It is hoped that the book will be ready for publication some time in May.

The editor has arranged her staff assistants, all seniors, as follows: Alice Hosier, Harold Barrett, Nan Taylor, Jack Numey, Betty Dixon, Jimmie Baines, Jean Kelley, and Robert Parker. Martha Bryant is typist. Dance to Finance Handbook The Handbook Staff will give the first dance of the season in the high school gymnasium Friday night, October 5, 1945, after the Alex¬ ander Park football game. This dance is to be given to raise funds for the publishing of the handbook which will be presented free of charge to all students in school. The handbook will also be financed through contributions made by various clubs in school. The staff has already acknowledged receipt of $15.00 from the Girls’ Junior Hi-Y; from the Boys’ Senior Hi-Y, $24.08; and $18.00 from the Girls’ Senior Hi-Y. It is hoped that this book will give to the students first hand information on school rules and regulations and will be of benefit to them in their school work.
