PUBLICATIONS To the Journalism Club fell the task of nosing around the corridors and class rooms of E.J.C. for such bits of news and scraps of gossip as might be worth printing. Starting in September with an unusually large staff the Club had dwindled by spring to a small but ever faithful pack of news hounds. Led by Editor Dale Kellogg and Assistant Editor Baird Snyder the Journalism Club edited the Grizzly Growls , official Juco paper, which is printed weekly (with the exception of Christmas week) as a part of the Butler County News. G. Haldane Crooks acted as sponsor and chief boss, putting in news and extracting gossip here and there. With the aid of several good deputies and many self-appointed re- searchers, the Scooper offered a weekly column of gossip for the enlighten- ment and entertainment of the student body. There were those of course that objected to being Scooped, but most people took it in the spirit of fun. Other features included personality sketches of students and teachers, editorials on campus, local, and national affairs ; and a column for the love- lorn , known as the Cynthia Hearthrob column. Betty Rose Whitestine was President of the Journalism Club ; Rachel Boyer, Secretary; and Wilbur Harms, Student Council Representative. Other members and reporters throughout the year were Dale Kellogg, Baird Snyder, Sybellee Overholser, Betty Rose Whitestine, Dale Thrasher, Don Plantz, Lovina Fowler, Maurine Kellogg, Eva Mae Patty, Peggy Smith, Miriam Gibb, Wilbur Harms, Alan Cowles, Bertha Joy Baggett, Cletus Haines, Rachel Boyer, Virginia Earl, Mary Elizabeth Pardee, Elmer Burns, and Helen Miller. — Peggy Smith.

Scien ce EXPERIMENT MCXXXVII1 Record your notes and make your drawings on this page immediately on leaving Laboratory. Date May 1, 1938 Object of this experiment: This experiment was conducted in hope that boys interested in the mechanics of the world in which we live might gain, through discussion and research, an insight into this field which has such an important bearing on all our lives. Method used in performing this experiment: The El Dorado Junior College Science Club, chartered in 1930, went into its eighth year of organization with about thirty-five boys as mem- bers for the current year. Such a large field as is included under the term science meant a split in the club as to a project to be carried out during the year. The result of this split was a division of the club into two groups: namely, those interested in photography and those interested in radio. Complete equipment was purchased for the developing and printing of roll film. Setting up a workshop in the basement of Mr. Coffman ' s home was the usual thing each Monday evening for some time. There we developed and printed films on which to practice. Results were often times quite good and then at other times .... In another corner of the basement the radio group worked, supplying sometimes music and sometimes static. (Of course, the static was always due to weather conditions). These evening meetings were usually followed by a wiener roast. Drawings: On the regular meeting dates, the second and fourth Monday of each month moving pictures often constituted the program while other meet- ings were devoted to the discussion of photography and radio. Later in the year the telescope, made by former members of the club was set up and used for frequent inspections of heavenly bodies. Those who supervised the experiment first semester were Wendell Tarman, President, Bill Nelson, Vice-President, John Newacheck, Secretary, Alan Cowles, Reporter, and Milton Larsen, Student Council Representative ; Second semester Frank Harshman, President, Ardon Butel, Vice-President, Bill Nelson, Secretary, Alan Cowles, Reporter and Milton Larsen, Representative. Mr. Coffman was the chief director. Signed S. H. Coffman, Instructor. Date May 1, 1938. — Magers and Newacheck.
