Twice each year, as the details are shifted for the various vocations, a teacher from the Bell Telephone Company gives a series of lessons to each new detail of girls who have selected this as a part of their vocational training. They are taught the proper wav of speaking into the mouthpiece and the most efficient manner of managing calls. They are taught to be courteous always and willing to help in everv way. Sometimes the students have been helpful in emergencies. They have proved themselves capable, and it will be possible for some of them to obtain regular telephone operator positions. Adele Varella, a Sherman hello girl of the class of '54, is now em p l oy ed in the telephone exchange at Las Vegas, Nevada. rl' .Q ' .QH X 3 Y . 4, A,-,za-eSaL..'--f:-isa , J ilifffiu - .5 ,N -l6'4:gfzZy-1u'11e-

S-u-r-el l l l Have a look at the cookers and seamsters, sir l l ' And they still live to tell the tale . . . and want more of it. These boys, five classes, 16 to the class, 10 weeks to the course, went through the preliminary details without swallowing a needle or concocting a dish with killing effect. Further- more, they have helped pioneer the way for what is hoped may be a perma- nent offering at Sherman Institute-a regular Home Economics course for boys. Through the years there have always been boys who wanted to take cooking and sewing, a regular course, but hitherto lack of accommodations pre- vented. This year a reduced student body made the trial possible, and these classes were squeezed into the routine for 15 boys at a time. Being not simply volunteers, but claimants to the right, they have surprised even their instruc- tors with accomplishments. Gf course, at the start ambitious were a little high -shirts were more difficult than they suspected-and pies and cakes out of reach of beginners. Step right up girls and make your selection now. These handy trained men ought to make good husbands and appreciate a good home. ,! it V . 1 , . - 3 ' , .UQ -s i. N . a, ikr ' +1 -- 'Q?- 1 - . , .

THE IVLUIVER GARDEN Desert Plants Af Pima Legend BY MINNIE PATTON NCE upon a time an old woman and her grandchildren were living together far in the mountains. One day the grandma, having finished grinding some wheat for bread, told the children she was going to bring some water and that they must be sure not to quarrel and spill the flour. The children agreed that they would be good. But- when the woman came back she found the flour spilled. She was so angry that she took a stick and whipped them all soundly. Afterward she was very sorry for she was not used to treating them this way. As she went on about her cooking the children said to each other: We can't stay here because she has whipped us. Let's run away. And so they agreed. When the old woman had Hnished cooking she called the children to come and eat. No answer came. Searching, she found their tracks and knew right away that they had run away. She hurriedly took her walking stick and started after them. When the children saw her coming they decided to turn into mountain plants. Before they were through telling what they would turn into she was upon them. The youngest turned into an iron bushy another into a Palo Verde tree. When the old woman tried to catch the eldest she turned into a tall cactus and stuck her. Finding she could not call the children back she herself turned into a large white stone. And so all the plants on the m oun tains are descendents of the old woman's grandchildren.
