Design changes, including a re-
styling of the sheet metal and the
adoption of a coupe type cab with
solid steel top, have enhanced the
appearance of the 1886 models.
In the chassis, the most note
worthy development is the adoption
of hydraulic brake operation in con-
junction with improved brake mech
anisms at the wheels.
Engine improvements include in
creased power, better fuel and oil
economy, and greater durability.
The major change in the engine is
the use of full length water jackets,
in combination with higher COM
preston ratio C to -.
The u ton chassis now has a full
floating rear axle, with a stronger
housing that includes a malleable
iron differential case and seamless
steel axle tubes. Rear axle loads
are carried ON the housing, instead of
on the axle shafts, which now have
only to drive the wheels.
Passenger car comfort for the
truck driver is offered in the new
coupe type cab, which presents a
streamline appearance and reduced
overall height in an all-steel struc-
ture having a one-piece solid steel
top.
In changing to hydraulic brakes
on both chassis models, Chevrolet
has adopted this principle of brake
actuation to it's own design of brake
mechanism within the brake drums
A hydraulic cylinder with double OPP
posed pistons is used to actuate each
pair of articulated brake shoes. The
master cylinder is mounted on the
frame in the " ton model, and on
the clutch housing of the half-ton.
The hand brake lever actuates
both service brake shoes in each rear
wheel. The connection is by flexible
cable, attached to lever and toggle
mechanism within the rear brake
drums.
Engines Of the two chassis models
are identical in design and in horse
power and torque. Maximum horse
power is 72 at S20Or. p. m. Maxi
mum torque is obtained over an I'M
usually wide range of engine speeds.

The School Orchestra

Our school orchestra, under the
direction of Mr.. Harry Rinehar:, is
making rapid progress. The mem
bers have purchased new books and
are able to play several numbers
we'll.
On Thursday, January 2, due to
bad weather conditions, Mr.. Rinehart
was unable to come to the orchestra
rehearsal. The absence of Mr.. Rine-
hart gave the members time to or
ganize and elect officers. Paul Gray
beal was elected president and Alfred
Gyles secretary and treasurer. Some
of the bushes taken up was that of
payment of dues. A definite amount
was not decided upon but it will
probably be five or ten cents weekly.
Mr.. Rinehart has been very faith
full in coming every week to instruct
the orchestra, without charging
them anything. To show their ap-
probation of this the orchestra gave
him a Christmas gift of five dollars.

Reports

The reports for the November
December period were issued Thurs
day, January 8. This time there
we're fifty subject failures, which was
less than the previous time.
Several things are being done by
the faculty to lessen these failures.
The teachers are making reports Of
student failures to the principal
every two weeks. The principal re-
ports these failures to the students
and letters are sent to the parents,
so that they will understand the
causes of these failures.
Good grades are very important in
considering college entrance. A stu
dent must have 500 AS and BIS
with no DIS or Els for the last two
years in high school to enter college.
The marking system used in our
school is as follows:
A indicates superior work.
B indicates work is above average.
G indicates average work.
D indicates work Is below average.
E indicates failure.

For four years we have had In our
high school what is known as the
Civic Club. The purpose of this club
Is to promote student government.
That is, to show the students what
responsibility they have toward their
school.
The Civic Club meets for an hour
every Monday at alternating periods.
The members of the club are elected
by each class. Three representatives
from the Junior and Senior classes;
two Representatives from the Fresh
men and Sophomore classes and one
representative from the Seventh
Grade. The officers of the Civic
Club are as follows President, AL
fred Gyles; Vice President, Catherine
Keilholtz; Secretary, Lila Todd.
The most important work of the
Club is to appoint monitors to differ
monitors are not to make the stu
dents go around in perfect order, as
is sometimes thought; but to see
that they don't go running through
the corridors and down the steps, or
that they do not loiter in the halls
and locker rooms.
This year the Civic Club has pur-
chased pins that are given to the
monitors while they are on duty.
These pins make the monitors feel
that they are really holding posi-
ton of responsibility. The monitor
system is working quite we'll and we
are hoping that the teachers and stu
dents will continue to cooperate in
making the Civic Club this year, a
bigger success than ever before.

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

They are in Gods blessed keeping,
All our loved ones gone before;
Safe forever from harm and temptation,
On the happy golden shore.
They are in Gods blessed keeping,
In that land of perfect rest,
With the blood-washed throng in
Heaven,
The homeland of the blest.
They are in Gods blessed keeping,
Life's burdens all laid down,
And the crosses sometimes heavy,
For bright and starry crown.
They are in Gods blessed keeping,
The toiling time all over and the
care.
They watch and wait our coming,
In that glad and Holy City over
there.
They are in Gods blessed keeping,
Every battle fought and won.
What glorious, happy meeting,
When our work on earth is done.
