The editor for this year is Jennine Featherston; assistant editor. Bill Champion; secretary. Virginia Coffman. Donita Campbell is literary editor; Barbara Spencer and Barbara Welsh are feature and humor editors. Sports and art editors are Sally Gamer and Joan Morrison. Dorothy Sherwood. Caroline Reinders. Colleen Cain, and Pauline Oltmanns are the typists. Re- porters from all four classes make up the rest of the staff. This year, for the first time, the Inkspot is offered to the school alumni. The sub- scription rate is fifty cents for the year. This money is used for mailing issues and also for the journalism awards given at the end of the year. These awards are given on the basis of the number of years on the staff, the amount of articles written, the quality of the articles and the interest taken in the “Inkspot.” The main project of the year was to put out a “Basketball Booklet.” This was made up of a summary of games during the year, history of the players, and yearly averages.

These eight students elected Forest Dewar (sen- ior), president; Dick Leary (junior), vice-president; and Helen Fleming (sophomore), secretary-treasurer. All the members were active in the other organizations in school. The most important job of the Student Conucil was the sale of Victory stamps and bonds, which were sold every Friday noon. At the beginning of the year, pledge cards were passed out to all the students in school, and they were asked to make their pledge for the year. Then a contest was started to learn which classes would buy the most. The two classes that were low gave a party for the winners. This kept the interest and helped the students to remember to keep their pledges. The March of Dimes, held the last week of February, was won by the senior and sophomore classes. Over twenty-four dollars was contributed on this date. One of the jobs left from last year was the naming of the basketball team. All the students were given a chance to enter a name. With the help of Mr. Haire and the coach, the name “Tigers” was chosen. Twenty-«even
