The idea is an original take-off on a booklet published by the james Madison junior high school in Seattle. Creating a minor ripple, the board excuses students from first period classes in March to participate in a ten minute locker clean-up drive. Margaret McKechnie stresses the clean-up idea the year around by keeping atspecial locker com- mittee on their toes. President Gail Bruce leads discussions in the committee room during monthly Thursday morning meetings, assisted by vice president Eddie Preston, yell leader Bud l-leassler and secretary jean Stout. Once a month the group meets with the senior board to discuss the latest hows and whys. Passing laws on student conduct, selling season ticket stamps and granting debate, football, bas- ketball and track letters are the general duties falling under the board's supervision. Few PHS violators escape the vigi- lant eyes of the junior patrol members who are elected in all first period classes in junior high early in Septem- ber. Recognizable by their purple and gold jP emblems, the proud possessors of' the aforementioned exterminate hall nuisances with a vengeance. Down to the office go stray books, lost um- brellas and second offenders, into waste baskets goes waste paper and prestol the student body slate and halls remain immaculate. Meetings are not neglected by these minions of the law who close forgotten locker doors and inspect them regularly., Early morning finds them keeping stu- dents quiet and below first floor, even between classes they good-naturedly direct conduct. Combining sports and duty they carry their supervision onto the Viking field where they tactfully keep small boys off the playing field while keeping one eye on the fence. Under the direction of Philip Stucky the junior patrol began five years ago as a service organization much re- sembling the senior Viking Knights. Recently Don Hartung succeeded Mr. Stucky as leader E 1 E i t Tommy Edwards, jerry l SEATED: jean Stout, Charles

During the course ot a month the personnel increases to 30, and out ot instrument cases come assorted flutes, clarinets, oboes, cornets, mellaphones, sousaphones and drums. Uniformed in black and white they break into the ranks ot recognition with Indian Dance and ldyll at a November assembly. Accepted ardently by the student body, the reappear tor a second curtain call in March. Kenneth Fevvins, who ordinarily presses valves on the mellaphone, enters the Musical Competition Festival held here March 4 and captures an excellent rating as a French hornerf' Eleanor Lindstrom tosses aside the clarinet and takes a similar rating in the piano section. Betty Wrigley sticks to her violin and also brings home an excellent'l title. Inspired by the plans ot Miss Clark, the orchestra contributes that certain string at the annual spring concert. twenty l QA N -f 'rvaffmgi A l
