'fffffl I R E V I E W l JOURNALISM In these days of much education and spreading of knowl- edge, almost everyone is interested in any subject that instructs him and extends his knowledge. There are few readers who would not be glad to know how a carburetor works, why a geyser gushes, what causes dew, why orioles build hanging nests, how the tax assessor figures incomes, and many other things. The difficulty with so many writ- ers telling all these things, is to find new subjects. With the desire to be instructed goes the desire to learn about something new. The constant shifting of scenes and the crowding of events results in a continually changing interest in va- rious kinds of subjects. With Congress advancing bonus money to ex-service men, everyone is interested in just how the money will be spent and how much good it will dog with the projecting of new transcontinental or local airplane lines, citizens im- mediately are interested in other aviation venturesg the appearance of a new coin recalls interest in previous coinsg a train wreck starts people talking of other train wrecks. The interest of readers is changing day by day, and the newspaperman continually is watching for a chance to take advantage of a particular interest in order to write about things that may be associated with, or hitched up to, that interest. In newspaper parlance this interest is called news value. We also strive through the medium of journalism to teach students the fundamentals in literary writing and the me- chanics of organization of a book or a magazine. We strive for NEWS VALUE and PICTURE VALUE in the X-Ray, and PICTURE VALUE and LITERARY VALUE as well as news value in the Review. -MERRIL OSENBAUGH.

IZIIIIR l R E V I E W l 211112222 Schools, Then and Now This is the theme of this book, published for you by members of the senior class, and here you have one of the reasons why this book was published-to present interesting facts about the development of educational facilities in Sacramento. In this small volume We are trying to present to you a chronicle of the year-something of a balance sheet, with its victories on one side and defeats on the other. And too, it is a sample of what We high school kids can do in the Way of creative Writing, art, and journalism. It's giving our folks a fair chance to see that high school isn't just a series of football games. I think, maybe, they are grateful for the chance. This book also is a garden of memory-a picture gallery of old friends. The pictures of those other 799 graduates Who, too, Went forth to new surroundings to see new faces and who Will spend happy hours looking over the old crowd and Wondering what they are all up to. Yes, it's a picture gallery. What the faculty would be justified in terming a rogue's gallery. In some cases it's even an art gallery. In some cases. This is your book-to take with you on your long, long, journey through life. And with it you have our sincerest Wishes for a Wonderful success Whose victories will bring back to you, time and again, fond, lingering memories of a glorious year. -MARGARET WHALLEY. lllllllllmlllllnuu Page Nine Ill
