Page Twenty STU DENT BODY ACTIVITY LEADERS To publish a newspaper or a yearbook requires untiring effort and concentration on the part of the editors. ln this capacity Dorothy Clark and Robert Burke have proved themselves worthy of the confidence placed in them. The class sections of the Mahiscan were improved by substituting individual for group pictures. The enlargement of the feature section of the Ma-Hi Times added to the interest of the students. The yell leader, Evelyn Miller, and song queen, Dorothy McLaughlin, have kept the pep assemblies, rallies and programs at the football and basketball games entertaining and interesting with a quantity of new yells and songs. ROBERT BURKE DOROTHY MCLAUGHLIN EVELYN MILLER DOROTHY CLARK MAH ISCAN MA PEP The publication of the Marshfield High School yearbook forms one of the largest functioning activities in the school. The MAHISCAN is published each spring recording the events and activities of the school year. The book is divided into five divisions: namely, administration, classes, activities, features, and sports. At the end of the l939 school term, Robert Burke was elected by the student body as editor of the MAHISCAN. ln the fall of l940 he and the newly chosen advisor, Miss Katharine Wright, selected editors for the various sections. From the students who had expressed a desire to assist in the production of the annual, each editor selected mem- bers for his staff. As the central feature of the sales campaign, an original assembly portraying the production of a motion picture was presented by the MAHISCAN staff. In conclusion movies of students and faculty members were shown. This year the Mahiscan staff compiled the book in a different style. In the past only members of the senior class have had individual pictures. In this year's book the sopho- more and junior classes, as well as the senio First row: K. Murphy: J. Davis: E.

Ma-Hi Times is the high school newspaper published every two weeks. lt is com- posed of four sections: news, features, sports, and society. Dorothy Clark is the editor and Miss Margaret Schoeler is the advisor. This year the newly organized journalism class contributed material to the paper as well as did the students who were interested in Ma-Hi Times as an activity. In the spring several issues of the Ma-Hi Times were sent to the national office of Quill and Scroll to be rated on make-up and quality of the content. First row: V. Meyers: J. Johnson: J.

The selling of purple and gold pom-poms and covering the goal posts at football games are services performed by the Pep girls. . Using a variety of formations, the club distinguished the Pirate section with their costumes consisting of deep purple corduroy skirts and boleros, white silk blouses, yellow sashes, and high pirate boots.
