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.

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-

Campus improvement and Beautification RIENDS and former students who vi 't th c u Sl e campus today will note many Chalfges In lafldscaplllgi walks, and new construction which add much to the improvement and beautification Of.Sherman. At the main entrance walks about the superintendent's office and home have been changed for greater convenience l t' . , p an ings about the superintend- ent s home have been increased and beautihed through enlargement ofyard and flower garden and removal of the arbor extending from Magnolia Avenue to H' h L iawat a odge. Lawns, by removal and replacement of sod at rade a d b . . g n y plantings of individuals and groups of young sycamores and flowering peach, have been made more attractive than ever. Re-landscaping of the grounds between Ramona and Minnehaha homes is now centered by a large outdoor fireplace or barbeque and circle flanked on either side by a retaining wall extending from building to building. This construction has been beautifully carried' out by the use of large stone brought from the farm. Back of the fireplace will eventually be placed a series of ten- nis courts. All in all this spot should soon become the recreation center for the girls' section of the campus, day or night, as the fireplace will prove a splendid site for group gatherings and rallies. Of course the new walks on Pepper street will not be overlooked, nor will the new swimming pool at the rear of the boiler house. ' Further landscaping improvements are also being planned for the immed- iate future. All of this work was accomplished through cooperation with S.E.R.A.
