MICROPHONE James VanEUen, Miss Compitell Roberta lngersoll The 1939-40 Microphone staff under the capable leadership of Roberta lngersoll and James Van Etten successfully edited the first large paper ever to be published in Mynderse. The staff, consisting of thirty-three aspiring journalists, creditably filled their respective positions. Many additional improvements were noticeable this year in the Microphone. Numerous cuts were used, made possible by the cooperation of Mr. Becker as staff photographer. As a result of the larger paper, each issue contained news of the various Mynderse activities. This was not possible with the smaller paper because of lack of space. More individual work was used in the form of original themes and editorials. The Microphone has succeeded in reaching a larger number of students through the changes mentioned. All this, we feel was made possible only through the assiduous effort and cooperation of Miss Compitello, our publication adviser. The staff concluded the year’s activities with the annual Microphone banquet held at Springside Inn on Owasco Lake in May. Back Row: Compitello, Adviser; Comernisky, Bartran.

BLOCK M CLUB The Myndersian salutes the Block M Club, an organization which truly characterizes the spirit of young American manhood. In its three short years of existence, this club, under the supervision of Mr. Wormuth, has done much to promote greater sportsmanship among the students of Mynderse Academy. During the football, basketball, and baseball seasons, Block M boys ably assisted the faculty in selling tickets and maintaining order at each game, and in making themselves useful to the coaches and players of visiting teams. Ten new members were initiated into the Block M Club this year. The total membership now includes eighteen. John Moreland is president of the club; John Marsh, vice-president; Joseph Comernisky, secretary; and John Barbi, treasurer. At the end of the year, Block M will again award a sweater with a Block M on it to the athlete 26 in school who shows the most sportsmanship. John Marsh was the recipient of the 1939 sweater.
