SCOTT Matron chooses each year a group of students to act as office assistants. These people are also the ones responsible for delivering blue slips, circulating announcements, and recording report-card grades. When neither Mrs. Lyons nor Miss Toomey is in the office, the assistants are in charge of answering the telephone and greeting callers. This yearls group, chosen from volunteers, is an all-girl crew. ln order not to keep the students from a needed study hall, assistants must maintain a passing grade in all subjects to retain their position.

GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME Most school activities end in early June, but there are two Speedway teachers who go right ahead into the summer with their supervision of student activities. One is Mr. George McClelland, sixth grade teacher in charge ot the summer- time playground, and the other is Mrs. Eleanor Strong, 4-H Club director. Mr. McClelland's playground group started last summer, with boys and girls of various ages participating. With the aid of Miss Dolores Coleman, i948 grad of Speedway High, he separated boys from girls and organized games and activities for each. Most of the boys were interested in baseball, and a series of games was played among the teams on the playground. This is a big step toward the supervised summertime recreation which Speedway has been lacking tor so long. 4-H Club is not new at Speedway. lt was begun several years ago. Under the leadership of Miss Susan Keckler it reached its peak in membership. Since Mrs. Strong took over in l948, many local girls have taken entries to the State Fair, which is a real accomplishment in 4-H. This club gives girls who didnlt take Home Economics in school a chance to acquaint themselves with the Domestic Arts.
