In Beginning Journalism, the practical is combined with the theoretical as student reporters cover news assignments and, at the same time, learn the fundamentals of the newspaper profession-reporting, proofreading, page layout, advertising. In Advanced Journalism, students specialize in feature and editorial writing. The third class known as the Executive News Staff, is responsible for the organization of the paper-assignments, editing, head- lines, layout, advertising, finance. Every other Friday without fail, the combined efforts of the students in the Journalism and Printing Departments assume tan ible shape: the HHS News is delivered to subscribers-Activity Card holifers-in second period classes. As they eagerly scan the latest issue of the News, perhaps only a few readers are fully aware of the blood, sweat and tears with which printers' ink has been diluted in order that they may get their copy of the paper on time. Not content with publishing fifteen issues of the paper each year, the Staff organized and brought to a successful conclusion their Project Wash- ingtoni'-a drive to raise money to send a student reporter to VVashington, D. C. for a teenageris slant on our government. The lucky reporter will be selected on the basis of scholarship, citizenship, interviews and tests in writing and government. Journalism students have the opportunity to enjoy many uextrasi' during the year-guest speakers, interviews with famous people, tours of local news- paper plants, press club meetings, and the eagerly-awaited Awards Ban uet. During the past year, the Quill and Scroll chapter of the Journglism Honor Society initiated a foreign correspondence bureau which su ervises the translation of news stories about Hollywood for release to fbreign- language news media. Y And finally, the News Staff, always ambitions, is in the process of producing a 16-page literary supplement to be distributed to HHS News subscribers twice a year. 31

Names of the members are given in the story below. H0lbfW00a'ffD1fz'll Team girls pifactzbe long balm to perfect their precision routines for football crowds Get up early on a chilly Friday morning in October or November and take yourself over to Hollywood's athletic field. If you arrive by 7:30, you will find the place already well populated. There are some seventy girls here, dressed in a wonderful variety of practice clothes. At first, all seems confusion. And then a voice is heard on an electronic megaphone. Crisp orders are given. The confusion quickly untangles itself, and you realize now that you are watching the Drill Team girls rehearsing for the half-time show at this afternoon's football game. The purposeful lady giving the orders is Miss Jane Fohl, Drill Team sponsor and di- rector-and inventor of the intricate routines the girls are perfecting. Soon the girls are joined by the band, and their gyrations take on a new rhythmic quality. The seventy girls move as one. This, though, is not their first rehearsal. Yesterday they stayed after school until 4:30 or later, as they do every Thursday afternoon. Always on hand to help Miss Fohl whip them into line are the co-captains of the Team, Lynn Switzer and Donna Aratani, elected to their positions of leadership by the girls themselves. If the girls, attire is odd this morning, they will be resplendent in their uniforms by game time-red skirts, white blouses, and tailored red vests, replete with gold braid. And in either hand, each girl will carry a white pom-pon. And now, at half-time, the long hours of practice pay off. Once more the Drill Team executes its colorful, precision routines to the delight of the spectators and the envy of rival outfits. Members of the Drill Team this year were: 32 Sandra Allen, Eva Anda, Donna Aratani, Linda Aratani, Mara Begier, Alexandra Bailey, Ianet Baker, Lorraine Baptist, Barbara Barnes, Joanne Basinger, Sheri Betkijian, Ierilyn Bird, Gail Blackman, Cindi Carlton, Jane Denney, Pinky Dennis, Marilyn Edgar, Toby Epstein, Linda Farber, Connie Friedman, Leslie Gaines, Claudia Gerst, Carol Gordon, Francie Green, Debbie Hand. Also on the Drill Team Were: Iudy Hicken, Sharon Horn, Charlene Jackson, Erica Ieide, Heather Iohnson, Stephanie Keehn, Nancy Kin- ney, Cheryl Klever, Kris Klyder, Gail Kusudo, Christine Long, Maggie Loveland, Debby Lyon, Wendy Matthews, Christine Meukel, julie Miller, Sue Newlee, Diane Nichols, Nikki Nichols, arbara Oxley. Others were: Karen Ralke, Sue Beep, Carolyn Rodgers, Barbara Savage, Carol Shimerda, Roberta Sibner, Laurie Spangler, Donna Stan- ley, Sandra Stein, Diane Sormont, Lynn Swit- zer, Lydia Tichenko, Iackie Tuers, julie Wag- ner, Nancy Wallace, Candy Wells, Emily Wil- liams, Sheran Wong, Sharon Wood, Salee Zam- zow, and Claire Dawson. Every individual member of the Drill team rates a vote of thanks. Aside from our athletes, few groups at Hollywood put in as much time and effort for the benefit of all as does the Drill Team. The girls not only provide color and entertainment at halftime, but each year they ply an important part in the Christmas show, staging their routines for the youngsters and again at the annual Alumni Day show. Edually deserving of praise is Miss Fohl, without whose energy and imagination there would be no Drill Team.
