bookkeepers. A scattering group came
 out for kindergarten teachers, domestic science, drawing, home economies
 playground supervisor, physical culture director and teacher of languages. One young woman's thoughts turn to home
 life and she records her intention of becoming housewife "a laudible am bftion in this and time when other activities detract from that vocation" One young man, though not admitting
 any intention of creating the impress sion that he is a skinner expresses
 the hope that he may have the oppor-
 tunity Of becoming a taxidermist. Two
 eluction teachers, a civic worker. a composer. an authoress, two medical missionaries, five aviation experts with lofty ideals, Y. NJ c. A., secretary. two florists, three radio operators, a woman store detective, two dramatists,
 professional reader, telephone oper-
 ator for future service, all rub elbows at the union high school.
 But the most interesting part of the whole table of answers is that per taining to the city, and the improve
 ments suggested for it, in one way or another. as being suitable projects for the chamber of commerce to endorse or inaugurate. That subject which appar- ently has been given most thought among the local student body is the educational situation, both -om a
 practical as well as instructive view point. Additional courses. nornel col lege, colleges, universities, etc, are suggested for Phoenix in order to ob- viate the necessity of the boys and girls going elsewhere to complete their edu- cations.
 That Phoenix should be a city of bet | ter and cleaner streets, and that the highways should be paved in every di- rection is the opinion expressed by a | large number There is also a strong demand for better sanitation laws, health measures and street car facfli- 1 ties- Parks, playgrounds, recreation centers, more flowers and shade trees,
 are suggested by a large group. The | trend of opinion among a large strag- gling crowd is in favor of a joint court house and city hall. Other improve ments deemed necessary and advisabls are: Increased hotel facilities, steps to encourage resumption of dairy indus
 try, crop diversification, better hous- 1 ing. entertainment for winter tourists. 1 publicity for the city advertising it's | advantages and attractiVeness to the world, encouraging right sort Of tourist ! travel, municipal museum and audito- rum, union railway station, more rail-

 Is safe guess to hazard that if they
 will peruse the questionnaires of the ! high school students they will find an
 abundance of splendid material and | suggestions. And while these sugges- ] tions are being put into execution the | membership will have the satisfaction
 of knowing that it is doing those things
 that will tend towards a happier and l more contented citizenship and bv
 working out the different improve ments, one by one. Phoenix will grow
 bigger buster and better. I thank won
