CLARA FOSS Miss Clara Foss has been teaching in our Stenographic department and has been head of it for 30 years. Through these years Miss Foss has given many girls and boys a fine business training by which many of them today are pros- pering. Through our supplement, we, the June class of '37, ex- press our deepest gratitude' to Miss Foss for her splendid helpfulness to us. FREDERICK H. STEWART North High has had the pleasure of having Mr. F. H. Stewart as one of its teachers for 30 years, which is a longer time than any of the other of our teachers have been here with the exception of Miss Clara Foss. We the June class of '37 want to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Stewart for having been such a loyal sup- porter of our dear Alma Ma- ter, and We hope that many more forthcoming students may have the pleasure of en- joying his teachings as We and those pupils in the past have.

Their duties consist of making up the twelve issues of the Oracle distributed during the semester in addition to the issuing of the Senior Supplement at the close of the semester. This course aids the student in obtaining knowledge necessary for newspaper work and gives him practice in developing an invaluable talent. At the state Journalism Convention last October in Iowa City, Mike O'Conner, Art editor of the present staff, won first place in advertising copy writing. The National Scholastic Press Association has chosen Des Moines as the city for their 1937 national convention. This will be the first time the national convention has been held here. The state Journalism convention will be held here at the same time as the national convention.
