Clean-Up Campaign Invades
Classrooms of Senior High
M'itli the advent of ('lean-up AVeek
i-eceiLtly,..G. H. S,-ers really devolopod a
techni(iiie fer window-washing, eraser-
cleaning. and blackboard - scrubbing.
Not content with seeing lier pupils be
come well versed in these homely arts,
i\Uss (.'ausey, desiring to be ’■different,”
no doubt, marshalled the forces of one
of her English classes, and lo and be
hold. even the downstairs hall of the
Main building had to he scriibbed I
Long-suffering students mounted step-
laUlers. for not even a trace cf dust
could be allowf'd to remain intact on
top of a window sill, or blackgoard.
('akes cf "Bon Ami" and blue bottles
of "'Wiiidex" were supplied to help the
stiuhuit ‘‘un-hired hands" in .some ca.sos,
but good old fashioned soap and water
had to sullice for others,
Not even the womlwork and walls of
the rooms t^scaped this zealous clean
ing but became a eream-eolor once
again after having a heavy coat of
autographs and marks made l)y the
rubber heels of many a "scufiling” cul
prit removed. Blackboards lost their
familiar sickly greyish hue, and ap
peared ill all the shiny glory of a new
patent - leather shoe — wonderful mir-
ror.s—the girls found !
Still, the greatest wonder to bo seen
in the many results of this vigorous
Clenp-up campaign was the windows!
Now .sparkling- like diumond.s minus a
long accumulation of dirt, students are
constantly surprised by seeing blue
skies and sunshine when they gaze out
of doors, whereas before, ^eveii the
brightest days had appeared cloudy
from inside the room.s.
However nice the after effects of
spring-cleaning appeared on the school
itself. tlK' very opposite effects were
feund on those who contrihnted to its
sn-cess. Dirty faces, hands and clothes
could he washed always; broken finger
nails, would grow out and chipped nail
polish could be replenished; but how
are the hoys going to live down the
uiiiiiisTakable piiiknew of “dish-pan
hands'.'"—that is the questiim!

Lazy John
or
No Work Blues
Vote for IRWIN SMALI WOOD
for vice-president.— (adv.).
The foui'-day Easter holidays cre
ated contrasting reactions to John and
Doris Student.
Feeling that it was at la.st his turn
to play a part in our war effort and
at the same time “get some easy cash
cu tlie side," John marches prcmdly
up town, fer of all things, to get a
job. If it were not for the fact that
our John was a ‘-Imm,” he would bo
worlcing.
But alas! He storms into Boyd’s
and demands that he bo allowed to
sell shoes. When told that ho know
nothing about tlie work, he began to
cry and ran out the door.
You can guess the rest. He not only
could not touch liis Fa.sler dinner, but
he had to decline that wonderful dance
bid with Doris.
AVhat John to this day can not under
stand is why Doris not only nianngi'd
to eat a hearty Easter dinner but
managed to have three dates on the
side.
‘•When I consider how my life is
spent. . thought John, “mayho I
should not be so lazy and irritable.”
Allred, Smallwood Namel
Jim Allred edged out Irwin Small
wood in the second balloting for nom
ination for vice-president of the coun
cil, hut Smallwood came back in the
third vote and was also nominated
for the same office.
Nomination speakers for vice-presi
dential candidates included Ed Mabry
speaking for Jim Allred, Helen Paige
Dees for Irwin Smallwood, .Jean For
tune for T^aurena Booker, and Virginia
Peoples for Rita Pearl.
Since Pete ililler and G(M)rge Bryant
were the only two candidates who
made application for traffic chief, they
were formally nominated on one ballot.
The same was true of Allene Parks
and Doris Vereen, who were chosen to
i-un for president of the senior class.
Cloninger. Hornaday Advanced
Richard Hornaday won a slim ma
jority over Mege Cloninger, who was
nominated after him for vice-president
of the senior class.
In an extremely close balloting which
was decided only by the reconsidering
of a vote in favor of Sue Brooks, the
(‘andidate for secretary of the senior
class was advanced in the race followed
by Mary Gleiidening on the fourth bal-

Quill, Scroll Inilialion
To Be Held in May
(iuill and Scroll, journalistic honor
society, will hold its initiation some
time in Jlay, although the date has
not been (lefinilely set.
The candidates have submitted sam
ples of their work to the t)uill and
Scroll heachpiurters in Chicago, but
no report from these has been received.
(juill and Scroll stands for the high
est in journalistic and creative writ
ing ability, although a person does not
have to he a member of the journalism
•la.ss to belong to it. A member must
be able to write well and correctly.
(juill and Scroll not only stands for
the highest in writing ability but also
for character and scholarship. A mem
ber must be in the upper third of his
class scholastically and must not have
average ‘‘F'’ on a subject. He must
have been na-ommended by some t{‘ach-
u- in the Englisli field and be voteil
on by the members of the club.
It has proven incr(‘asingly difficult
for tlie club to .hold it.s meetings be
cause there is no club i)(u-io(I this
year and it is impossible for many of
the meml)ers to nunain after school.
The past meeting was held, and the
future ones will be held at the homes
of members of the group.
The oflu'ers of the clnh, (he O. Henry
cliapter. are: president, Margaret Dan-
