CRUMBS FROM THE KITCHEN The Home Making Classes of Number 9 are learning to prepare meals and keep a house in which their family can be healthy and contented. The 7A girls should all do good Work in their morning classes, for they have been learning how to start the day right. They are planning and cooking breakfasts in such good time that they should never be late for school. The 7B and 8A girls are preparing some of the many dishes that may be served for luncheon or supper. They have also laundered table linen and cleaned silver so that their lunch tables have a most attractive appear- ance. Besides preparing dinners that will make the hungry workers glad to get home, the 8B girls are learning how to make their homes attractive. They are studying the correct use of color and design. They have had a present from the Mothers' Club with which they bought gingham table cloths to make their daily lessons more attractive and linen table cloths which add greatly to their meals. THE TRAFFIC SQUAD Our traffic squad is of great service to our school. Preventing the children from crossing the street except at the corners, when the lights are in their favor, helps to keep them free from accidents. But it is no small task to keep the boys and girls in check. The boys who compose the squad are: Ainerigo Piccarelli, Captain, Abraham Sadowsky, Peter Freed, Michael Felice, Joseph Caparicci, Frank Piccolo, Evert Soderlund, Ralph Gatti and John XValsh. They are faithful in performing their duties, and may be seen at their posts every day, in all kinds of weather, ready and eager to co- operate ivith the policeman assigned to our school. THE ANNEX TRAFFIC SQUAD Our annex has a fine traffic squad of alert, courteous 5124 boys who do all in their power to protect and help our children at assembly and dismissal times on the streets adjoining our school. They are at their posts early every day, rain or shine, and are proud to wear the Patrol Badge. Their names follow: Herbert Breit- man, Eric Chader, Dominic Ceraldi, Michael Cassano, Michael Damiano, Frank Esposito and Salvatore Monte- fusco. 5134 boys also hold the traffic signs during our tire drills. They are our Minute Men ready on the in-

The members supervise the yards, stairs, and exits. They re- lieve the teachers of immediate build- ing supervision. Instead of the ,teachers doing all of the work, the 5B3 boys and girls take the responsi- bility of the entrance of the school. In this way they gain practical experi- ence and a sense of pride in their own importance. Service is their prime aim. They are friends to all. These monitors have a strong and healthy and loyal school spirit, and help greatly not only in control, but, even more important, in preparation for civic usefulness and social participa- tion. At their meetings they discuss school needs and helps in gaining 100 per cent in punctuality. Members of this group are: Chief, Albert Peterson, assistants, Raymond Vllenschal, Edgar Grasham, Jack Bow- ser, Marvin llleiss, John Scott, Charles Irving, Alice Ennis, Dorothy Thomas, Kathleen Cusick, Helena Friedberg, Anita Stecher, Edna Karnofsky. - Silent Fire Drill monitors are mem- bers of the Service Squad also. These boys carry wooden painted disks through the rooms whenever we have a fire drill without bells. Their names are: Jack Bowser, John Tito, Albert Peterson, Ewart Bateman. The Service Squad boys who wear school colors and who carry messages to the main office from the annex office are very efficient and reliable. Their service is always prompt and courte- ous. The members are: Charles Irving, Edgar Grasham. MEMBERS OF HOUR FINESTH Although not wearing a fine blue uniform, only the badge of their rank, have you noticed the members of Our Broadway Squad? How efficient they are? WVe are sure Capt. Gianakos will be a future Commissioner of Police with as capable a force of deputies as he has now. Modern days bring modern ways, and our girl patrol is a very close rival and as able to fill any position in line of duty as their fellow mem- bers. The duties of these boys and girls who so ably assist the Faculty are to supervise and keep discipline in the yards, on the stairs and at the exits. FORMER TEACHERS Since our last issue of the Monitor, two of our fellow teachers have left our ranks. Miss lVakeman, who never knew any other school but No. 9, even as a child, has left us to enjoy a well-earned rest. She retired on March seventeenth. Vile heartily wish her good health and many nappy years. Mr. Onken, our athletic coach, has advanced to a position in the Contin- uation Schools. VVhile we congratulate him on his promotion, we miss his cheery smile and his helpful coopera- tion. ' MOTHERS' CLUB- The Kindergarten Mothers' Club has had an unusually successful year. Many of the mothers of new children have come to the meetings and there have been several who speak little English. Different members act as in- terpreters and over the congenial cup CContinued on Page 493
