Martin enacted “The Strawberry Roan”. John Gians sang “Twilight on the Trail.” We hope to acquire better singing voices and better pronunciation while singing. — John Gians WIZARD EDITORS y 1 1 he editors met every Wednesday during the ninth period to discuss methods of making the Wizard interesting to all the pupils. Mrs. Virginia Martin was their faculty adviser and acte d as chairman of the meetings. Many things were discussed. The class editors were always anxious to obtain good sugg stions from their classmates. They endeavored to make our school book more popular. They took notes and reported the work as it progressed to their class-rooms. It was decided that the theme of the book would be “Hobbies”. This was chosen primarily because it would interest all children in the school. An effort was made this term to have more pictures of school activities. We were pleased to have every advisory picture in our Wizard With all the effort, thought, and work spent in making the Wizard, the staff felt confident that it would please all the pupils. — Muriel Cuneo. WIZARD COLLECTORS -tj very class has a Wizard Collector. We meet every Tuesday during the ninth J period, with Mrs. Skimmings, and discuss many things such as, what percent of the classes have subscribed, and how to get more subscriptions. The goal of each collector is to get seventy-five percent of his or her class to subscribe. If the class gets these subscriptions, they have their enlarged picture in the Wizard. Subscriptions are ob- tained from pupils, advisory teachers, and other members of the faculty without an ad- visory. During the meeting we make a report on subscriptions, money collected, and money due. We give Mrs. Skimming all the money we have collected, and as our faculty advisor, she keeps the money on hand to finance the Wizard. Each subscriber to the V . izird gets the News every Friday. The collectorsde- liver these to each advisory. It is the responsibility of each collector to see that each sub- scriber gets his or her Wizard, at the end of the term. The Wizard collectors are: Lucy Adams, Phyllis Burns, Ralph Cornelia, Alice Chapman, Arthur Cordova, Norman Demmg, Mary Helen Dunlap, Le Roy Fisher, Mar- garet Green, Jack Grant, Lorraine Johnson, Nettie Mercurio, Evelyn Patterson, Barbara Rodger, DorothyRodger, Anna Louise Rudzenia, Donna Jean Slater, Evon Silva, Dorothy Schaefer, Earl Santos, Constance Steele, William Stevenson, William McIntosh, Lois Wuagneux, and Mary Yamashiro. — Mary Yamashiro
