FOUNDATION TO QUIT

With the completion of the con-
struction of the Pierre S. DUPONT
High School in Wilmington and of
the Georgetown High School,
Georgetown, in September the
work of the Delaware School
Foundation will be completed and
it will pass out of existence, it was
learned this week. The closing of
the offices of the foundation in the
dupont Building will mark the COM
pletion of a 17-year school building
program for the State carried out
by Pierre S. DUPONT and which
brought Delaware's rating for ed
ucational facilities from thirty
second to tenth. One hundred and
Sixty-fve schools were built during
that time under the supervision of
the Delaware School Foundation or
its subsidiaries. Of this number
108 schools were built entirely of
funds provided by Mr.. DUPONT and
81 schools were constructed thru
assistance given the State by Mr.
DUPONT. The construction of the
schools represents an outlay of
funds totaling approximately S.
100000. The 108 schools which
were built of funds donated by Mr.
dupont include the Bayard School
and the Howard High School in
Wilmington, the Commodore Mac
Donough School at st. Georges and
a large number of smaller schools,
especially those for negroes, scat
tered throughout Kent and Sussex
counties. The Service Citizens
were organized by Mr.. DUPONT in
1918 to study the educational facil-
tiles of the State and DR.. Joseph H.
Odell was named president of the
organization. In 1919 the Della
ware School Auxiliary was formed
from the Service Citizens with the
intention of taking care of the con-
Struction of school buildings which
DR.. Odell and the Service Citizens
listed as needed. Finally in 1927
the Delaware School Foundation
was formed to take over the work
of the Delaware School Auxiliary
and DR.. Odell continued as presi-
dent of the new organization until
his death in September, 1929 AL
exander ]. Taylor. who had been
vice president, was elected presi-

Cow Tail Holder Shown

Los AngeleS.-And now the "cov

The cow tail holder was invented
by Albert Giese of Benton Harbor

switch at flies or just switch to be

Socks"

The newest fad. The boys are
going in for it: coming to school
without socks. Goodness, what
next?
We girls have heard SO much
about style and style copyers, but
just look at the boys. They laugh
ed when we went in for bangs, col
ored nail polish, and ankle sox.
They've gone one ahead of us now
because they don't wear any sox
To get ahead of them We'll have to
go barefooted. 1 have always
heard that style travels in a circle,
and in the last case it would mean
that we are now in the era which
our grandparents enjoyed.
This would be a blow to some
because they would have to wash
their feet every day, and maybe
more than once day at that. IT
would be blessing in some cases
All we hope is that we don't
have to go without shoes, because
we have just bought new ones for
our Washington Trip.

SMOOTH AIR WORK"
By Jack Mitchell

nDASHFUL BEN" MAYFIELD
ID determined for the hundredth
time to tell Wilma that he loved
her. Furthermore, with an increased
salary cinched, he'd ask her to mar
ry him. Bravely he stepped from
the stag line, tall bronZed figure
quite handsome in a tuxedo. He
tagged the beautiful blond Wilma.
wilma, I've something to tell
you," he blurted.
"a confession, Don JuanT Wilma
asked.
"Bashful Bens'' heart sank and
his confidence vanished. The same
thing had happened many times be-
fore. "N-no," he stammered. i
want to tell you that I-I-have
some more old clothes for the Jun
ior League shop"
Wilma rested her head against his
shoulder. He hoped she wasn't re-
pressing a snicker. Thanks, Ben.
We need them. You'd be surprised
at the people who are destitute"
Ben continued dancing without
conversation but creditably.
Next morning the factory superin-
tendent greeted Ben as he entered
the locker room at the field. NO
planes to test today, Bashful. The
old man wants you to go over to
the school and check out a limited
commercial candidate"
Ben's usually pleasant disposition
seemed to vanish. whats Maiden
getting by with?" he growled. I'm
supposed to be a test pilot, not a
students nursemaid." Beneath Ben's
irritation lay terrifying fear. VIII
ma was a limited candidate in the
Arcway Flying school.
1.-The old man thought it would
be a good idea for you to do little
instructing before you take over the
Notion branch. You might build up
a school over there"
who's the student?" Ben tried to
keep his voice firm.
"Some debutante. Maybe you
know her, but remember, no favor
itism," the factory superintendent
warned.
"What plane?' Ben growled.
"Check plane two. The low wing"
In Ben's mind there formed des-
perate plan. He had to incapacitate
check plane two till Maiden finished
checking those transport candidates.
Then he could get Maiden to check
Wilma. "Some cotton in the carbure-
tor jets would keep the plane on the
ground long enough" Ben decided.
He entered the hangar and ap-
preached check plane two. His heart
did a power dive as he saw me-
chanic bob up from the motor cowl-
ing. "Mornin', Mr.. Mayfield. | had
to come out early to check up on
this timer. She was missin' a little
when they brought her in yester-
day. Everything will be o. X. by
the time the students get here"
There was nothing to do except
wait.
Finally Wilma drove up. He was
right, he thought bitterly, watching
her putting a gosport helmet over
her golden hair. But he was puz-
zled by the gosport. He hadn't
known that the school used them on
advanced check hops.
Suddenly the full one way speak
ing tube possibilities of the gosport
occurred to him.
Ben pulled his tinted goggles over
his eyes and his parachute-silk neck
erchief up over his mouth.
While the mechanics were un-
checking wheels, Ben, pitching his
voice as low as he could, said
through the tube:- Take off and
climb to three thousand. Fly to Dur
berry, doing S-turns on the way.

Visiting Day

Each year there is one day set
aside at the end of the year for the
parents to visit the school. Each
room is decorated with flowers and
booklets that the students have
made during the year. Tea is
served by the Home Economics de
partment to the parents. How the
students wish they were in on that
Last week all students were pre-
pairing for this day and racking
their brains trying to think up
some unique project to make.
However, they are glad when Fri
day comes, since they are out of

Most Important Factors Pertaining
to Our Washington Trip.

May twenty-third, twenty-fourth
and twenty-ffth, 1885, have come
and have gone. The most enjoy
able three days I think our class
has ever spent together
Not only the thrill of going to
Washington, D. c., filled every soul
but the uniqueness of going by
train which no class has done from
Smyrna High before.
Aside from these two factors, the
third on paper but first in import
ance was the luckines of our class
of being chaperoned by Miss
Kinsman" and "Mr. Schantz," two
of the best think we could find
any where
think these three things will
show any one that we must have
had wonderful trip.
Rosie Darrell.
Trying hard to keep up the ira
dition of other previous classes to
have an interesting and excellent
class night, we the Seniors of '35
are devoting most of our time to-
ward these plans. Now we have
an excuse for not handing in our
customary good work. We are un-
der a severe strain-that of writ
ing a class history, prophecy, class
songs, class grumble. Moreover,
we have not quite recovered from
the Washington trip How in the
world can the dear teachers expect
us to carry on? The one consola-
tion that we have left is that soon
the exams will be over and we
shall be free that is we hope to
be.
Our efforts you will see when you
attend the exercises on class night,
June 10th.
