Agriculture Attendance Office Sewing Dick Lindstaedt, Millard Harmon and Bob VanBuren are conducting an experiment in agriculture chemistry class. It looks most serious and masculine, but these boys know more than agriculture chemistry for they were among those boys who exchanged classes with the home economics girls and learned something of foods and nutrition too. They should know, not only what makes things grow, but what to do with the vegetables and other products after they have been success- fully cultivated. Dorothy Reynolds and Ruth Whitson are working on records in the school attendance office. The office is organized on a cooperative basis with about seventeen student assistants. These students have a variety of duties including filing, typing, recording, operating duplicating machines, collecting and delivering daily and weekly attendan ce forms, and answering the office telephone. Ruth Weise does machine stitching while Eleanor Bode fits a dress to the model in advanced clothing class. Sewing students have good equipment and make a variety of garments in the clothing laboratory. They learn to make suits and dresses, and to alter and select ready- made garments.

Rowing for we have some of it right here at Warren. We asked Fred John- son to show us how he gets a work out on the rowing ma- chine. From the looks of those muscles it is well he takes care of his excess energy there. Bob Applegate? He was in the pic- ture when it was taken. Doris Phillips, Willard Ashe, and Betty Jane West are making use of library facilities to find materials for their English themes. Bibliographies, foot- notes, and outlines are no snap even if you forget about the 1000 word composition. Joe Rejko, Bill Roberts and Wil- fred Bevis worked industriously for the duration — of the picture, no guarantees given for the past or future. However we have heard of some well-built equip- ment they’ve helped make. Romilda Schreiber, Mary Wonnell and Don Frakes en- joyed every minute of art class and always insist that it was the shortest period of the day. Research Shop

ECONOMICS Unless you can supply a new set of adjectives we cannot tell you about this next picture. We do not understand it but in chem- istry lab they can make more atro- cious odors and figure out bigger names to call them than any place we’ve seen yet. What Martha De- maree, John Bowman and Mary Ann Piel are really doing is something called “qualitative analysis of metalic compounds with EUS to get precipi- tates of metalic sulfides.” Economics is one subject which all seniors are required to take. It helps to give them (us) a background of current economic problems and aids in making them (us) more intelligent newspaper readers. We did charts, chapters, and papers. Mary Ruth Hanes, Jean Witte, and Anna Soshey are shown inspecting a sample graph which appeared on the blackboard. PRINTING Charles Chasteen, Aaron Mattox, and Ray Bechold are busily pondering over problems in print shop. We don’t know what it is all about but Ray certainly has a scowl on his face, must be something serious. LIBRARY Mary Jane Weishaar and Kathleen Spall patiently await the ringing of the bell. But don’t let their placid expressions fool yon; they have just agreed it would be more fun to let the bell awaken Nettie Mae Hobart from her slumbers than to awaken her themselves. If a girl has her lessons finished, can’t she relax once in a while? . . . (Attention Underclass- men : This activity does not meet with faculty approval.) CHEMISTRY
