MAX FACTOR PRODUCT
HOLDS FASCINATION FOR
WOULD-BE-HEROES: The dra
matic class listened and observed
■with mild attention the demonstra
tion and lecture on old age make
up. When the teacher produced a
small bottle of Black Tooth
Enamel, however, enthusiasm flam
ed among the students. Indeed,
this product that is used to black
teeth out appealed so strongly to
these would-be make-up artists that
Miss Nye was met with requests on
every hand for application of the
“black magic.” Kenneth Miller of
fered a penny for an application,
while Terry Mills confessed that he
wanted to inform his mother that
he had met with an accident play
ing football.
THE HALF-HOLIDAY FOR THE
FAIR was a great success in every
one’s opinion. Everywhere one
turned there were students. The 1
faculty, however, practically mo
nopolized the Midway on Wednes
day night. The “gallery” follow
ing them were particularly amused I
by the sight of Mr. Canipe folding
his legs up to get into a scooter-
car and Mr. Gehring playing cow
boy on the hobby-horses and stag
ing a daring rescue of Miss Cocker-
OVERHEARD; One day as the j
biology class listened to a discus
sion on snakes by Miss Moore, she [
asked if anyone was afraid of |
Grady Hearne said, “I am not
afraid of but two kinds.”
“What kinds?” asked Miss
Moore. i
“Big ones and little ones,” an
swered Grady. j
Calvin Doby: “I was late fori
dinner the other day and they I
saved the tenderest piece of
chicken for me.”
Bill Hough: “Which piece was
that?”
Calvin Doby: “The gravy!”
Bill Hough: “Once there were
two Irishmen—and now there are
lots of ’em.”
ABOUT CLASSES: A coincidence
occurred the other day in a certain
class. The teacher was explaining
some questions concerning an ar
ticle on forest fires. Just as she
finished saying the word “fire,” the
class was startled into silence as
the fire whistle blew. Quite a
timely interruption.
Our students seem dramatic-
minded. In the three Dramatic
Clubs there are one hundred and
fifty-one members.
FROM A CHAPEL TALK: “
kingdom of heaven is in what you
think, in what you do, in the valua
tion you place on your
and the valuation you pla
lives of others.”
ABOUT STUDENTS: It seems
that the students with classes on
the west side of the building have
developed a new hobby. Several
of the girls began winking at the
passers-by, especially the gentle
men. The other day a man passed
by, and Kathleen Russell gave the
usual wink. To her surprise the
gentleman was none other than
Mr. Gibson!

Each Rooni Will
Have Reception
Auditorium to Be Amplified.
The announcement has been
made from the office of the super
intendent that a complete sound
system for the high school vdll'be
installed within a few weeks. The
proposed equipment will allow the
principal to address each room
either separately or collectively
and will permit the teachers to
speak to the principal from the
classrooms. It will also provide
for radio programs to each room.
Programs from the auditorium
may be broadcast to the various
rooms. Provisions will be made
for amplification of the program
within the auditorium. This will
overcome the difficulty that people
in the back of the auditorium have
had in hearing the programs.
The system will be the modem
Stromberg Electric Company’s
latest production. A cabinet of
pleasing appearance will be located
in the principal’s office and will
contain a radio tuner, amplifier
and a phonograph turntable. The
'all speakers located in the various
class rooms will be of an attrac-
‘ 7S modernistic design.
The installation of this system
will add much to the effectiveness
of the school. From the standpoint
of announcements much time will
.ved, and there will naturally
minimum of interruptions of
class work.
This radio feature will be in
valuable in the teaching of history,
civics, and music appreciation. Too,
it will stimulate interest in school
work and further the high school
students’ capability in their quest
for knowledge.

School Makes
Improvements
New Cement Walks Laid;
Home Ec Department to
Have Kitchen Units.
Numerous improvements have
been made on the school building
and grounds during the summer
and early fall.
The old sidewalk in front of the
building has been replaced by a
new one, while a new walk has
been laid adjoining the front one,
running from Third to Fourth
Streets. Mr. Gibson stated that a
new walk will soon be laid from
the front sidewalk to the south
end of the building.
Kitchen Units Installed.
In the Home Economics Depart
ment the old form of cooking lab
oratory will be changed into a
modern unit kitchen. Each unit
will be made into a small kitchen
such as you will find in the aver
age home, a different type of
equipment being used in each. In
this way each group, consisting of
four girls, will have experience in
using the best inexpensive utensils.
Mrs. Troxler Teaching.
Because of the growth of the
Home Economics Department, Mrs.
Lloyd Troxler comes in every day
to teach one class in home eco
nomics. This leaves Miss Bell, the
regular home economics teacher,
free to check on the projects which
she stresses in teaching vocational
home economics.
