Margaret Pool STAFF GENE EDmatoN Editor-in-Chief ANNIE LEE MAHLER Associate Editor MARY ANN BAttARD Associate Editor BrtxiE TURNER PHUtiP PEDNEAtr Sport Writers The Press Club is cdmposed of the following: Mary Keck, Sunshine Taylor Elizabeth Bostic, Gertrude Stamper, Majorie Hight, Exelyn Williamson, Violet Bean, Maxine Allen, Helen Hamilton, Pauline Ssheppler, Elizabeth McElroy, Gussie Duvall, Junatia Hendricks. Class secretary, secretary to the Activity Council and honor graduate, Margaret Pool has been for four years a "pillar of the school." She served as one of the stage managers for the Senior play, she had complete charge of the ticket sale; she was one of the two in charge of arrangements for the Junior-Senior picnic. In fact, when work has been needed, when brains and accuracy have been needed, Margaret has been called upon. And the job has always been done, quietly, efficiently, promptly, that's but confident, unofficous but willing, quiet but capable. Beth Ray Speck Bright-eyed, freckled-faced, gay little Beth Ray Speck will be one of the most missed of all the Seniors, for her rippling, silver laugh has rung through the halls into the of the student body and the teachers for four years.

"Need a sign painted?" call Beth "Need an artistic piece of designing?" see Beth Ray. "Need an idea that's absolutely original?" Beth Ray can spring it. She can act, she can sing, she can dance, she can draw, and most of all she can "steal your heart away." Elizabeth McElroy Last of the Seniors to be discussed is the valedictorian, Elizabeth McElroy, who is being graduated with an average of 92 for the four years. Elizabeth held second honors when the class left grammar school. She has climbed one more rung and now holds first place.

Mental alertness, efficiency and absolute reliability are the qualities which have brought Elizabeth to her present position. Her pet peeve, we understand is English. Her likes and interests are many and varied. MOTH PROOF STORAGE When having your Winter Clothes Cleaned to put away ask about our Moth-Proof Bags, and play Safety First.

OU WILL not have to "ring" the operator when your new telephone system is in service. The instant you lift your receiver, a light flashes on the switchboard and an operator answers.

When you are through talking, merely replace the receiver and the light again comes on to signal the operator that your line is ready for another call. You will not have to "ring off." The light signals will help make your service faster, more convenient, and more accurate. The central or "common" battery system eliminates the need for batteries in your telephone instrument and insures uniform power at all times. To bring you this new service we will have a new switchboard manufactured to meet present and future needs here, test outside lines and cables, and install new telephones for every telephone user in the city. ONTHS will be required to plan, manufacture, and install your new system.

Behind the scenes, engineers plan the system at their, drawing boards, telephone craftsmen carefully construct and wire your new "Tailor- made" switchboard, others plan and coordinate the installation. The latest developments in telephone science, the best materials, and the finest workmanship will be combined to make your new telephone system the best available for cities of this size.
