Tlie walls of lavatory rooms and halls were paint ed' and kalsomlncd, stairways were put in shape and a general clean-up was made.

Some of the students made exam ination of other schools to see how tlie problem was being met. Robert Jfqlm spent two days at Walla Walla. Mr. Blunt inspected Gartield and Spokane schools. Other students were elsewhere and found a serious prob lem involved that many schools had not been able to solve satisfactorily. It looks as though L. H. S. is one of the very few to meet and solve the problem. Mr. Gralapp asked that as a recognition of wliat the group had done so splendidly that activity point be given the seniors to count on Hi-Dad evaluation.
