printers Are Kept Busy Recording School Activities An all-important question asked of high school journalists is Does your school have its own printing press ? Our printing department prints the college and high school annuals, the Ark Light, tickets and programs, calendars, and all record cards and office forms. This department is a pre-vocational course in the art of print- ing, which provides an opportunity for self expression and de- velops technical skill. Good printing requires foresight in planning, initiative, stick- tol-it-iveness, and an understanding of human reactions to the printed page. It develops the complete personality. Printing, The Mother of Progress, and education are insep- arable. This activity provides the opportunity to apply the Learn by Doing philosophy to our teaching methods. A system of rotation of positions is employed, in which the fellow who does the make-up work changes with the cylinder pressman, the stereotypers alternate with the job pressmen, and the advertising compositors rotate likewise. The linotype operat- ors do not rotate as this is a separate course. This plan of varia- tion ofers a more thorough training in the different phases of the work. Student printers who make 'B's are eligible for membership in the Pica Club, the social organization enjoyed by the printers. The club meets every other Friday in the print shop. Pica officers for the first semester were Ross Turner, presi- dentg George Pitts, vice-presidentg Jack Maze, secretary-treasuw er and Ark Light reporterg and Howad Clark, sergeant at arms. Ross Turner was re-elected president for the second semester and Jack Maze continued to be the combined secretary-treasurer and Ark Light reporter, Alvin Scott succeeded Pitts as vice- president, and Frank Henderson was elected sergeant-at-arris. The Pica , the paper published by the printing students, is issued at irregular intervals. It shows excellent training and the boys get experience in editing and supervising a small paper. Many field trips were taken to commercial shops by the class. In these shops they viewed and inspected bigger projects and how they are carried out and supervised. One of the most in- teresting of these was a trip to the Wichita commercial shops. Five graduates from the high school print shop are now em- ployed by the Daily Traveler, which fact in itself shows the vocational success of the department. Harold E. Gish, printing instructor, has an excellent way of getting things done, otherwise the department could never mas- ter all the projects they are required to do. He has always been willing to cooperate with the students whose work encompasses his department, giving the Ark Light and Mirror staffs valuable aid and information.

tiuiidog tiasicetbali Quintet Closes Successful Season Playing a superb brand of ball throughout the entire season to turn in twenty victories out of twenty-three games,Ark City high's Bulldog cagesters captured two titles and were runners-up to another to complete what would be called a successful season in any man's language. The Arks started out in great form by handing two non-con- ference opponents a thorough lashing. They were victorious over Wellington, 41-15 in their first Ark Valley encounter. By the end of the Hrst round of play, the Arks were conceded little chance of coming out on top, having lost games to Newton and Winfield. From then on, however, Coach Nicholson's quintet made win- ning games a habit, sweeping all opposition aside to win the Ark Valley title for the current season with twelve victories and two defeats. Continuing with their brilliant offensive campaign, the Bull- dogs copped the regional elimination tournament at Winiield the following week, outclassing VVellington, 32-14, and Augusta, 36- 21, nosing out Winfield in the finals, 28-23-. Heralded as an outstanding contender for the state title, the Arks swamped their first two opponents in the Topeka event to enter the semi-iinals against Wyandotte. It was here that the Bulldogs played their best game of the tournament, turning back a stronger team than they played in the finals, 30-22. 2 to 1 favorites to win, Ark City's purple and gold quintet went into the final round against Newton, only to hit an off night and play their worst game of the season, dropping a 33-24 decis- ion to the Railroaders and with it the state title. Featuring in the Bulldogs' attack this year was the well nigh invincible scoring triumvirate of Reid, Quinn, and Engleman. It is unusual for a team to have as many as three leading scorers and it was this quality that gave the Arks their superior offens- ive strength. This trio, with Reid as pivot man and Quinn and Engleman at forwards, marked up total of 695 points for the season. Engle- man was first in the Ark Valley individual scoring while Reid and Quinn were second and fourth respectively. Their respective averages for the season are 10.91, 10.71, and 8.40. The two guards on the first quintet were Truel Shaffer, a husky defensive man who played an important part by retrieving the ball from the opposing team's backboard, and Richard Red Colopy. Robert Wilson who was substituted frequently for these two, saw just about as much action they did. The remaining second team guard was David Benjamin, long shot artist, with Edwin Maier at center, and Kenneth Mcssner and Keith Curfman at forwards. This was the most outstanding Bulldog basketball team since 1932 when Rogers and Noble led the Arks to the Ark Valley championship and to the finals of the state tournament. Next year will see another winning team with Englenian and the entire second team returning. PAGE 26 IGDNA ltEI'lCNHAGl'lN Commercial -Triple G Club, Speeiler Cashiers Club.
