S-I PRINCE OF PEACE CONTESTENTS Standing: Robert Sprink, Lois Reed, Margaret Studer. Sitting: Bessie Vollmar, Kathryn Sprink. THE PRINCE OF PEACE PROCLAMATION CONTEST Not only is Public Speaking taught at Whitehouse, but also the students go forward in oratorial activities outside of school to prove that they can ably represent the school along this line. Never before has Whitehouse shown such enthusiasm as was shown this year in the Prince of Peace Contest and never before has a student of our school come through with such llying colors as did Margaret-Studer, a Junior, who not only won the local contest, but also took first place in the Lucas County Contest, and went on to even greater achievement. After Margaret had received her second medal, she competed against a large group of talented students in the Northwestern Ohio District Contest and starred above them all by winning first place. Margaret Studer has proved to us that perfection is attain- able through persistent elfort. Our hats are off to you, Margaret, and it is our hope that Whitehouse will continue to tum out orators like you. We can be proud of our whole group of contestants, Roberta Sprink and Lois Reed, who won second and third place in the local contest and Bessie Vollmar who also gave good proclamations.

After the summer's vacation, we located and polished our homs, practiced a few scales, gathered together our music ,and met early in September for our first band rehearsal of the year. Although our group was small, we tried hard to improve ourselves individually as well as to learn to play well together. By the end of the year, the group felt duly proud to have accomplished this good. Our plans are to build a larger organization and a well-balanced band. We played for various occasions throughout the year, the most important being our Spring Concert in conjunction with the Toy Band May 1. One of our valuahle.members, Bessie Vollmar, will be lost by graduation. .

.wnmmr f LIBRARIANS ' As I entered the doorway of the study hall, I noticed the students were as .quiet as mice, except for the people going toward the 'rear offthe room. Where were they going? Why, to the library, of course. I sat where I was prettyfwell concealed 'and then said to myself, I'll see just what goes on in here. Oh! There goes a student, my first victim. He now stands before the librarian. Shl I .want to hear what he has to say. I would like a Chemistry book by Black and Davis, please. The 'librarian took only a few seconds to get the book. She handed the boy a slip lofmr to sign, and then removed the card from the book. A complete llle ls kept of all leaving the library. As I was about to leave, I ran into a young lady. I smiled and said, I beg your pardon. She stopped to talk a few minutes and I found out that she was -Miss Harriet McKnight, the chief engineer of ithe library. She explained how proud she was of the library and of those who helped to make it what it is. Let Me Remember Beauty The tender curve of little moons, A Bock of birds against the blue, The Game of peach trees in the Spring, The monntain's far extended view. The gracious smile, the gentle word, The kindly action-let these be Within my heart a well of joy Symbolic of LIFE'S harmony.
