U N A TheLindblom VVeekly . THE Lindblom Weekly faced the new semester last February with very little hope for its continued existence. Students were not responding as they had during previous semesters. All this had but one significant meaning-f-the Weekly would have to stop all further publication. That newspaper, which had in the past upheld the reputation of performing the important function for which it was so justly famous in the world at large, was now facing a disaster almost inconceivable. But a large assembly on behalf of the Weekly early this semester, in which the staff presented to the student body a pantomine, 'iThe Lindblom Weekly Comes to Lifef, resulted in a circulation increase from 1,400 to 3,000, thus enabling this efficient body of young journalists to continue their excellent work. Under the supervision of Mr. George Ira Wilson, the Weekly has done much in the way of presenting the news of the school. Albin Romanowski, whose talent and skill in writing, and leadership ability have attained for him the position as Managing Editor, is assisted by Edwin Kaplan, John Zitz, Lorain Evett, Vida Mitchell, and Lenore Minnick. The Weekly has as its business advisor Clifford J. Hall, who can be seen late in the afternoon busily engaged with his staff. He is assisted by Chester Engstrom and John Pauls, Business Managers. The Weekly has been prominent in fostering and encouraging a unified school spirit and morale, helping to establish a higher standard in scholarship, and furnishing an outlet for student thought and expression. As a result of its earnest efforts and genuine ability, it was awarded All-American honors at thejNational Scholastic Press Association in 1931 and 1932. The Columbia University Press Association has for five consecutive years awarded the Weekly first place in the high school newspaper contest sponsored by the college. The city of Lindblom may well be proud of a newspaper so highly honored. 1 It is indeed a mark of achievement to become a member of the Lindblom Wepkly staff, for they are chosen for their general intelligence as well as for their adeptness in the study of journalism. The Weekly has opened a field entirely new to some students, who heretofore were left in ignorance of the importance and value of the newspaper world. Each issue of the Weekly is anxiously awaited by the whole student-body and faculty, for .without it, one could not converse intelligently on the news and social life of the day in the city of Lindblom. l Eighty-F our

Senior Boys Club KAHLIL GIBRAN, regarded by many as the greatest master of expression in our day, has said, In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and a sharing of pleasuresf' Passing by the doors of the Boys' Club Room every second Friday, one has no trouble in Ending this bit of advice followed by the Senior Boys' Club. Here the senior boys of the school meet informally for forty minutes of good fun and entertainment, and here they form many lasting friendships and close contacts with the other boys of their class. All senior boys are eligible for membership in the group. There are no standards of scholarship. No athletic regard and no lack of participation in the former affairs of the school stand as barriers to keep on the out.side those senior boys who would appreciate the opportunity to express themselves through the activi- ties of the club. Variety is the keynote of the programs which are presented after routine business is concluded at the regular bi-monthly meetings. This semester the boys have enjoyed a series of informal talks given by different members of Lindblom's faculty, plays performed by pupils of the dramatic organizations, discussions on events of the day by the boys themselves, and musical programs by the talented musicians of our school. The officers of the club have done a great deal toward making this past semester a memorable one. The president, Chester Engstrom, and the vice- president, Francis Russell, have had charge of the entire social side of the club's varied activities. John Slowiak, the secretary, has kept the minutes of the meetings and other records of the club very, ably, while the difficult and responsible position as treasurer was awarded to Salvatore Maragiolio, who has shohvn his ability along this line. Every semester the club attempts to be of service to the school by sponsoring some project. It is very helpful in all matters such as delivering Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to needy families, making our Clean-up Campaign a suclzess, acting as marshals and fire guards, or in any other capacity in which they are needed. To be a success in the business and social world one must learn the art of mixing with people and mingling with his own associates. This is probably the finest thing a boy learns during his year,s membership in the Senior Boys' Club. Mr. Hollister, the sponsor of the Club, strives to promote good fellow- ship, clean living, clean speech, and clean sport among the boys of the school -high aspirations which Lindblom believes have been attained under his expert guidance.
