PRESS CLUB 1rHE Press Club in its fifth year of existence was organized and in running order early in September. Under the guidance of Mr. Everet Rudloff, representa ive of the Asbury Park Press, Alyce Janus, editor and Ruth Hauser, assistant editor, the school journalists for the year of 1936-1937 were soon poking their noses into ev- eryone's business. This year the lecture plan as had been previously tried, was continued. How- ever, the group was this time selective rather than compulsory. Instead of requir- ing journa ism of all seniors, the club opened its portals to any students who were press minded. Seniors, for the most part graced the ranks. Twenty-two asp1ra11ts clambered for seats but the ensuing ife of the regorter dwindled the numbers to fourteen and finally eleven. Meetings were held on onday, period four. In October four of our number: Alyce Janus Ruth Hauser, Eleanor Rowan, and Mary Porsklevies accompanied by Miss Haight attended an instructive all-day con- ference at Rutgers University. The principal point stressed at this gathering was the tremendous influence which High Sohoo Journalism plays. nJournal1sm molds thought and should not be able to be boughtu were the words of Mr. Laurence B. Johnson, Managing Editor of the New Jersey Educational Review. The afternoon meet- ings were given to special topics. Our representatives attended meetings on F1- nancing The Year Book Creative Writing, The Short Story, ways and Means of Devis- ing Ma erial for the Year Book, and Covering the News. Our group activity of visiting the press plant at Asbury Park was undertaken one fine afternoon while the Juniors were giv ng their dress rehearsal of nwatch Your Step, W1lton.n The operation of the plant, the morgue, the telatype, the linotype operators, typesetters, regorters and the various phases of the newspaper well 1 lus rated several points of r. Rudloff's talks. The fourth annual convention for Monmouth County press students and advisors was held this year at Asbury Park on April 6. Representatives from our group in addition to the editor and assistant edi or were Eleanor Rowan Alice Sorenson, and Charlotte Frimpter. This all-day conference presented an interesting slant on school journal sm. Dr. H. F. Green, headmaster of the Pennington School, was the speaker of the day. His theme was: G-goodnessg R-reading CWYoucan't eat garlic in rlvate and not smell in ublicubg O-order, W-work CCo lege bred doesn t mean a our year loafjg I-ideals, -newness, G-gladness. nRest, rust and rot is nota.goo ?
