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.
