PRESS CLUB During the past school year, the Press Club. under the capable direction of Mr. VV. li. Letterman, faculty adviser, has very successfully fulhlled its purpose to encourage the interests of the high school pupils in the journal- istic held. Despite the fact that more rigid entrance requirements were in- troduced, the club had more members this year than in previous years. XVeekly meetings were held, at which time issues of the Red and VVhite were planned, and assignments were given. Each member was re- quired to have his assignments properly written and prepared when due. The quality of work done determined the member's standing in the club.
