Dear Dad, How about sending me an extra fve this week? I told you about making the Eastern States Conferf ence and we're leaving this week for four days at New York. THE HARRISBURG DELEGATION is led by chairman Ed Bergstein. Every year a different plan educates the forty odd delegations in some phase of government. Last year it was a model one house legisf lature. This year the conference takes the form of a model political conventiong but this group isn't the only one that makes trips. Every year at least five REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS go to New 'York to the Eastern States Conference. Fifteen fel- lows and fifteen girls are selected by a studentffaculty poll on the basis of service to the school, scholarship, and a lot of other qualifications and from that group the delegates are chosen. One of the fellows I run around with here at school belongs to Dr. Keller's- DEBATE CLUB. Its major trip takes four boys out thru the eastern part of the state. This year the squad met debaters at Lock Haven, Su-squehena U., Kutzf town, Albright, and Shippensburg. Other trips in' cluded. debates at Fairmont, Slippery Rock, and Seton Hill while other colleges were met on the cam' pus. Early in the season a high school clinic was conf ducted. That's when I saw the gang from our high school. The club always winds up its season with a number of discussions before district service clubs and a banquet. Be that as it may-I still need the jive dollars. Affectionately, BILL I of expense j. 26

Dear lim, I've been sending you copies of the school news' paper. Last week I took a few pictures and here are the prints. HAMMER AND TONGS work is pretty interest' ing to the people lined up behind the typewritersg at least there must be something to motivate work in hitting deadlines week after week. The staff is headed by Grayce Skinkis, managing editor, assisted by page editors, star reporters, cub reporters, and faculty ad' viser C. M. Hughey. The goal of the group is mem' bership in the Council of School Newspaper Advisers after five semesters labor on the paper. C. S. N. A. signijies certification for advisorship on any school newspaper staff. Council members receive a certificate and a gold key as well as a trip to various conferences for two members every year. All in all it's a goal worth working for. Beside getting ready for the annual dinner dance the council also advises budding journalists on the H. 59, T. That takes care of the news end.- MONOCAL work is a little different. It has one publication date. Advised by Mr. Hurst, the nucleus of the staff is chosen by the Iunior Class when they elect an editor and business manager. The remainder of the staff is chosen from the student body by the editor. George Roadman is editor this yearg Don Croushore is business manager. 25
