AS We See 1t

AS you probably already know,
the School, through the coopera-
ton of the Student Council, has
selected Scarlet Raiders" as the
name for our athletic teams.
You may recall that during the
last war, different fighting organi-
cations chose a name for them
selves, such as The Flying Tigers
or The Fighting Sea Bees. These
names were selected for the pur-
pose of creating a better fighting
spirit, and our name - Scarlet
Raiders will, we believe, create
a better School spirit.
Our basketball and soccer var
sites have had a good year and
have, in the past, been very well
supported. Our dances, too,
through good attendance, have
been made very successful also.
This is real School spirit and
there is much of it around. But
you may not have believed it had
you attended the prom committee
meeting last week, for a mere l6
interested persons turned out to
take the responsibility of making
possible the annual sophomore
prom.
How can a dance be made a
success when such few boys and
girls are interested in preparing
for itp After all, there are the
decoration, the admission, the
program, and the refreshment
committees, and they certainly
will require more than Is people
if they are to function well.
For the first time in the School,
history, there will be dance band
for the prom; this, with the COOP
Grafton of more students, should
make this the best dance ever
sponsored by the School.
Not only is your help badly
needed, but it is your duty as a
student of the Washington School
to volunteer. So why not con-
tact any of the FIVE tenth-grade
teachers today and offer your
help.

Book PeUieO

What could be more appropriate
in the spring than poetry? And our
school library offers many collections
of poems, one of which will surely
suit your taste.
Here are brief reviews of some of
them:
Poems for the Very Young Child"
is illustrated and has special Sec
ton describing the spring season.
For a slightly older child is "Stars
to Steer By" Also illustrated, it has
poems on every subject from "Anna-
bel Lee" to "The Zebra"
Especially for boys who may be
shy of poetry, is collection called
''The Boys Book of Verse" 1t con-
tains many old favorites as well as a
few new ones you probably haven't
heard
Along more classical lines is mod
ern American Poetry-Modern Brit
ish Poetry" Combined edition., with
short biography of each author
whose poems are included.
For lovers of Alfred Tennyson is
"Tennyson's Poetical Works." 927
pages of fine print.
If you are interested in the inter
national scene, you might like "a
Junior Anthology of World Poetry"
with poems from eighteen nationali-
ties.
The sea-minded should read salt
Water Poems and Ballads"
Almost everybody in the school
could find poems to suit their liking
on the shelves of the school library
so why not drop in soon and pick
one out.
The following books (prose, not
poetry were recommended by Miss
Camilla Boward for seventh grade
reading:
''The Lance of Kanana," by Harry
w. French; 'Dobry,'' by Monica
Shannon; ''The Good Master" by
Kate Seredy; ''River Rising" by HUI

Custodian Tells Of
School Experiences

How would you feel if you walked
into the furnace room at 200 o'clock
in the morning to find two boys wait
ing for you? This is an experience
that happened to Mr.. William AL
bert, one of the custodians of our
school.
When asked how he COPIED with
the situation, he replied: 81 threw
a mop at them and they ran"
But this is just one of the many
experiences of the janitors. Doors
creaking, the wind blowing around
the corner, and echoes of mice
scampering through the halls, are
among the unusual sounds they are
always hearing.
The custodians work, on an aver
age, from eight to fifteen hours g
day, depending mostly on the wea-
Their.
More interesting facts given tc
your reporter were: the school uses
twelve brooms and brushes; one
hundred and fifty to two hundred
fuses; forty cartons of paper towels
two and half cartons of toilet It's
sues; fifty-five gallons of soap Cone
drum; two hundred light bulbs ano
four hundred tons of coal in one
school year.
The school custodians are: Mr.. Roy
Rhinehart, Mr.. Bob Rhinehart, Mr.
Clarence Blenard and Mr.. William
Albert, and they all deserve our ap
probation and respect.

GOVERNMENT STUDY is
COMPLETED BY STUDENTS

The ninth grade civic students,
taught by Mr. William Pennington,
completed their unit of study on
Maryland government on March %,
which was, strangely enough, very
near to Maryland Day, March rs.
AT the end of their studies, the
students were shown the movie,
Maryland" which deals with the
larger cities of Maryland and their
industries.

Intramurals Close
With An-Star Game

The last eighth grade girls intra-
mural basketball game was played
last Monday, in the form of an all
star game, with the Red Sox beating
the Yankees by 27-20 count.
With the score 1912 at half time,
the Yanks fought back hard, but
were not quite good enough.
Jennings scored IL points for the
winners, while Kirtley handled most
of the losers scoring chores by sink
ing six field goals.

We are sorry to hear that Bill
Shrader is confined to his home with
a broken shoulder. The accident
happened while he was wrestling in
gym class on March %. Your home
room hopes to see you back in school
real soon, Bill, and so do we.
Why are Joy S. and Sarah S. so
blue? Is it because Paul S. and Joe
R. don't go to this school?
Ears" M should practice up on
the art of catching coins if he wants
to walk Geraldine K home.
l wonder why some girls are bash
full when a boy asks them for a pic
ture? Wonder why Virginia A. is
bashful when Eddie B. asks her for
a picture? How about it, Virginia?
1t seems that, although Gene S.
is new here, he is getting a rather
warm reception from certain tenth
grade girl How about it, Connie
L? What happened to Johnnie R.?
So I've been told Carole H doesn't
like her horses, Cecil, Jimmie or
David, but instead she now has a
crush on George H.
Why does Lois S. make trips to
Roach's Drug Store in the evenings
after school? Could it be she is
looking for Dick E.?
The other day, in history class,
Doris K. was asked to tell who the
Vikings were. Doris answered.:
''They were tall, blond fellows"
Gould it be you were thinking of
Clark F., Doris?
In recalling olden days, it was
heard that Lynn Meyers gave Patsy
Shambaugh a ring in the second
grade but Patsy threw it back at
him. l wonder if Patsy would do
that now?
Come on, tenth grade boys! What's
the matter with you anyway? Why
don't you ask your best gal to the
prom, because the deadline for
couples is April %. You too, girls
get on the ball and ask your boy
friends!
We are very sorry to hear that
Janet Messer has left our school and
moved to Virginia. 1t was also heard
that Jimmy Grandstaff is feeling
very low about the whole situation.
