Each year, tour plays are pre- sented: the Junior - Senior, the Girls' League-Thespiom, the Card- inal Service Club, and a one act play for Public Schools Week. The 33 Tyro Weekly, a four page paper I printed in the high school print shop, is published each Thursday.

Orientation is taught only to Sophomore B stu- dents and is a great help to them in forming their courses all through the high school years. If it is a college group, they study various colleges, as to What is taught there and the history of it. In Mr. Milor's college class a monthly mimeographed magazine is published. Each edition has a different editor and it is made up of short stories, poems, jokes, editorials, and illustrations. Both groups, college preparatory and terminal, also study their chance for success in the world. The Commercial Department teaches bookkeeping, shorthand, commercial arithmetic, and typ- ing. There are five awards given to commercial students: the Leslie I. Harris award , the William H. Eadie award, the Fred B. Mack award, the R. H. Stockwell awards in advanced typewriting, and in beginning typewriting. Former Winners Who are now employed at S. B. H. S. are Trieva Hill, assist- ant attendance clerk, and Lucille Padgett, financial secretary. Lola Geib, the former financial secre- tary, has been transferred and now works in the superintendents office. Physics, chemistry, biology, and practical science are subjects Which may be chosen from the Science Department. To have at least one year of chemistry or physics is a college requirement. Girls' health, classed as physical education but represented on this page, is a compulsory subject, but is only a one semester course. It is generally taken when girls are in their junior year, although it may be taken When they are seniors. The first quarter is de- voted to home nursing and hY- giene and the last quarter to first aid. Miss Virgiline Mulvane is the only one Who teaches this subject- i14l

THIRD ROW: David Savage Those at the helm of the student body government deserve much credit for the excellent work, they, as the executive committee, have accomplished. With David Savage at the wheel, as president, the Associated Student Body has had an extremely successful year. The season ticket, which covered all home athletic games and student body activities, was launched by the com- mittee. The season ticket provided subscription to the Tyro Weekly paper With the usual goal of one thousand easily reached. Two new .buildings, a commerce building and a cafeteria, were started in order to improve the over-crowded condition of the school. The cafeteria, building is to be used also for a social hall and a study room. An amendment was added to the Constitution. Under this new article there were fifteen members installed in the executive committee of which only four were elected by the student body. The others were representatives of the leading clubs and organizations in this school. The new amendment was written by Lincoln E. Moses, vice president of the student body last year, and revised by E. C. Cline. - A part time Vocational Educational program was introduced and super- Vlsed by Joseph M. Sharp. Complying with this new plan, students attend classes far one-half day and are employed in a down town store or office for the remainder of the day. . For the first time in many years, a senior girl, Ioetta Taylor, ran for the office of pre81dent but was defeated by Gordon Kaylor. A majority desire for a boy president was indicated when a run off election was held in favor of Gordon Kaylor, - - ,. 4 . . ,. H61
