STEEL DUST JOURNAL VOL. ii. No. 2 FROEBEL SCHOOL -s- GARY, INDIANA October 13, 1944 THE SENIOR ENGLISH GLASS NOW STUDYING AMERICAN LITERATURE There is only one Senior English class this semester at Froebcl. It is be- ing instructed by Miss M. Southwick. The class has just concluded the reading of Booth Tarkington’s novel, T urmoil. At present, the pupils have been in- structed to select a book of American literature, and written by an American author, so that they will become ac- quainted with some of this country’s out- standing books and their authors. Some of the books being read are For JVhom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway; This Above All, by Rachel Field; Song• of the Lark, by Willa Cather; The Human Comedy, by Wil- liam Saroyan; A Tree Grows in Brook- lyn, by Betty Smith, and many other such books. When each pupil has finished his book, he is to give an oral report on the author and the novel he has read. The class finds this work interesting not only because they are enjoying it, but also because it is widening their knowledge of American literature. This, after all, should he a good part of every American’s high school education. FROEBEL JUNIOR-SENIOR CLUB Froebel’s Junior-Senior Club put its best foot forward and started the school ‘year with a very successful “Back to School” dance. This was the first of many activities the club has in store for its members and friends. The club invites all freshmen and other new students of Froebel to join this progressing organization. Our officers and sponsors for the year are: Joyce Powell, president; Ray- mond Williams, vice president; James Haywood, secretary, and Melvin Stroud, treasurer. Emogene Henderson and James Johnson are social chairmen; Mildred Johnson and Willie Williams, publicity chairmen. The sponsors are Miss E. Cooper, Mr. C. Davis and Mr. MacAllister. WATCH FOR BOW-WEEK” BEET YOUR STAFF With the passing of time, another school year, 1944-1945, has begun. Standing upon the threshold of coming events, we see new facies, new programs —new faces, especially on The Steel Dust Staff. Our best efforts shall be put fortli to give you good reports of our activities, civic, cultural and social. Our hats are off to our predecessors fur their ceaseless and untiring efforts of establishing and running a school newspaper. We shall endeavor to take over where they have left off and we certainly recognize the difficult job ahead of us. A few veterans of the original staff still are with us, and with the addition of the newcomers, we shall try to the best of our ability to render our school faithful service. Let’s get acquainted with the new staff. Just in case you don’t know, all credit for our newspaper rightfully goes to Mrs. Kathryn Welsh, who, in addi- tion to her duties as a teacher of Eng- lish. Journalism and newspaper work, again is our Sponsor. Gertrude Danch is serving as Editor fro tern due to her past experience on the newspaper staff. John Baranko, Carl Taseff and Nick Stevoff are charged with reporting boys’ athletic activities. Jerry Polakais is our new Inquiring Reporter. Sharpen your wits and be on the lookout for Jerry. Marv Ellen Neal will try “Did You Know That?”—a feature column, the truth through others’ eyes. Take it or leave it. Loretta Piatak will specialize in “Fashions for Youth.” You’re in style, if you’re on file with Loretta. Olga Kimoff, by reason of her wide knowledge and experience with F. B. C. activities, will conduct this column, which we know will meet with as great, if not greater, success than it has in the past. So F. B. C.ing you, Olga. Bette Roberts and Ida Mae Lucas are charged with the Grade School News. Remember your grade school days and give them every help you can. Olga Belkow and Anne Feryo will report all the activities of the G. A. A. Though this is an immense task, we know that they will accomplish it well. NEW MUSICAL VENTURE A. new chorus has been started at Froebel. It is made up of students who are interested in music and is directed by Adele Bohling Lee. So far the total membership is fifteen, hut there is a pos- sibility of its gradually growing in size. George Gershwin’s lovely music from Porgy and Bess has been chosen for a beginning. The chorus meets every day at 11 :20 for ten minutes, and ex- pects to perform on several occasions in the near future. This chorus has not chosen a name yet. However, the members will see to that very soon. They are Katharine Burr, Mildred Johnson, Emogene Hen- derson. Mildred Jamison, Faustine Frederick, Naomi Augustus, Mattie Booker, Garrett Cope, Robert Green, George Taylor, Calirn Rogers, Don Jones, Julius Berryhill, Alex Thomas and Richard Comer. F. B. C. News The F. B. C. held its first meeting of the year recently. The girls had looked forward to this meeting with great anticipation, and showed much enthusiasm toward the program of the month as it was presented by the club officers and sponsor. The F. B. C. motto is Build for Character, Not for Fame!’ and the girls endeavor to live up to this standard. The F. B. C. boosts Froebel School and all its various ac- tivities. The members aim to create a friendly spirit toward everyone in Froebel. The rollcall was answered with in- spirational quotations from educators and philosophers. Miss Liggett, our sponsor, gave a stimulating talk to the girls about loyalty and co-operation with the club’s activities. The members sang the club song, which was written by Miss Weiner, a former member of the F. B. C. and now a teacher in Froebel School. The officers told the members their duties and discussed the plans for our future dances. At our parties we are having refreshments and social dancing and plenty of fun for all F. B. C. mem- bers. The meeting ended with members forming a large circle, holding hands and saying, “Let us be loyal friends, now and forever.”
