entirely uhlhout guijt although i be 1 iev you have a dual personality ijd note i had to correct this mr gilhooly spelled dual dnlj your judgment u not vhat it should be i think that the new bell system is the fir eat est thing since they in vented a salt shaker with no holes for people who do nbt like salt i am also in fapur of those lovely flower boxes at the entrance to the school and to m the idea of con true tins them from old unused coffins leemed very quaint the fact that the new ictiun of the school la of a different architecture from that of the old tt no caue for groans of disapproval in my mmd it is a iymbol that this learned building contains not only historical information but also prehistoric i believe our readers would also appreciate it if ou would refrain from casting unflattering remarks in the direction of the playing field just remrmbrr the spartans too re raided in mountainous tirrain any remark about the home econo mics class which contains even a hint of tare aim will go down in tny immk as jealous slander it is only proper that the girls should be taught what todo if the can opener should break down the fact thai the students make the school is unchallenged in my mind on a decent vist to the school the conduct of these same students was not at all what could be termed orderly at the sound of the last bell they charged into the hall and

hes back again to cause ntill more hilarious laughter since this is a thriller dillcr murder fctorj you might become quite exasperated at sergeant duffys dons lack of con ccrn but if jou are smarter youll enjoy the obuous humour another example of ghs talent which should never be forgotten is the work dono behind scenes of the play the plays success is greatly due to the props and setting some of the atmospheres necessary are quite difficult to produce there is always a perfect job done no matter how complicated tho problems of set ting bceome the peoplo responsible arc very modest and arc sitting be hind tho wings working the lights cutising the wind snow or whatever is needed but few people know that thoy are there tho two boys who represent this backstage talent are gerald scott and don souther aj the prompter certainly has to have talent in this line and holds a groat responsibility look in your com mencement programme when you como to sco who does this part of the presentation for ono of georgetowns highlights of 1055 attend the giis commence- ment in march 3 editorial suggest high school devotional periods some public schools have an idea which the high school system could draw on in many of the public schools devotional classes are held for the upper grade this practice cotddvery well be continued on in to the lower grade of high school it is a good time in the students life to continue thesa devotional periods thcre periods would provide an ex cellent base tor thft devotions life of all students after all school is primarily to teach students and religion is something that needs teaching today a great deal we feel sure that the clergymen pf our town would be glad to co operate in this plan if it was put into operation the periods could be diwdd amongst the different churches and turn attout classes could be held each week this plan ha worked succussfully in many pub lic schools with v ry nils factory re sults there is no reason why the practice could not be continued on into the lower grades of high school to hilp make sounder cliarr thinking studrnts with a limited staff and crowded turn tabl which is the case this year this would le
