But as the progress of this yearls club is recorded there is one realistic effort that will stand out. This is the waste paper campaign waged by members of the club in the interest of National De- fense. Many tons of old newspapers and magazines were collected and sold to factories which remade them into defense products. The proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. Although handicapped by the loss of our sponsor, J. Boyd Finney, who accepted a civil service position in the army air corps at the close of the first semester, Mr. Hines and Mr. Chestnut stepped into his position and finished the term. The Hi-Y cooperated with the Girl Reserve club by sponsoring a sweetheart party during the Valentine season and in operating the concession stand at the football stadium. During the membership drive aspir- ants were treated to a watermelon feedtand later in the season club members and their fathers enjoyed an in- formal chili supper in the gymnasium. 21-

OUITILI l.S'l7'L Top Row Francis Fowler Jim Morris, Edwin Cooke, Betty Lenington, Bob McCall, Bill Holloway, Front Row Earl Shurtz Rachel Young, Louise Williams, Joan Power, Margaret Gurley, Jim Jones, With seventeen journalistic inspired students pledg- ing themselves whole heartedly to the task of putting out a better-than-ever school paper, the B. H. S. Life reached a new high in success. A list of over forty downtown subscribers added to the twenty-six mailed exchanges gave the Lifey' a wider circulation than ever before. Fifty per cent of the All School Play proceeds went to the Journalism department, and they in turn undertook the play's advertising campaign. A policy of courtesy was adopted, the staff endeav- ored to express and stress within all four pages of the paper every phase of courtesy which would be more attractive for high school students to possess. A special effort t-o give equal publicity to all school activities and organizations, not bending over backwards for a select few, was another yearly policy adopted by the staff. The Life served not only as a 'source of enjoyment a.nd in- formation but also, which is of greater importance, :is a permanent record for future years. This is, perhaps, the only accurate statement of school life available in years to come. . No account of the Journalism department would be complete without mentioning the help and advice which Miss Kirtland, sponsor, gave for the betterment of this yea.r's paper. Through thick 'n' thin she slaved as hard as the staff to put out the reputable paper that the B. H. S. Life was. 23
