AN APPEAL: CLEAN UP YOUR lIESS
Every student is familar with the cafeteria but few realize the condition in
which they - arc leaving it, Mrs. Smith, our competent cook, has asked if all
students would please put their dishes and rubbish or paper in the boxes and
carriers designated for them:,
After they finish eating, many leave the cafeteria with their napkins and
dishes still on the table,, It will be greatly appreciated if all students would
co-oporatcto keep our cafeteria floors and tables clean, and lessen the burden on
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Michael,.
ATTENTION Al UTEUR AST RON 01 IT PB
The acllogc has received most of the necessary cop.ipmentfor making a 6-inch
Newtonian reflecting tolescopc„, Mr. Ward is now busily engaged in grinding a
large price of glass into a mirror at the physics lab, and later, after the mirror
is ground, it will be sent away to have a thin coating of aluminum put on.. An
this is taking much time and effort on I.r.Ward , s part as the mirror must be exact
to within one-one millionth of an inch; with such a smooth finish you can see
a fingerprint stand above the surface of the glass---that is really cutting things
close when you c.)nsider that this is being dme by handl At the rate the telescope
is being make, itr. Ward hopes to be able to put it into use, this year—so break
out your space suits as the time is cDming tp go exploring the stars.
