But her peaceful, happy life is soon shattered when a tramp by the name of l-lenry Abbott visits her to try to sell her some of his worthless paintings. When he leaves, Mary notices that her jade cigarette case is missing and she is quite startled when he appears in a few days, bringing her cig- arette case. Feeling sorry for him, she buys the pictures and tells him to go, however, just at this time his wife, who has been waiting in the cold with their small baby, falls to the ground. Henry quickly carries her in, and after placing her on the couch, he leaves and quickly returns with a quack doctor, who pronounces her too ill to be moved. Thus, the Abbotts are her permanent guests. They soon force the housekeeper to leave and then, with the aid of the Edwards and their daughter, Aggie, they proceed with their evil schemes. Through clever deception they convince her friends that she is in South America and they are then able to sell her valuable paintings. She is allowed to talk to one of the art dealers who, as her captors had foreseen, pays no attention to her story or her plea for help. But one day an ordinary bank clerk calls and through carelessness on the part of the Abbotts she is alone and she tells her story. The climax is reached when the bank clerk leaves apparently unexcited, but a few moments later he returns, bringing with him the police.

i rarians The Librarians consist of a group of fifteen students. Their meetings are held once a month, second period. At these meetings, they plan parties, take inventory of books, and repair damaged books. They usually have three parties a year, a hike for the new members in the fall, a Christmas party, and another in the spring. While at the library tables, the librarians help other students to find books and instruct them in the use of the files so they can find the books themselves if no librarians are present. The Librarians was formed when the school was built, but it has been under the supervision of a faculty member only three years. Sittixig: Rgsemary Moore, Bernadine Carrico.

Kenneth Wollerman The Future Farmers of America is a nationally known organization, intro- duced here in 1933. Its purpose is to teach boys leadership, co-operation, and salesmanship. An election is held each semester to give each boy a chance to become familiar with correct parliamentary procedure. During the meetings, talks are given by outside speakers and by the members. A Parent and Son Banquet, prepared by the club members, is held each year. Each boy earns credits by selling concessions at noon, after school, and at gamesp and these credits are used to pay his expenses on trips and for banquets. The club formed an advisory committee the first semester to aid in having a fair. It also held several parties for the Home Economics Club during the year, and had various contests such as oration, judging, and livestock shows. First Row: M. Trexler, D. Ierden, N. Williams, A.
