NEW TAPESTRIES IN MAIN OFFICE Two new tapestries adorn the main office which were brought by Miss Cassidy all the way 'from a little town, Assisi, of central Italy. This town is picturesquely situated on a steep mountain, and is ap- proached by a narrow cobblestone winding road which leads up from the plains. The town has remains of ancient walls and of a Roman aqua- duct. A temple of Minerva forms part of one of its churches. Assisi is the birthplace of St. Francis and the cradle of the Fran- ciscan order. The monastery church of St. Francis, a remarkable edifice of the thirteenth century with one church super-imposed upon another, is adorned with masterpieces of Cima- bue and Giotto. The cathedral is a structure of the llth century. There are about 20 other churches and many monasteries. The crudest of trans- portation is used, and the cobble- stone streets are just wide enough to allow these carts to go through. The peasants of Assisi usually make their living by weaving tapestries. There are also many musicians in the town. It may seem odd to us, but the people never leave the city. The only connection they have with the outside world are the travelers, tour- ists, or maybe people who come there especially to buy some of these re- markable tapestries. 0 0 A Q.. A N0RwEG1AN msucs uoamyo LIBRARY Evelyn Reime has kindly lent the T. S. K. Library an assortment of Norwegian relics, and among these are a purse that belonged to her grandfather Eve generations pastg some coins, showing the pattern of each age 3 and a few very old and beautiful tapestries, Woven stories of Norwegian myths. To get these articles, it was neces- sary to Write to her grandmother in Norway. As soon as Evelyn's grand- mother read the message, she put these relics together and shipped them back to America. Now they lie in the library, open to anyone who wishes to see them. We'd advise you to go there at once. Each and every one has a history of its own and is very interesting. DING A NEW 'ifllN5jrARR KING The new building, which We have all patiently waited for, is at last completed and is certainly worth be- ing proud of. Step by step T. S. K. is going forward. Progress is our watchword. As most of the older students have probably noticed, there is a marked improvement in the ap- pearance of our school compared to the day it first opened its doors to us two years ago. . QP 0 A S.

A great share of the success was due to the very generous co-operation of the following companies: Pickwick Airways, Inc., Sperl Aircraft Corp., Rogers Aircraft Cord., Maddux Air Lines, Al Wilsoii Aero Corp., Tanner Livery, Inc., Aero Club of So. Cal., Union Oil Co., Associated Oil Co. These companies, feeling that flying is just in its infancy, have shown a wonderful spirit by donating to the boys of Thomas Starr King compli- mentary rides in the latest up-to-date flying machines. By the expressions on the boys' faces after their trips in the air, we knew there had been generated a feeling of satisfaction, and a deep desire created to prolong their activities in the field of aeronautics.
