They left Leslie at 12:10 and arrived at the high school about 12:30. On arriving at the high school they went Immediately to the cafe teria where they ate their lunch. When the classes took up for the remainder of the afternoon the Streaks were ushered Into the audi torium where they were assigned to their guides. There were six groups three of boys and three of girls which were given a guide, each a senior hieh school honor student. The president of the auditorium told them all about what Is presented In the auditorium. He also told how the auditorium was divided into dif ferent sections. After dividing into separate groups they began their tour around the building. Each group visited different parts of the building Instead of all going to the same rooms at the same time. Some of the places visited were the library, machine shop, vocation al agriculture department, wood working, blue printing, boiler room, gym, ASB office, science, and the cafeteria classes. They also noticed the trophies that were In the casej along the halls. In many of the rooms the instruc tors told what their pupils were do ing and many of the students gave demonstrations. As they went through the wood working classes they saw the tables, cupboards, and the games they were making. One boy was making fancy legs for the table he was making. The Instructor of this class Informed them that he had one girl enrolled In his classes. They were then taken Into the room where they were making blue prints. Here one of the boys demon strated how they made the blue prints by the means of a new ma chine that had been Installed a few weeks ago. To the girls the cafe teria and the home economics class es were more Interesting than the shops. In the girls' gym they were learning a new dance. Streaks who went included Doris Tull, Lois Barrick, Lois Martin, Iva Mae Durkee, Ruth Douglas, Phyllis Eaton, Pat Maurer, Doris Pinneo, Donald Unruh, Delores Dougherty, Katherlne Thompson, Bud Weddle. Bob Olson, Newell Williams, Glen Brown, Eddie Applegate, Robert Herrlngton, Bobby Banks, Clifford Duval, Mary Lou McKay, Betty Zo Allen, Sara Ann Ohllng and Rose mary Desha. There were many other Streaks besides the ones mentioned who went boys especially. The student leader for this group Is Bob Olson and the teacher leader was Mrs Hanna. The chaperones were Mrs. Hanna, Mr. Sargeant and Mr. Swan son. Proper Grooming Subject of Study Miss Brandon's eighth and ninth grade Home Economics classes at Parrish are studying many things under the topic of grooming. One of the most interesting lessons has been In regard to the proper care of the nails. Each girl was taught how to manicure her nails, and proper care of the cuticle was stressed. Also the girls learned that the brighter shades in nail polish are not appropriate for school. Under this same topic of groom ing came a discussion of care of the clothes. Personal neatness and cleanliness were admitted to be of utmost Importance. Sweaters are very popular among the students, and a lesson was presented on how to launder them.

' i 9 9 MI snN 9 9 o o David Stover Doing Well Bav District Sometimes public attention Is drawn to the outstanding work of a particular young man or woman and Parrish junior high school is very proud when such recognition Is given one of its alumni. In the March Issue of "The Amer ican Home" there is an outstanding article about a former Parrish stu dent, Ira David Stover, whose suc- story is one that any boy might envy. Perhaps there Is an added reason for Parrish to be proud of the accomplishments of Mr. Stover, since he is the brother of Miss Ruth Stover, school secre tary. While attending Parrish, Ira worked during his spare time for Mr. Gilbert of the Gilbert Art Stu dio. At that time he showed un usual Interest and ability In art. Later he received advanced train ing in San Francisco which formed valuable background for the work In photography which he now does. Today Ira David Stover is a part ner In the well-known Roger Stur- tevant studio of commercial photog raphy In San Francisco. In con nection with this work he has made many pictures for various firms, a number of which have appeared in well-known magazines. This particular article In "The American Home" magazine is writ ten by the partner, Roger Sturte- vant, and is a delightful account of their building a weekend home in the Valley of the Moon, near the old Jack London ranch, 55 miles north of San Fanclsco. Both men. harried by the constant demands on their time, which made it nec essary that their living and work ing space should coincide, decided that two days a week in the coun try would balance their lives, Accordingly they purchased 80 acres of wild precipitous forest land which lay at the bottom of a steep canyon, half a mile from the nearest country road. How these two young men built their own road, and completed the first unit of their stone home, and did the fin ishing and furnishing of their llv-1 lng room with their own hands, entirely on weekends, over a period of several years, makes a most In teresting story, particularly so, ac cording to the partners, "we did not know how to construct a road, build a masonry house, or design a fireplace, yet we built them all and they work." Movie Picture Bill Subject for PTA The February meeting of Leslie Parent-Teacher association will be held Wednesday, February 21, In the school lunch room. Mrs. Turnbull will present infor mation on the motion picture bill now before congress. The main topic will be the seventh grade "home room plan," a plan that allows the seventh grade pupils to have their English, social science and mathematics under one teacher. Tills work takes half the school day and Is done in one room. The five home room groups are taught by Miss McAdams, Mrs. El kins and Mr. Davis. Brief reports of results will be fol lowed by open discussion of the problems of pupils during their first year In junior high school the change from one teacher to several, the complex program as compared to the simple one, and the change from a small school to a large one. Ivanhoe Presented By English Class Doris Jean Cutler and Janrose Wimer, students in Mrs. Emerson's English class at Parrish, decided to make Ivanhoe more interesting by writing a play based upon the story, which they had just completed, During the class period on Thurs day the parts were handed out to different members of the class and were read in a very realistic man ner. Scenes like that of the tourna ment were of necessity interpreted by a reader, but those requiring less action were ably portrayed, with little help from the Imagination Snicker Snack Work Progressing Well As the date for the Parrish Snicker Snack draws nearer, there are many busy hands helping to make it a bigger and better program than ever. All of the ninth graders are 1 helping by bringing the material Point System Has Devotees Ninth grade girls in Parrish physi cal education classes are now work ing on tumbling aiid stunts and self testing activities to earn points on the Oregon high school point sys tem.

Cafeteria Has Busy January The month of January was an exceedingly busy one for Parrish high's cafeteria, according to Mrs, Cavender. It has been the biggest business month so far in the school year. More and more of the students of Parrish have been availing them selves of the opportunity to eat a good lunch In the cafeteria. As many as 7827 students and teachers were served in January. It Is in teresting to note that 2300 hamburg were served, 900 hot dogs and 1000 plate lunches. Also they used 31 gallons of relish and 6 gallons of mustard. The cafeteria feels very fortu nate that it now has enough equip ment to adequately serve Its large number of patrons. It is particular ly pleased with the new silverware just purchased, enough to replace half of the old silverware, and hopes to be able to replace the other half next year. Mrs. Simms Back After Illness Parrish is happy to welcome Mrs. Simms, member of the English de partment, upon her return to classes after an illness of several weeks, due to an accident.

W L ,1 ( I 'III tr J I VJw EE J "On the STANOARO CHASSIS AND tODY MOD! 15 ON 17 Germs Studied By Parrish Science Group Miss Wlenman's ninth grade science class at Parrish is making an extensive study of germs. The first stage of the experimeni was complete when a mixture of chemicals was set up to Jell. After setting for 24 hours, the mlxtur was ready. Some germs were trans planted onto the jelly to form col onies. It takes about three days for these germ colonies to form. After they are formed they can ba seen with a microscope under th right conditions. Friday morning the colonies had "set." When plac ed under the microscope they could not be seen, because of lack of color. Monday a bit of iodine was added- to increase the color. Not much was evident but the colonies themselves showed up quite vividly. There have been seven kinds of germs transplanted. They were taken from a doorknob, a drink ing fountain, a math book, a comb, a person's breath and many other things. The science classes have been working with the microscopes for about a week. As part of the equip ment they have some slides which show dog's hair, wool, onion skin, etc. The microscopes, which havt two lenses, cost about $80 apiece. They were made In Germany. The pupils find it very interest ing to look through these and study skin cells, pores, tissues and other things pertaining to science study. A!
