64 V W RISE OF JOURNALISM CHAPTER FOUR PUBLICATIONS The Publications Committee this year has tried to organize more thoroughly the printing of the Bush Barometer. Two periods a week were given to the committee in which, under the direction of Mrs. Stephens, the planning and editing of each issue took place. It was difficult at first to get together a staff, all members of which could meet at the same time. When this problem was overcome the selected group had to organize itself into an efficient body. The first semester, under the editorship of Jana Pratt, the Bush Barometer was published once a week. Joan Frayn proved to be in- valuable as far as the dirty work of stenciling and mimeograph- ing was concerned. Sana Harrah made a good feature editor and Barbara Ludberg faithfully supplied the gossip column, so vital to the popularity of the Barometer. The mid-year changing of commit- tees caused. quite a bit of confusion out of which finally emerged Barbara Peyser as editor in chief. She and her staff published the paper once every two weeks, with Kay Black as feature editor, Virginia King and Evelyn Locke as star reporters. The hope of both staffs is that their work this year will con- tribute to the progress of next year's Barometer.

66 f A AMAZON ASPIRATIONSL CHAPTER FIVE SPORTS The guiding hand behind the after school athletic program this year was the Sports Committee, which, headed by Muscles Donworth and Janis Kerr, organized all the team and individual tournaments. Volleyball, soccer, basket- ball, badminton, baseball, and tennis were the most popular games, but ping- pong, serviceball, and a modified version of bowling went the rounds occas- ionaly. Arousing the most competition and enthusiasm among the classes was basketball, for everyone looked forward to Dad's Night. That evening the Juniors and Freshmen tangled in the championship basketball game and al- though the ninth graders played hard, they were overcome by the juniors who took the laurels for the second time in a row. At the intermission the fathers and seniors provided much entertainment with a lively and somewhat unconventional basketball game. Unaccustomed as they were to girls' rules the Dads managed to overpower the seniors by a score of 22 to 16. It was indeed a wonder that the sports program was able to survive the year because the question of who was to have the gym when was a weighty problem. In the end, after much debating, the lower school boys consented to giving it up one afternoon a week and triumphantly turnout continued on Mondays. A big maroon B was the reward for those who faithfully attended, showed improvement, and were cooperative at the afternoon sports program. MTN y . N J: mqxrf- -' 1 X, P.. W i s I .6 564 f .f,' ff .,.
