' Friends of the air, it is with great pleasure that I undertake to describe to you Sentous! . First I will tell you of Sentous Auditorium, the finest meeting place for the finest group of students that can be found. The entizc student body assembles there every other Thursday and has a grand and glorious time either singing or listening to an entertainment. Cn sing days Miss Hardy has charge of the program. Many other splendid things have been given this semester. The Auditorium just about ac- commodates our school, or eight hundred people.

We hope you will visit our Aud some time soon. The Library This was overheard in the Sentous Library last week: Hello, Uncle John. This is the fairy of radio land-but I am in booklandf' Hello, little fairy. Will you please say your poem and be good. Ch, Uncle John. who is that terrible looking man with one leg? That is a friend of little Oliver Twist. Oh, nog there flies a par- rot. I beg your pardon, little fairy. That is John Silver from Treasure slandf' - Uncle John, will you look at that man over there making pictules by putting matches together. Yes, little fairyg that is Hendric Van Loong you can find more of those pictures in his History With a Match. What a lovelv dog, said the little fairy. Yes, he has heard The Call of the Wild. And all those people over there, Caesar, Edison, Socrates, Daniel Boone, Columbus, Wash- ington and the rest, will take part on the program when you are ready. Imagine Sentous without a Library. Where would those studious Sentousites go in the morning, at noon, and after school, to read, study or to look up something? Our Library is an airy, nice looking and Well equipped place. The books are arranged after the Dewey Decimal System. Perhaps the nicest thing about the place is the friendly atmosphere which Miss Bullock brings about with her smiles and lovely flower arrangements. Sentous Playground The Sentous Plavground is getting better and better each term. THERE IS N0 SUBSTITUTE FOR SCHOOL SPIRIT

The Commercial Department This is Station S.S.S., broadcasting to the boys and girls of radio land something that every Sentousite should know. This something is about the business of Sentous. The Commercial department ranks first in the business of Sentous. It is directed by Mrs. Cliff and Mr. King. The Commercial Math is taught by Mr. Knight. Mrs. Clif has charge of the typewriting and school store. The school store does a great deal of business around the first of the year, blecause most of the students are buying gym suits and class material t en. ' Mr. King has charge of the bookkeeping business. He totals up the yearly books, and keeps account of all. the money coming. in and going out of the Sentous Student Body funds. He has charge of the money in the Cafeteria. He also teaches the B and A9's Junior Busi- ness Training. When Mr. King totaled up the books on the candy counter for last year, it amounted to about fifteen dollars a day. That seems quite a bit for candy, doesn't it? Mr. Knight has charge of the Commercial Math. This is a study for the beginners in the business world, and if any A7 is planning to enter business he should take Commercial Math. There is no substitute for Commerce. Radio Station. S.S.S.- The Voice of Education Owned cmd Operated by Scntous Junior High School, Inc. Radio Super Stcition S.S.S. The Science Department Living in the city hinders us from getting acquainted with things that do not exist among tall buildings and paved streets. In order to OVSYCOH16 this disadvantage we have here in school a department which is for, that purpose, to get acquainted with things that we rarely see. This department is known as the Science de- partment. Mrs. Hausladen and Mr. Altheuser are the two teachers of Science that know of all the large and small things of the world that we should get acquainted with. They are the teachers of the two Science classes of Sentous. Science contains all the qualities to make it an educational and enjoyable subject. The students gather collections of fiowers, butteriiies, sea shells, etc. These collections are brought to class and the students get all the knowledge possible out of them. The students study the weather and when to plant different crops. Experiments are conducted. The students learn the names of gases. Notebooks are kept of all these things. For a time a white mouse was kept in a cage and studied! By collecting these diiferent things and studying them the stu- dents get an idea of how things of nature live. These different collections have made the Science department in- teresting, and I am sure you willlnot regret a visit to this department. There is no substitute for Science.

li Q25 , g 1 sc ' U TLV-.x'-is...-..i The gymnasium has been elevated and the playground leveled. There are two baseoall diamonds, a basketball court, two volley ball courts and plenty of room to put the shot. This is all on the Boys' Playground. The girls have. a new gym and playground of their own. If you want to take a ball or anything out, go to the gym olfice and sign up for it. When the article is returned, your name is crossed eff. The playground is enjoyed by all the boys and girls that use it. The Cafeteria When traveling through Sentous and you seem to have a vacant feeling, you should visit the cafeteria. There are, of course, no sign posts directing you to this well known rendezvous. They are not necessary. When the noon bell rings just follow the crowd. In this place you can buy soups, salads, sandwiches and everything good to eat. These dishes are prepared by our good chef, Mr. Camp- bell. Many students help him. We are served very quickly. Mr. King of the business department helps with the work of the cashiers. The Candy Counter Right near the Cafeteria is a fine Candy Counter. Every kind of bar imaginable can be found there. - That it is a very popular place is shown by the crowd which surrounds it. The counter is presided over by our well liked secretary, Miss Borg. Her right hand man is Charlie Rogers. Ben and His Helpers Fen. as he is known by all, is our well known caretaker at Sentous. Ben's real name is Mr. Bettendorf. He has seven helpers, who find plenty of work to do to keep things nice and pleasant for us. Charlie Rogers and Paul Rindone, two of our Sentous boys, help with this. Ben very often tries his hand quite successfully at making tables. The Lost and Found Store House Experience has proved the usefulness of Sentous' Lost and Found department. It is open from 8 o'clock to the beginning of school every day. It is open after school, also. This department is located in room 203. All things found on the school grounds should be turned in to this room, except books. Found books should be taken to the office. Student Government representatives are in charge of this work. The School Store The Sentous School Store is located on the first floor in room 116. Mrs. Cliff and Edith Mitten have charge of the store. On sale there you will find gym suits, gym shoes, notebooks, pens, pencils, folder- paper and many other school necessities. The Traffic System Sentous is located on a very busy street, so a Traffic Oificer is stationed at the main crossing each day. The safety of the students is thus protected. We are ve1'y glad to have th.ese policemen guard our safety, as We don't care to go the way of the buifalo. This, kind friends, concludes the Sentous Travelogue. I thank you. Radio S.S.S.
