I wish I could belong to an arithmetic opportunity clubfsighed Alice,whose weak point was mathematics, but we don't have them in our school. Everyone has to belong to at least one club, you see, and almost everybody gets a chance to hold some ofiicef' Don't you ever have any hard studies? asked Alice. Why certainly we do, answered Marjorie indignantly, What do you think school is for? These clubs and assemblies are education, just as well as lessons. We have six hours of regular lessons a day. We study onefhalf of the period, then recite during the other half. I take cooking, and I like it the best of any subject because we have every' thing imaginable to use in a kitchen, and we serve the meals we cook, in the dining room. - W7 '1 Do you mean to tell me that you have a real honf estftofgoodness dining room? asked Alice in wonder. L'We certainly do, and it's beautiful, too. We have a large table, twelve chairs, host and hostess chairs, a tea cart and two builtfin china closets. Besides we have a lovely rug and cretonne curtains. We just love to cook meals and serve them there. Mother says I've really learned how to cook many things and how to keep a kitchen looking spic and span, Marjorie added proudly. We have a sewing department,too, she continued, also fully equipped where beautiful clothes made by the girls in sewing classes are always on exhibition. And-oh, I mustn't forget our library. It's a large room containing nine large tables. What I like best is a huge fireplace of carved Bedford stone. It gives the room such a cosy appearance. Everybody loves to study there. We are allowed to take books from our library to read and keep them a week. COOKING CLASS At this moment, Bobby, Marjorie's brother, came ' ' ' from the house. TRAFFIC SQUAD Do you like the junior High School as well as Marjie, Bob? asked Polly. It's keen, all right, answered Bob in his usual good English I joined the Radio Club this afternoon and we had a swell meeting up in the tower room. k'Bob's a traffic officer, too, said Marjorie proudly, he directs all the pupils across the street after school. Oh, that's nothing, said Bob, blushing. Marf jorie is the captain of the Sanitary Officers, who keep school clean and neat. I miss band practice now dur' ing vacation, he added as he sauntered off. Do you have a band? asked Catherine. GYMNASIUM ' 4 Oh yes, and an orchestra too. The band is quite large, and the orchestra already has fortyfone pieces and is growing fast. I wish I went to a junior High School, too, sighed Alice. They certainly are the best ever, and I wish you could go too, said Marjorie loyally. MSO do we, sighed the girls. I9l
