Dearest Hepzibah:

That last day of vacation when
you told me that ours was only a
summer romance and couldn't last,
| didn't believe you. However, it
seems that you were right as usual.
Although you are junior and |
am senior, we have seen very little
of each other for the past three
weeks. Huge homework assign
ments and over-bearing study-hall
teachers have steadily worked to
draw us farther and farther apart.
have thought and thought and
have finally evolved a plan to keep
the spark of love within us gently
smouldering until next summer
Let's you and | write each other
letters on alternate weeks. In this
way we at least will not completely
/ forget each other
! The seniors plan to install a
nickelodeon in the high school will
probably meet with little financial
success, If the machine proves to be
as economical to run as the one used
at the sophomore party.
| After viewing Betty Rubard's
black eye and damage done to vari-
GUS other members of the sophomore
class, | am beginning to wonder il
it weren't the. sophomores who were
being initiated last week.
Have you seen the new flag at
the front of the assembly? This is
just one of the many projects for
the improvement of our high school
being undertaken by the senior
class. This, as many other things
just goes to show that the senior
class is absolutely the finest class
in high school and has the finest
students in it. In case you have
not already guessed it, am sen
ior, SO | know the above facts te
be the gospel truth-so help me.

EVERY HOME IS BUILT
AROUND It's WINDOWS
Windows Determine Wall Spacc

Windows Determine Wall Spscc
Second, the arrangement Of your
rooms, the arrangement Of your fur
niture, is all done around the win
dows. Available wall space is largely
determined by windows. On the out
side the architectural harmony il
largely determined by the placing or
grouping OF windows.
Thus you see how important win
dows are just from appearance alone.
But appearance, important as 1t is, is
only half of the story.
Here are some of the other things
that a good window should do:
Keep cold air out. Keep warm air
in. Keep cool air in. Keep hot air out.
Keep insects out. Keep dirt and dust
out. Work freely under al conditions
without rafting. Provide ventilation
when open. Be watertight when
closed. Let light in. Give clear vision
out. Add beauty to your home. Har-
monte with your style OF architec-
ture.
No other architectural feature in 4
house must perform SO many func-
tions.

Underclass H0stilities Cease

On last Saturday night after
week of spirited freshman
initiation, the sophomore class play
ed host to their felloW-students at
their annual class party, which was
given in honor of the freshmen.
The main diversion of the evening
was dancing to the music Of the
Wurlitzer. To clinch their peace
treaty with the freshmen, the soph-
ignores presented each of the fresh
men with novelty favors. The party
was we'll attended, and, because of
the careful plans made by the sopho-
mores and the genuine enthusiasm
of the crowd, it was very successful.

Do You Know Fred
and Delbert HammOns?

Fred Hammons, the dark haired
boy whom most of us have noticed
tearing around school wearing a
flashy red satin shirt comes to
Libby from Ural, Mont.
Fred's hobby is collecting match
covers. He favors algebra as a
subject and reading and fishing as
pastimes. AS yet Fred has no def
mite ambition, but he thinks L. II. S.
is pretty swell place now that in
itiationF is over.
His brother, Delbert, sedate
junior, spent his first two years of
high school in Eureka. Delbert
names typing as his favorite sub
lect, but says he would rather spend
his time riding his bike He also
voices an enthusiastic liking for
dear old Libby High.

We Introduce:

Sue Cauble, the new blue-eyed
blonde member of the freshman
class. Sue finds Libby High School
somewhat like Marshall School in
Spokane, which she attended last
year, but doesn't wish to express her
views on initiation. She participates
in glee club and wants to be in
the orchestra. Her ambition is not
yet fully determined, but she would
like to be radio star. incidentally
her hobby is singing and her pet
peeve is any screeching noise. Sues
favorite book is "Rebecca," and she
picks the movie by that name as
the best she's ever seen. Tyrone
Power is the star of her affections
and Alice Faye is her favorite lead
ing lady.
Thank you for the interview, Sue
and we're all glad to meet you.
