Greth, livery other Fkiday afternoon as soon ascdasses are Over,the studentsrnake a mad dash to their home rooms to get their copy of the Lariat, hot off the press. Growing from the mimeographed publication of a few years ago, the Lariat has become a commercially printed newspaper. It now occupies a prominent position among school activities. The Lariat meets the demands for every type Of news. Its columns range from the gossipy Have You to the thought provoking editorials of James Robbins, Editor-in-Chief. Mrs. Bolton has freely given of her newspaper knowledge, and the whole staff has worked hard to make the paper a success. The Lariat's activities have not stopped with putting out the bi-weekly paper. The editors were sent to a press convention, where they learned many helpful pointersg and Mrs. Bolton and the editors have been constantly coaching the staff in correct newspaper technique. The Lariat picnic, resumed after a lapse of a few years, provided some well-earned relaxation for the staff. STAFF Editor-in-Chief . . . Assistant Editor . .. News Editor ...... Sports Editor .....

The purpose of a yearbook is to comprehensively and to accurately record the events of the school year. Thus is a very noble and vvorthy project. QBut regardless of how high the purpose may be, it also requires a lot of elbow grease. The Vaquero Staff has expended a great deal of time and energy to produce this book and sincerely hopes they have adequately accomplished the task given them. In charge of the industrious group was Editor David Potteiger, and the cap- able and helpful adviser was Miss Dorothy Lemmert. Everyone had a definite job to do, and it was up to the editors of the various departments to see that the members of the groups which they headed did their work efficiently and thoroughly. The staff does not intend to stop Working after the book has been completed, but is going to Work on constructive planning to attempt to better the quality of next years book.

Homan. singer, P. Dillon. That very active group of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls who thronged into the school every other Wednesday evening was our high school chapter of the Y-Teens. One of the busiest and most popular organizations in the school, the Y-Teens were constantly putting on interesting programs and planning enjoyable social events. One of the most thoroughly appreciated programs of the entire year was the Hower show held in early spring. A representative from Giles, a well-known local florist, demonstrated to the members the art of arranging Howers and making corsages. Other activities included a gym night, a well-attended doggie roast, and a visit by Mrs. Sands' theatrical group. The annual VV. P. A. Dance and yearly banquet were other highspots of the year's events. In a more serious vein, the Y-Teens packed boxes for distribution at Thanksgiving time and made scrapbooks which were given at Christmas time to the children in the Reading Hospital. Heading this enterprising organization were the following: Janet Brunner, president, Ann Grauert, vice-president, Siegrid Richter, secretaryg and Anna Cucinotta, treasurer. The officers were invaluably assisted by the two advisers, Miss McDonald and Miss Lemmert. This organization has successfully performed its worthy objective of teaching young minds that constructive ideas and deeds can be successfully and enjoyably accomplished.
