. ' q to.. t'3i t JM'F-Isaiwx; .14; On the left is Myrt Archer, the M 0 st W o r t h y Student of the class of spring 37. Myrt was always recognized, even at great distances, by the enormous pile of books he carried. On the right is Evelyn Booth, who re- ceived special honors for her English work. She was unrivaled in writing ability by the entire school. But, like all aue thors, she has a mania-hers is ham sandwiches. Snuggly ensconced in honor positions after a faculty huddle in mid-April were Myrt Archer, Evelyn Booth, Bob Morten and Isabel Kielbasa. Myrt spent one year in editorial spots in the Record. and during his final term edited the Afterglow. Bob was student-body president, vice-president, and commissioner of welfare. Isabel, for an entire year, was commissioner of girls athletics. Evelyn was a long-term tenant of the Record staff box. Bob M o r t e n, honored for ser- vice, despite his dreamy, care-free nature, proved to be a real leader and, under his generalship pave- m e n t pounding, s t u d e n t b o d y members continu- ed, despite sag- ging arches and rain drenched garments, to sur- mount impending obstacles and carry on. Perhaps the one person. in t'h e high senior class who enjoyed the between per- iod Qi-block jaunt more than any one else is Isabel Kielbasa re- cipient of special honors for her work in girls' ath- letics.

The p u b l i c a- tions group, which is advised by Mrs. L o i s M c R o y J o n e 3, includes Myrt Archer, ed- i t o r; E v e I y n B o o t h, F 1 o r a Campi, Blaz Ci- k 0 c h, associate editor; Fay De Cristina, Anthony Kovacich, feature editor; Lawrence La Barr, Michael McBride, Phyliss M o r g a n, B i 1 1 Sheide, sports ed- it o r ; Dorothea Silva, June Wil- ley, Ruth Wold- man, Albert Lem- mer, Victor Re- motto, Joan Da CoSta, and Helen Kranovich. Headed by Myrt Archer, the record staff of four wild eyed key poking news seekers, Anthony Kovacich, feature page; Blaz Cicoch, associate editor; and Bill Sheide. sports sheet; supported by efforts of the entire news class, success- fully published fourteen issues and one special edition of the McClymonds Record, 20 year-old school news organ. Athletic Day, staged by boys, athletic association members, taxed the editorsi resources severely when they attempted an All-Sport Special, which, although, it added gray hairs galore to the locks of adviser Lois McRoy Jones, and robbed page heads and special writers of their already too scant hours of snooze, came out as planned; and, fairly dripping ink, it was distributed to celebrating would-be athletes. The fourth estate was rocked fore and aft by changes of sports editors throughout the term. Larry La Barr and Mike McBride scribbled out eight issues of the page, Bill Sheide and La Barr two, McBride alone one, and Sheide, upon whose shoulders the burden finally came to rest, three. Evelyn Booth, in addition to writing her column uHeis Different Because? collared the position of news editor, assisted by Helen Kranovich. The athletic world was covered by Vic Remotto, and the sports editors, while June Willey and Albert Lemmer tramped twenty blocks to cover the Lowell division. Dorothea Silva held the sheetis purse strings as business manager, and circulations problems were ironed out by Fay Di Cristina and Phyllis Morgan. Flora Campi and Ruth Woldman broke finger nails and soiled their hands folding papers in the exchange department, while Mrs. Lois McRoy Jones, between her Hights from the Durant division to the Lowell annex, advised the sheet.

Those who assigned homework, put their faith in tears, threats, or cajolery to pull it in next day. All hoped, come June 16, that by the will of the teacher, the quality of the text, and the grace of God, the pupils learned something. Page Twenty-seven i 5 i i i i i l !
