For the past week the office has been very busy working on registration and getting students in their proper classes.

     At present we have 380 in the seventh grade; 375 in the eighth grade; and 350 in the ninth grade. Mr. Stockard is asking for more teachers, seven new classrooms and covered walkways connecting wings on the west side.

     The Book Store is selling Nifty Space Saver Binders, Glenridge Banners, decals, T-shirts and book covers in two sizes. Of course the usual paper and pencils are available.

     Deans Sory and Bland will be in their offices during both lunch shifts and after school if you wish to discuss any of your personal problems.

     Dean Bland wants to urge all students to take good care of their books. Last year $800 were collected in book fines on abused and lost books. He estimates the amount will be $1000 this year unless you are very careful.

     The cafeteria personel wish to extend a friendly greeting to faculty and students. Their aim for the coming year is to help build healthier bodies by serving balanced, nutritious, and well-prepared meals.

     LET'S MAKE A SPECIAL EFFORT TO KEEP OUR CAFETERIA CLEAN!

     Are you planning to go to college? If you are you'd better maintain a high grade average, take the tougher courses, and develop good study habits, according to Dr. Charles A. Bucher, Professor of Education from New York University.

     Every year more and more college applications are turned down because of poor grades and haphazard study habits. NOW is the time to correct such faults.

     College admission officers say,"We are turning students away by the score. The ones who usually receive a rejection slip are those who fail to start thinking about college until their last year in high school."

     It is more difficult to get into college than ever before. A generation ago only 1 in 24 head for high education after high school. Now 1 in 3 are after a college degree. This means that colleges have far more applicants than they can possibly accept. Last September Swathmore accepted 250 out of 1800 applicants. This fall Smith will take 600 out of 2000.

     Four items are considered in every applicant. 1. The student's understanding of himself. 2. The subjects he has taken in high school. 3. The grade level he has maintained. 4. His extracurricular activities.

     Let's get busy. We've got studying to do!
