.1 x Q.. - .I N CADUCEUSI ' I I THE DIGEST DoR1s RAYMER Beaumont I-Iigh School is a complete community in itself, and like any other community has its own newspaper, the Digest . The Digest has successfully recorded the happenings around Beaumont for the last twelve years. During this time innovations have been made in the style and content of the paper, but the quality and quantity of news found in the Hrst Digest still remains. The Digest in the course of its enviable record has won the International Second Place Award twice from the Medill School of Journalism, and this term has set a new high by getting the greatest number of subscriptions on record. There were 1670 subscribers to the Digest this term, which puts Beaumont, in proportion to the size of its student body, second among the public high-school newspapers in St. Louis. The editorial staff has had to work doubly hard because so many experi- enced writers were lost last term, but the staff has more than maintained the standard set by former editors. Through the combined efforts of Adele Chmiel- ecki and Dorothy Brockhoff, co-writers of the Old Judge: Stanley Schuman, writer of the Personality Column: Marie Koehr, the Girls Athletic Editor: Wiley Hance, the inimitable Snooper columnist: George Bohn and Elwood Rosenkoetter, versatile sports writers: Margaret Siebert and Marline Nininger. A'Things I Saw columnists: Paul Schulze, the Sports Spatter writer, and the rest of the equally invaluable staff, the Digest has turned out some really fine issues. Mr. Birr's continued guidance, the typists' unfailing aid, and the business managers' financial acumen have all helped immeasurably to make the Digest an outstanding success.
