MR. Homf:RT THOMAS MR. ROBERT KRYTER MII. VVINFIELD Woon MRS. ALICE BLIND Ever notice how clean thc school is? Don't thank me. Iim a very poor housekeeper so the administration supplied me with a crew of very efficient helpers. Believe me, our three custodians Mr. Wagner, Mrs. Scott, and Mr. Miller, have a job on their hands keeping the school shipshape, and they're certainly death on dirt. BRAINS. BEAUTY. BRAWN Of course it isn't the faculty only that keeps the school ticking. Did you ever hear of an iron board? Thatls what the school board is. They hold the iron hand of control over my school. My advice is called for sometimes but I let them run things mostly by their own judgment. Which reminds me, I was coming back from board meeting the other day when I fell down so hard I thought I had split a hoof. I hurried to the school nurse, Mrs. Beth Blind, who Hxed it in a jiffy. MRS. BETII BLIND MR. ALBEIIT WAGNEIX MRS. EVA SCOTT MR. HARRY INIILLER Q?

XVELLEII S0011 I 11oticed two strange people looking mighty be- wildered, so I introduced myself to Miss Doris NVatson, the new art teacher, and Mr. jack F oster, the speech Pllld English instructor. I showed them around my school and they caught the contagious rash of my pride pretty quickly. While we were on the tour, we saw Mr. Troth, dreamily engaged in inspecting blueprints for the science department in the new building. Ah, yes. The next morning was a lonely OIIC u11til about I0 A.M. in came a curly-haired young man. He spotted the basketball I had been working out with and quicker tllklll it takes to wink he had taken possession. Very appropriately Basketball Coach Charles Nay walked in at that moment and, as explanations were i11 order, I found out the young man was Mr. N. D. Weller, our new history teacher. Leaving these two basketball fiends, I trotted over to view the 11ew building. As I rounded the corner I encountered my friend, Miss Greer, talking to Miss Hendrickson whom I had already met. I made Miss Creer promise to get the girls' giant volley ball for me and received an invitation from Miss Hendrickson to attend choir anytime. Whoopee! Two birds with one hoof. When I went back to the high school building. I became highly indignant because Mr. ll. C. Foland did not speak to me until I realized he probably wasnt aware of my existence yet. He was so busy studying ledgers and commercial class books that I decided to return later. I was getting hungry so I galloped over to the Home Ee. room to raid the ice box. just as I began eating who should appear but Mrs. Strong. She made it perfectly clear whose refrigerator it was even if I am the spirit of the school.
