Are we proud of our lounge? Are we anxious to keep it looking lixe a model lounge pictured in Vogue or Mademoiselle? Yes! Well then, let's all continue to try and do these following things: Eat in the cafeteria or the inn rather than the lounge. Use the floor on which to rest our feet rather than on the couch. Lounge any place other than on the arms of the chairs. Pick up articles when noticed on the floor. Use the waste basket for scraps of paper. And lastly, we all should be sure to leave the lounge as we find it a place to be proud of.

"Total enrollment for j the fall quarter, in both day and j 900," reported Mrs. Clarisse Hall, registrar. There are 350 in night school and 551 in the day school. This is an increase of 25 per cent over last year in both divisions. Night school increase is attributed to the addition o f women's classes in flower arrangement, interior decorating, and upholstering. Also, postwar necessity of workers to have additional training has boosted attendance in many of the departments.Classes in auto mechanics, office machines, and refrigeration have waiting lists. ( Business classes, typwriting and shorthand are also popular. In the next few months music, recreation, leadership, and income tax will be added. Compliments Of SMALLEY BROS.
