ATTRACTIVENESS AT STANDISH HIGH During the recent years since Miss Murray has been teaching at Standish High School she has im- proved the school lawn and grounds so that they now look much more attractive. After the new division which now contains the Laboratory and Home Economics was added to our school, a small lawn was land- scaped which takes in the entire area in front of and beside the laboratory. Since the lawn was made Miss Murray has discovered the need for more attractiveness around our sdhool. With the per- mission of the schoolboard she bought sufficient shrubs for a hedge which extends from the front steps along the entire front of the lawn. She also pur- chased some lilac bushes to plant by the fence facing the woods, some shrubs which will in time climb the side of the schoolhouse itself, if nothing prevents them, and last fall she had the boys of the biology class dig a flower garden in the center of the lawn and set up a bird bath in it. In this garden Miss Murray and the girls of the biology class plant- ed several kinds of bulbs which are rewarding her richly for her work and giving pleasure to the other members of the school. ' E.

For the av- erage person, however, a book must be attractive to entice the reader. With this idea in mind a library has been established here at school. ' In the past years the books have been scattered throughout the different rooms. No one had a definite idea, not even the teachers where a book might be. There are many books which the pupils did not know even existed simply because they were shut up in some boukcase. This year the text books have been removed from the room down? SEQITS to the .ttic by the RYA workers. In their places on the shelves have been neatly arranged the reading and reference books which were scat ered around up- stairs. All the books have been classified and each classifica- tion arranged in a special sec- tion on the shelves. Book pockets and book cards have been typed so tgat everyone must sign out a book before it is taken from the room. all bopks have been numbered so that, with the assistance of the card catalogue anyone may find the book he wants quickly and efficiently.. The magazines have brought downstairs and arranged neatly on the shel- ves. Two long tables have been placed in the room on which are scattered magazines and diction- aries. In the future we hope to have attractive curtains at the windows. The success of the library de- pends on the students. The li- brary is sonething to be taken care of, not abused. If the stu- dents cooperate to the best of their ability, the library can become an important addition in our school life. --Virginia Smith '42 + 4 x 1 x 1 1 s x 1 In the Chase Bank!

SOMETHING WENT WRONG Howard Craner, obviously a salesman, entered thenCrossheart' hotel in Denver and registered at the desk. Two occupants of the lounge chairs nearby noted that he was a well dressed and re- spectable looking man probably in his early thirties. A third lounger remarkedg-- NThat fellow--he oughta be--- he'B got one of the best sales jobs of the Denver Farm Equipment Co.-- you know--they supply all the Western Middle States and some of the South Western ones.W Craner went up to his room:--- 'Wonder why the boss called this sales meeting--lose a lot of time coming from Topeka--guess I'll- eat before I juggle the books -- guys with brains don't work wonder whats on the radio.U The strains of nmeet Me In The Ally, Sally' crashed through the room while Craner fixed his bow tie and tux. Soon he went down to the dining room and ate an ex- pensive dinner with some aristo- cratic gentlemen. After dinner he went to his room and completed his sales report--omitting many- large collections. Craner was smart. In another part of the city John Ferrel entered a wholesome boarding house which presented quite a contrast to the WCross- heartn. John Ferrel was also a salesman of the Denver Farm Equip- ment Co. As he signed his name one noted that he seemed quite backward and somewhat lacking in driveg also,that he appeared hon- est. In fact,probably,he did not have the backbone to be otherwise. He went to his room:--WWonder--- why the sales meeting--got to work on report--can!t seem to lo- cate i4.6O--don't want to lose- job--quess I'll eat at Tony's-- cha p--not many People--like Tony. After Tony's John worked out his report and decided to take 64.60 from his own pocket--NHel1, I'll leave it out.W It made him courageous to say, Whelln. The next day the sales room was packed with men, business suits and cigars. Among these Howard Craner circulated congen- ially and oonverstaionally. In a corner by the back door John Ferrel waited for the manager to put in an appearance--i suddenly the room quieted5-- The manager. WBoys,W he said, NI have de- finite proof that some of the re- ports that you filled this morn- ing were not complete and that someone had withheld collections. I had suspected this before which is the reason for this meeting. In order to clear up this diffi- culty I have hired a lie detector and an operator and every sales- man on the staff will be ques - tioned. Howard Craner had read about these machines and knew the prin- ciple on which they worked. He mused, WWhat'll I do--got to sta- balized blood pressure-- I'll lie on every question-- they'll be given in private--wouldn't suspect a man of lying about name etc. un- der circumstances--nothing stops a smart fellow.n John Ferrel was quite perturb- ed. He thought nThey wouldn't care about 34.60--still they might--what'll I do-- don't know how it works--won't do any good to tell the truth--Hell, I'll lie about it--I can control myself. The operator was the only man
