THE EUHLUXERX JOUR ALISM The Journalism Club, representing each of the four classes in high school, has eleven members: namely, Beverly Barton, Russell Hofstad, Shirley Chase, Dwight Olson, John Morris, Henry Tyler, Bernice Swenson, Inez Trebil, Lois Storeim, Josephine Jensen, and Jeanne Kurrasch. This class has been organized this year for those interested in this type of work. Its chief duties are the writing of the school notes each week. A Christmas-Thanksgiving Clinton Hi-Lights was also published. At the beginning of the year the class met from 8:30 to 9:00 a. m., but with the new schedule it secured the ii:40 to 12:10 period on Wednesdays. The first meetings were devoted to the technique of newspaper writing and the class learned many helpful hints for their writing.
