Brum, Grizzly wm top national ratings Going to where the action is means going to room 105. This activity is put in on the Bruin, the Grizzly and the Litsmith-Northside's yearbook, news- paper and magazine-where from 8 to 5 a group of people known as the pub- lications staff are at work. NUMBER ONE was the word in the department this year with the BRUIN NAMED TOPS IN '68 to receive the S.K. Smith Yearbook Scholarship Award. Both the Bruin and the Grizzly hold top national ratings, including the Medalist award of the Columbia Scho- last-ic Press Association and the All- American award of the National Scho- lastic Press Association. Litsmith, the literary magazine, initiated in September monthly contests to which any interested students could contribute. Winning entries were printed in the spring issue. New to the department this year, because of the abolishment of the general fee, all three publications were offered in a subscription plan. Delivery of the Grizzly was shifted from third period to home rooms with the assistance of the House representatives in distribution. Newmounds set the pace in 105 Clockwise.

Social studies keyed to local interest As broad as peopleis interest in people, the social studies courses in ,68-,69 ranged from the boisterous campaign speeches in a mock national election to buying and selling stock on the New York Stock Exchange. To keep up with the times, a new course was offered, entitled Exploration in Humanities, a study of painting, sculpture, music and literature. Also, classes this year were able to take advantage of a new projector with sound, 'Footnotes in History, furnished by a national camera company and used by Northside every other week with Southside. The department joined the Fihn of the Month Club for current events. Other activities included guest speakers who lectured on areas in which they specialize, ranging from real estate to social security. Classes also made field trips to local points of historical interest.
