Guidance Uflice NE of the first ofhces the sophomores visit is Mr. Ege's. They stand in long, stragf gling lines outside his door waiting to have the mysteries of their schedules explained. Here they wait in line again in their junior year for Mr. Ege to approve their choices of courses. Here the intelligence tests of the sophomores and seniors are Hled away in the forbidden recesses of the lwrown filing chest. Toward the end of their last year, hordes of seniors come here to leaf through the numerous catalogues which represent almost every American college in existence. Mr. Ege helps them to decide on their college hy outlining the opportunities each one presents. Here the scholarshipfseekers come for advice toward realizing their desires. Here, as hir as scholastic achievement is concerned, is guidance to the n ' degree. My an Qu' ance . ais- MR. EDWARD F. EGE Guidance Counselor O 0 Miss Sacher, clerk . . .

The table is adorned with the choicest flowers of the English tongue and to it are brought the finest foods that England and America have to offer. There is somethin to suit ever g Y taste: hearty dishes that make good red English blood, delicate morsels and tempting bits for more jaded appetites, and all spiced with many a witty phrase. The first course consists of a generous helping of Shakespeare. Following this ancient English dish come servings of Scott and Eliot. The clever and original garnishes bring much comment and serve to put everyone in a happy mood. With the next course comes another Shakesperean dish, one that should be familiar to everyones- julius Caesar. Then, too, there are tempting myth' salads known to the Greeks and seasoned with the oils and spices of Rome. As no dinner would be ll17lI O 0 O complete without some distinctly American dishes, we find many that delighted the early colonists and some prepared from recipes handed down from the great patriots Washington, Webster, and Lincoln. Others are as modern as our own time and for these we must thank Sandburg, Benet, Millay, and some of our newer friends. The concluding course brings to the festive board choice desserts made Rimous by the great chefs Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Addison. These always find favor no matter how frequently they are served, and provide a perfect finish to a splendid repast. We rise to the toast, 'iMay our mental shadows never grow less. As the feast progresses, everyone gets better acquainted, tongues are loosened, and even the most reserved forget themselves and delight us with their own clever stories and poems. So the hungry are satisfied.
