Occasion tea teachers Here, with Delpha Davis pouring, are, from lett, Mildred tured a report by Ruth Bradish on her visit to England They Enioy Their Spot o' Tea ENGLISH TEACHERS feel that their responsibilities do not end with the tinal bell each day . . . a burden they share with every other teacher. But they also realize the need for tellowship, a need they meet with a series ot department teas, picnics, and the like. THE YEAR'S social calendar opened with an autum lawn party at the home ot Chairman C. E.Willson. Here new teachers were introduced and the group heard from those who had enjoyed exciting summer vacations. One such report came from Ben Jordan, who took a long Caribbean cruise with Uncle Sam's Navy. At an atter-school tea, another globe trot- ter, Ruth Bradish, tolcl the department about her sojourn in England last summer. A spring picnic tittingly clirnaxed the department's entertainment program.

Travel Talk THERE I WAS, way down in Panama! lt's Mr. Jordan giving a rollicking report on his sum- mer cruise with the US, Navy. His audience includes English teachers at fall picnic in Mr. WiIlson's back yard. 0 0 I ONE DE THE HARDEST problems Safety H r Director McCulIar had this spring was to ' ' convince students and teachers that the Civil Defense program was serious busi- ness. Nobody really expects an A-Bomb to drop on Phoenix, or Los Angeles. Maybe China or Moscow . . . but not Phoenix! However, Mr. McCullar and his fire captains met, planned, and finally produced a creditable air raid drill, The trial run was slightly rough, but the official drill went off without a hitch. We don't want an air raid, but we believe in being prepared. lt might pay us well some dayl AIR RAID COUNCIL: Dean McCullar outlines procedures for the Civil Defense air raid drill to campus fire captains, From left are Messrs. Nelson, Caceletto, Rasbury, Finley and Mrs, Banker, Messrs. Jones, Prather, Dixon, and Mrs. McNeill.
