Ledger reporters can be seen hurrying about the halls to visit their news sources. They are always in search of news that will be of value to the school paper. Each one is also eager to try to do his best. Wearing green and white badges to identify them, the reporters will stop to listen to news that is notable, always on the lookout for students whose achievements make them newsworthy.

Here each secretary must give an up to date account of the money collected from students.

GIRLS GLEE CLUB You don't have to be a master of music to join the Girls Glee club, but these girls do a good job. The more training the)’ get, the more appearances they have on stage. Learning to sing the correct notes of music and to keep on their various keys is nor an easy task, but this is one of the things that has to be learned before singing in the club. Music is a fundamental way of expressing one's feelings. These girls add their part to this art.
