TO SPELL CORRECTLY IN ENGLISH IS T0 GRADUATE To meet the city spelling requirement, English students and faculty invented or reclaimed every means of learn- ing and writing correctly the words which are considered the most diflicult by the teachers of Saginaw. Sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors alike met the words in class and after school periods. The study of the literature and the mechanics of writ- ing and speaking their native tongue was enhanced for English students by theme writing on war and patriotic subjects, by buying prize winning books to start indi- vidual libraries of the masters in inexpensive editions through the student book orders, by receiving instruction in library science in order to make better use of the rapidly growing school library, and by reading of general background magazines such as the Scholastic and Readerts Digest in classes. Patricia Brock, a senior, won city and state prizes and honors with her patriotic theme, United We Win. Assisting Miss Frances Hinrichsen, librarians in libra- ry 163 this year were six English students-Audrey Mea- dors, Marilyn LaBonville, Betty Jane Merrick, Shirley Close, Arlene Papineau, and Tom Tripp. QUILL-SCROLL Those students who proved themselves better than aver- age in their journalistic work were recognized by the Treanor Chapter of Quill and Scroll, international honor society of high school journalists.

Five students gained recognition in The National Awards an- nual contest sponsored by Scholastic Magazine and in Quill and Scroll contests sponsored by the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.

PARENT-TEACHERS HONOR ALUMNI IN SERVICE With the total of 831 Parent-Teacher Association members, the campaign ended with 134 members over last year. Mrs. D. E. Fer- riby, membership chairman, was assisted by Miss Ethel Peterson, faculty chairman. Miss Mary Margaret Doidge's advisory, for the second consecutive year, outsold the rest of the school. The group decided to have five meetings instead of ten because of gas rationing and community war work. The first meeting took place in October in the form of an Open House. Teachers received parents in their rooms from 8 to 9 o'clock. Officers assuming their duties for the year were: Dr. W. J. B. Mason, president, Mrs. Oliver W. Lohr, mother vice-presi- dent, Mr. Walter G. Stenglein, father vice-president, Mr. Arnold E. Wolgast, teacher vice-president, Mrs. M. E. Lown, recording secretary, Mrs. John D. Benson treasurer, Mrs. Fred Bowman, corresponding secretary and historian. The association sponsored attendance at the Christmas Pageant for its December meeting. Dr. H. Y. McClusky, University of Michigan, spoke on The Status of the American Youth Today , at the February meeting. Fun Night, the annual school get-together, provides funds for the P-T.

This year a memorial service roll plaque forthe main hall is planned and S550 was given to the community nurses schol- arship fund.
