SCHOOL AIDS COMMUNITY SERVICES Striving for the 100 per cent mark is the goal of all Hillite advisories in community service projects. IN THE ARTHUR HILL WAY students in the past year contributed time, money, and above all, food for the needy both in America and in Europe. Under the leadership of the fifty-four ad- visory student Red Cross representatives, a student Red Cross committee, and Miss F. Alison Spence, their sponsor, collected 3537.26 for junior membership in the first campaign of the year. A Benefit Dance staged November 7, at which Dance Band members gave half their regular pay or STO, contributed fundsg Latin and Spanish Club students donated 35. Twenty-nine Arthur Hill students spend their spare time as City Red Cross Staff assistants doing volunteer work. Given a special training course which covers the his tory and program of the Red Cross, the stu- dents contribute hours after school and Sat- urdays doing filing, typing, and errands. Coinciding with the Victory Bond Drive in December when Hillites bought or sold a total of 524,325 in Bonds, Christmas seals for the National Tuberculosis Drive were given to advisories where Hillites accounted for SISO worth of stamps. In April, Saginaw police visited Arthur Hill offering students an opportunity to pur- chase their bicycle licenses. Approximately three hundred took advantage of this con- venience. Near the end of school each advisory answered United Nations Relief and Re- habilitation pleas for canned food for Europe's starving millions. Witli the slogan One Can Can Help! Student Cabinet members took the drive to heart and aimed for one can of food from each student. To finish the year, IN THE ARTHUR HILL STYLE-every student did just tht, and some brought more than one can. Money, turned into merchandise, was added and boxed for overseas shipment.

GERALDINE BERENT, LORRAINE ESCKILSEN, and EDNA BAIN tabulate attendance records, MARIE ZEHNDER and CORNELIA SCHIBELHUT help MR. B. G. WELLS, school treasurer, MARJORIE ENSZER is secretary to Mr. David Gainey, athletic manager. OFFICE ASSISTANTS Assisting with duties about school, stu- dents share the work which keeps the Arthur Hill school in good running order. Students help as secretaries, messengers, hostesses, clerks, and librarians. Senior hostesses respond to the visitor's query, 'lls Mr. Brock in? or one of the office staffs, Will you deliver this request slip, please? The hostesses make school visitors comfortable and welcome and help the office staff in various ways. Six senior girls served as hostesses this year in the Community PROVE VALUABLE Room adjoining the office. The girls wrote letters of application and were chosen on the recommendation of teachers and Miss Ethel Peterson, according to their personality, poise, and scholarship. The student store is one of the many ser- vices afforded to students of Arthur Hill. The salesgirls give up library hours and are selected for their sales interest, ability, and personal reliability. Arthur Hill's library with an ever increas- ing book circulation provides students with easily accessible reference and reading facil- ities. With many books still on order, librar- ians have kept themselves busy during the past year cataloging and classifying new books. Special projects consisted of Book- Week, posters, and special displays of sports books and vocational stories. During their study periods, students work voluntarily as library assistants. While most Hillites are still deep in slum- ber, seven girls making up the Service Club trudge to school to arrive at 7:30 a.m. Their one, but necessary, duty is to keep students out of halls, classrooms, and lockers until the 8:00 bell rings. Gold Pins for recognition are given as a reward for two years of service and all club members are given free Student Organization tickets. Girls who assist in secretarial and book- keeping work gain useful experience in ol'- fice work, such as taking dictation, typing, filing, and mimeographing, which will be helpful when they become regular employees after graduation. Student assistants are used in the main office, the journalism room, the school treasurer's office, athletic managers office and do a great deal of school work in the advanced commercial classes.

5, I te Keeping books on pictures and money of small pictures for the journalism department are GEORGE BURROWS and JEAN BARNEY. The Arthur Hill NEWS staff listens to editor NANCY HENRY for advice on NEWS assignments. Staff members-eleft to right around the copy desks: LE MYRTA KALTENBACH, reporter, JEAN WRIGHT, editorial and poll editor, IRIS HEILBRONN, reporter, BOB HASSELMAN, typist, JOANNE ELLIS and MARI- LYN DOLLENS, editorial editors, PHIL TOWNLEY, sports editor, BILLIE CARPENTER, advertising manager, JOHN BAUM, associate editor, and JUNE BREITAG, business manager. PUBLICATIONS: Inform, School publications and publicity offer in- formation and a record of high school days to the students, the school and the commu- nity. Staff members busily ferret out the news and hurry to meet copy deadlines so that students may have a bi-weekly news- paper and a yearbook. Eighty students worked on publicity proj- ects during the past year. Each reporter was assigned to a beat for which he was given special assignments and was responsible for covering all of the news connected with his job. Seriousness, yet gaiety, prevails among staff members. Reporters work before, after, dur- ing, or between classes on their assignments. jokes and pranks, such as, during the holiday season when their ingenuity was evident in the improvised Christmas tree made from a broom, are an every day occurrence and add to the informal atmosphere. Honors came when in recompense for their work the news staff was informed that .J-. 14 Entertain, Record the school paper won first place in its classi- fication in the annual judging by the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association in March, and the same award from the National Scholastic Press Association in April. Long hours of concentrated work produced the 1946 LEGENDA. Seniors and juniors found picture-getting, financing, plus ideas, and considerable Writing were necessary to produce a book which would give a picture of the year 1945-46 as lived at Arthur Hill. Each departmental job takes weeks of con- scientious effort. Other publicity projects of journalism stu- dents in rooms 116 and 117 were the Service Honor Roll Board and file, the announce- ment board of the weekly schedule, and the publicity board display of current city and state newspaper publicity on the school, which, when taken from the board, makes up the publicity book, a permanent file. The NEWS, a member of the National Institute of Student Opinion sponsored by Scholastic Magazine, participated in thirteen nation-wide polls. The polls were distributed, collected, and tabulated by journalism stu- dents for their use and also sent to SCHOLAS- TIC to be compiled with returns from other schools for a national picture published by SCHOLASTIC. School photography falls to the journalism students interested in the camera. They re- ceive assignments from the publications edi- tors, faculty members and the adviser. In turn, the photography editor placed detailed picture schedules in the school bul- letin before the time that the pictures were taken and made arrangements with the fac- ulty and students concerned. A student photographer accompanied all commercial photographers to assist them and learn what they could on the job. Through the aid of the journalism depart- ment, the Detroit TIMES photographers took some thirty pictures about the school to make a full page spread of Saginaw,s Model High School and made possible pages 4 and 5 in the Legenda. LEGENDA staff looks to DON STONE for yearbook assignments.
