T. H. S., was organized this fall and the first issue published in October, l945. lt has been published monthly throughout the year. The paper is sponsored by the fourth year English class, however material from all students is used. The faculty sponsor is Miss Allison who is responsi- ble for its organization. The editorial staff is composed of: Gene Haney, editor-inechief, Delores Ernstg Marianna Ritchey, Howard Rigg, and Eugene Hake. The purpose of the Arthurian is to bring a vivid description of all phases of school life to the reader. A paper of this kind also helps to develop value able journalistic ability in the reporters. Such items as the Knights' Observa- tions and the Round Table make each issue doubly interesting to the reader. On October l3 several Arthurian staff members, accompanied by Miss Allison, attended an interesting program at the lllinois State High School Press Associations annual meeting in Champaign. This is a state conference attended by all Illinois high school journalists. By use of lectures and movies, students learned many new valuable methods of journalism. The Arthurian is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association which annually sponsors an all-American National Critic Contest. The paper has been entered in this contest, however results of the rating will not be received until April. Q4 32 bb
