In order to get to your class on time and avoid traffic jams, use the right We are now a member of the National Scholastic Press associa tion and are entitled to the use of the emblem pictured above. Have you noticed it? As a mem ber, The Full Moon will be en titled to the critical service of- ered by the N. S. P. A. and will be given a specific rating among school papers of the nation. Let’s be more earnest about fire drills. This is the only way for us to get training to be pre pared in case we do have a fire. We should remember that not one word is to be spoken and that we are to move fast, without pushing, going out the assigned exits. Last time it took the student almost two minutes to vacate the build ing. We can improve that speed. Let us cooperate in keeping down confusion and helping the drills to be carried out properly. Student Participation What do you think of student participation in our school? Don’ you think it would be an excel lent means for creating a demo cratic spirit among the students? Don’t you think it would tend to raise the rating and standard of our school in comparison to other ones of its size? This tyf>e of organization would not mean that the officers would control the school and punish the students for misbehaviors. Of the officers and four representatives from each class a council will be made up to lead the activities. There will probably be a large number of various committees carry on the extra functions of the school. The main factor in the success of this helpful organization operation. Students, it isn’ the faculty—it’s for you. That means that one of you is as equal ly qualified for working for it as another. The officers who serve will be the ones elected by you; therefore it’s your place to sup- poit them by your co-operation and willingness to help. There is reason why there should be the least bit of bitterness toward them, for their services will be for the best of the school and the the students. Prove your school spirit by ,’orking for it to make a success and by helping to raise our school standard. Our New Pictures With all the recent improve ments of our high school, nothing has done more to beautify our building than the attractive pic- we now have. We are very grateful to the senior class of 1937 for this gift. All the pictures, in natural colors, were painted by famous artists. They add a great deal of life and vividness to the study hall and classrooms. A greater ap preciation of art is naturally being developed among all students who e and enjoy these pictures daily. How many of them can you ime? Which particular one peals to you most? Let’s avail ourselves of every opportunity examine and enjoy them. 1 cause of the air of distinction they to our school, we should all acknowledge them with pride and gratitude. leave the rest t( CUPID.

If you like stories of the Far East, read Etsu Sugimoto’s, “A Daughter of the Samurai.” Bom and reared in the ancient and feudal system of Japan, little Etsu-bo early in her life rebels against the Japanese tradition that all women are inferior to men. After her marriage to a young Japanese merchant living in Amer- she moves to a small midwest- town where she finds condi tions so changed that she hardly knows what to say or do. The sud den death of her husband forces her to return to Japan, and the ancient rites which she has learn- 1° 'iislike so much.
