Fifteen per cent of each graduating class is eligible to election, one-third during the junior year and the remainder during the senior year. Selection is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The decision is made by faculty members. Representatives from the class of 1942 are Irene McKee, Rose Mullen, Paul Spry, and Joe Stinehagen. There will be seven seniors and three juniors chosen towards the close of the school year. INDIAN STAFF EDITORS AND REPORTERS Marjorie Reinhard Joe Stinehagen Betty Bird Robert Evans Earl Greene Sponsor—Miss DeLores Walker This staff took over the Indian publication at mid-semester, the members having been chosen by examinations given in the Senior English class.
