ouznaham CM This year, under the able direction of Miss McDorman, the Journalism Club had a Hred letter year.u The club worked efficiently and swiftly to do all which they set out to do. The feature attraction of this year was a trip to the Chicago Tribune. The club arranged it so that any student of the high school could go along if he wished to do so. The unanimous decision after the trip was that everyone had enjoyed the trip very much, and still more important, they had learned many interesting things. In conclusion, let us say that the introduction to the smell of printer's ink was enjoyed by everyone who participated in this club.

Their first activity of the year was the Book Week Tableaux, in which they gave to the school tableaux representing different books. , As a Christmas present to the community, they presented a Christmas play. All the money taken in at this play was donated to the Red Cross. In February the inter-class play tournament was held. All the money received was used to pay for the expenses of the club during the year. In March, the club gave its Annual Thespian Banquet, to which it invited all those who had participated in dramatics. Thespian letters were awarded to outstanding dramat- ic students. The talent in the three lower classes promised next year to be another successful one in drama. lst row: B. Scheibeg S. Johnsong V. Cosgroveg J. Millerg C. Quigleyg P. Deckerg D. Strangg V.
