Moore Horn Fletcher Fowler Reed Flynn Publications Locking back over the activities and accomplishments of the year, one sees many he wishes to keep for future reference. To select and record the more important of these happenings, an editor-in-chief, assistant editor and business manager are elected by the senior class. These elected ofhcers choose other class members to assist them. The members for the staff of the Retrospect this year are: editor-in-chief, Edith Fletcher: assistant editor, Muriel Fowler: business manager, John Flynn: advertising manager, Harry Duffy: athletic editor, John Wallace: art editor, Evelyn Beaman: photograph editor, Kenneth Tudor: class editor, Mary Horn: organization editor, Eliza- beth Reed: snapshot editor, Miriam Davis: mounting editor, John Stous: humor editor, Clifford Moore: stenographer, Verna Baehni: circulation manager, Robert Latta. The annual edited by the class of '31 received a First Class Honor Rating in the National Scholastic Press Association Contest spcnsored by the University of Minnesota. This rank is second to the All American Rating which is the highest award given. Each year this annual publication, the Retrospect, is entered in this contest to compete for honor ratings. A new publication, a sixty page student handbook, was edited by the Publication Committee with the assistance oi the student council. Each member of the council was assigned a special phase of the school activities on which to report. During the summer the material was arranged and set up for publication. Each student who enrolled at the first of the year was given a handbook to serve as a student directory. Twenty-three years ago the Blue Pencil was started as a pioneer paper in senior high school. It was a four-page paper but was changed to the Tattler which was published in magazine form. Its end came soon, however, and the Tattler was turned into the 'tHoltonian Magazine until 1919 when it was first edited in its present form. The Holtonian is now a bi-weekly, four-page paper which has, two different times, won All-American honor ratings in the National Scholastic Press Association Contest. This year the paper won a second place rating in the C. S. P. A. national contest which is sponsored by Columbia University at New York. The journalism class, consisting of thirty-one members, had charge of the writing of the news stories and all other features of the paper. 1 9 32 - . aww PAGE 26 Xlil wifi X 'v' P.- C I 4 'I X I I X 'i sc 5 L X X

. THE RETROSPECT . Baskett, Lyon, Gilkerson, H. Kaul, Squires, Keller, Colby, Sharp, T. Faulkender, Fairley, Butrum, Ricket. Junior Play The Goose Hangs High, the junior play, was a three-act production given Decem- ber 21-22. Miss Mildred Lee selected the actors and directed the play. Mr. Ingals, played by R. E. Colby, found himself in the position of a gentleman without a job, He had served for several years as city assessor and had proved very satisfactory. However, when Morris Gilkerscn, portraying Mr. Leo Day, got into power, he demanded that Ingals introduce him into society or lose his position. Ingals, goaded by the insolent treatment he received from Day, succumbed to a fit of anger and 'wrote a note resigning his position. The family had been living somewhat beyond their means, so there was no income to supply them now. Joe Butrum, as Hugh, the older son, offered to help with the money he had been saving for his marriage. His father firmly refused the offer and planned to get his old work back by tfictful methods. Since the Christmas vacation had arrived, the twins, Lois, Doris Lyon, and Bradley, Richard Baskett, were home enjoying themselves. As soon as they heard of the situa- tion, they would not allow their father to try for his former position. However there seemed to be no other way until they suddenly evolved the plan of asking the assistance of their Grandmother Bradley, Ruth Keller, and Noel Derby, Harold Kaul, a friend of the family. With the help and persuasion of their mother, Lois Sharp, the twins were able to bring about their fathers decision to accept their plan and thus proved themselves worthy schemers. Mrs, Murdock. Thelma Faulkender, the socially-climbing aunt of the Ingals chil- dreng Ronald Murdock. Scott Fairley, Mrs. Murdock's son and admirer of his cousins: Dagmar Carroll, Jacqueline Ricket, Hugh's hancee pursuing a careerg and Rhoda, Edith Squires. the emcient maid, helped further the plot and entertainment of the play. -W .MJ r -w -uk' Y 'm.Ds 1 9 3 2 zwwr p mqgmmmmm PAGE 28
