Page Twenty-eight he rossos II I ng The Campus Clipper, the official paper of our high school, is a monthly publication containing news of things past and things to come written by members of the editor- ial staff headed by Editor Ruth Schacht, Beverly Schwind, news eclitorg Evalyn Hagner, assistant editor. The staff is super- vised by Miss Hickey to whom a great deal of credit for the success of the paper this year is to be given. It is the duty of the business staff to prepare the original make-up copy of the Clipper, sell subscriptions, obtain advertis- ments, and distribute the issues. The ef- ficiency of the staff is clue to the work of people like Victor Janz, Carolyn Prentice, Harriet Ross, and Miss Kucirek, adviser to the business staff. Top -- R. Schacht, E. Hagner, B.

Rolfs Driven by a sincere desire to conserve materials vital to the success of the war, The Bend, too, has gone on a war sched- ule, its budget and contents reduced to half size. Publishing the yearly Bend is a process which takes much time and accur- ate thinking. The editors attend to the writing and checking of copy, the layout of the dummy, pictures, correct spelling of names. The business staff and advertising staffs must also exercise care and fore- thought in making their finances balance. The advertising manager deposits all the money with the business manager, who also has charge of subscriptions. By being able to enjoy all these func- tions connected with The Bend, we as seniors have fulfilled one of our freshmen dreams. The staff appreciates the fact that it was able to publish the '43 issue of The Bend, even though its size and scope have necessarily been reduced in harmony with present war restrictions. Top -- G.

Debate That last final moment before a player walks out onto the stage and takes up his role as a character is perhaps the most exciting one in the short stage career of a high school student. Every year the technique of presenting a play seems to improve, thus adding to the enjoyment of the audience as well as to the actors and stage hands. ln the first dramatic production of the season, Mr. Olsen directed three one-act comedies on Octo- ber 2 7, 1942, for the purpose of raising some money for the N. F. L. Using casts picked from the juniors and seniors, the group presented: His First Date, The Dummy, and Nobody Home. After this, there was a lull in drama until Tues- day, April l3, when the senior class play, picked by a reading committee, was presented. Directed and staged by Miss Stanfield, The Green Vine, a philosophical comedy, was a decided hit. CAST OF CHARACTERS Cousin George ....... Dan Merriam Myrtle . . . . Harriette Ross Tom . . . .

Ians BQ ond morr Youth today are looking at occupations through bi-focal glasses, trying to fit into the immediate war needs and, at the same time, endeavoring to push the horizons be- yond the war to find a useful career in the post-war era. Fortunate, indeed, is the person who finds that his interests and ability are equally useful in war and in peace. Some youth now must make two plans, one for the war years and the other for the time when victory is won. The task of choosing from among the 20,000 occupations one in which he would like to specialize requires a considerable amount of observation of workers at their work.

Pluer Next one must read about various fields or try oneis self out in several occupational tasks, while at the same time constantly appraising one's self with reference to the demands of each occupation considered. The guidance programs this year have been devoted to the bi-monthly meetings of the 24 hobby groups, discussions on col- leges and schools for advanced training, programs explaining the various oppor- tunities in the several branches of the armed services, talks by local men and women. Wartime job quizzes, a vocational book fair, bulletin board displays, motion pictures, uprivilege Day programs devot- ed to problems selected by the students, and assembling up-to-date and authentic printed information, all have played their part in the year's procession of activities. They have been combined to reinforce one another as tools to impart information on which pupils could base intelligent choices regarding vocational, avocational, and social usage problems. Miss Forrester, who is directing the guidance work, has received an appoint- ment for the coming summer session at Teachers College, Columbia University, and will have complete charge of three classes there. Miss Forrester received her Ph. D. degree from Columbia last fall. Top -- B. Casper, H. Wagner, S. Bellman Bottom -- M. Miller, D. Bascom, S. Bellman i Page Twenty-nine
