviser at this school has a bigger job than some people think. Her work is other than emergency work. She prescribes corrective measures for all the students whose health is defective in some way. She also grants elevator permits to those pupils that are unable to climb the stairs. For such students she also sees that their programs are arranged in order that their clases will not be far apart in regard to floors. She also advises students as to glasses, advisability of having tonsils re- moved, and other similar things. Any stud- ents coming from open air schools are under the supervision of Miss Powers. CAFETERIA As in former years, Mrs. Mary L. Gibson has had charge of the cafeteria. A custom begun last year of a ten cent lunch was con- tinued into this year, the only difference being that the number of ten cent lunches offered has increased over that of last year. A new addition to the menu is a malted milk which is made in a new machine bought this year. This machine was first tried out to see if it met with the approval of the students. The members of the force and those who make such delicious foods for the hungry students are: Mrs. Redd, steam table, Mrs. Mollencamp, steam table, Miss Sayler, sandwichesg Mrs. Birdsall, saladsg Mrs. Ca- wood, stock-room, Mrs. Bowser, clearing tablesg Mrs. Meek, ice-cream, Mr. Scrog- ham, jlanitorg Mrs. Stockton, desserts, Mrs. Beckwith, steam table, Mrs. Johnson, cash- ierg Mrs. Rupert, saladsg Mrs. Capps, clear- ing tablesg Mrs. Griffith, candy, Sally Diggs, cook, VVilbur Goss, assistant cook, and Anne Gordon, assistant cook and dish washer.

The chairman of the Safety committee, Tom M ix, automatically be- came president of the Automobile Club. and the other members of the committee com- pleted the list of officers. A series of safety tests dealing with the Traffic Code and the mechanical side of driving was given to the student body by the committee. An amendment to the Consti- tution, which provided that the Safety com- mittee be enlarged fro1n three to five mem- bers, was effected during the second semes- ter. The safety plan at Paseo. as fostered by the Safety Committee, has been recognized by the Na-tionlal Safety Council as being the second best among high schools in the United States. Through the work of the Property and Courtesy Committees, which convened MISS EDNA DETCHMENDY MISS RUTH FARIS -11 for the purpose of successfully carrying on the annual Paseo the Beautiful!! campaign, many plans for improvement about the school and a more pronounced atmosphere of courtesy within the student body were secured. The School History Committee carried on the work of recording events con- cerning the school which were given pub- licity in the newspapers, thus marking each milestone in the schoolis route of progress. The sale of Paseons was handled through this group during the second semester. The members of the executive board were: president, Bob Barnesg vice-presi- dent, Gerald Novorrg secretary. Marion Corsong treasurer, Bruce VValkerg sergeant- at-arms, Dan Kelliherg senior members, Helen Kitsmiller and Shelby Storckg jun- io-rs, Dorothy Pierce and Leonard Straussg sophomores, Margaret Wilsoii and Betty Jane Wooclsg fresh1n.an, Bob Niemeyer and Ann Corbin.
