Provides, Vocational Education Candor Central School Paper Receives High State Rating At Syracuse The Broadcaster, mimeograph- ed school paper published month- ly by the students of Candor Central School, won a Class I, All- New York rating at the Empire State School Press Association convention held in Syracuse on November 3-4 when schools throughout the state competed for journalistic recognition. Candor delegates, members of a group 900 strong, were Miss Celia G. Stahl, faculty advisor, Miss Helen Estelle, editor, and Miss Eliza- beth Lohr, assistant editor. Classed according to size, the competing schools have a chance to win one of three awards- Class A, Superior, and All.New York. All-New York, the highest possible rating, is received by very few entries. VanHornesville, an endowed school with a journal- ism class to publish its paper, was the only other All-State win- ner in the small school division this year. Since 1941, Candor has received a Superior rating, being one of three in 1942, and the only one in its class in the state in 1943. Entries are judged by men prominent in the field of journal- ism, headed by Dr. Douglass Mil- ler of the School of Journalism at Syracuse University.

Nov. 3-4, 1944 Pnssioenr Saturday morning Miss Stahl took part in a panel discussion on the mimeographed school paper.

Hench and Mr. Milo Van Hall, newly appoint- ed directors of the Empire State School Press Association. When asked how a small school with few advantages could hope to win an award, Miss Stahl pointed out that Candor has no journalism class, 'that the Broadcaster was printed sheet hy sheet on a hand. fed mimeograph, and that the stencils were cut without a vari- typcr or professional assistancal Several advisors throughout the state commended the Candor dele- gates on their it-can-be-done-nm matter-what attitude. Candor lost but 15 out of a pos- sible 200 points on their rating sheet which was discussed with the judges Saturday morning. Having received a perfect score on the sports page, the feature pages, the editorials and the head- lines, the Broadcaster received the following written comments: Your paper excels in features. May we compliment you on your' headlines? Your sports page is very readable, such as to promote an interest in sports. Your editori- gllpage is attractive and color- u . The Broadcaster was first pub- lished in 1930, under the direction of Mrs. Clara Strong, who has worked with the staff continuous- ly since. Jesse Short was the win- ner of a contest to determine the name. At that time there was but one typewriter in the school and put one typist, D. F. Wells, the principal. The first editor was Mary Rounsevell, with Elizabeth Grippin acting as sophomore re- porter and Catherine Turk as printing manager.

P51yn1ak. ' October, 1944. Here comes the old ink dobber, Janie. Oh my, how time flles. This is the 15th year that the Broadcaster has been published. That perslstant staff is still working for uAll-State.n I'm with them lock, stock and barrel. Today is Monday--could easily be called blue Monday, for word was received that the contest issue must be mailed to the judges by next Monday and there are only three days of school this week. If it has to be done, it can be done. Yes, l'am old and somewhat feeble. Well maybe a few reinforcements will help--for instance, a new ink pad. Dld you ever try to work hard when your respiratory system ls clogged? I thought not. An ink pad may be hard to put on but I will be able to make that contest issue clearer and more readable with a new one. ----------------- ---- Thanks! Oh, oh, here they come with that first stencil. Pardon me lf I get too greedy and take more than one sheet of paper at a time. I am not able to control my emotions. Why I am so happy to print these pages that with an extra twitch somewhere, the finished pro- duct turns a sumersault in sympathetic joy. --------what, done already? Good things like this don't come often. It ls hard to give them up and go back to a llfe of seclusion. l knew lt---there they go tucking me ln: that old lnky rag in my side pocket, a twist and punch in my tummy, to make me stop per- culatlng, and worst of all that old hood suf- focating me. A long month of anxious waiting has passedg the proud delegates have bounded back with an UAII-Staten certificate. The whole school is rejoicing and 1 am still on my post in the commercial room waiting to produce the future lssues of the Broadcaster to the best ofmy ability. I wish to remain a permanent part of the Broadcaster staff but will regretfully hand over my position to a newer, better and more economical machine after the war.

Music 19Lul-19145 Musically speaking, the school year fea- tured two events, a Christmas program and the annual spring concert. These programs ln- cluded the orchestra, the high school glee club, and two newly organized choruses of grade students. The Grade Choir, fifty voices from the third, fourth and fifth grades, and the Junior Glee Club of seventh and eighth grade girls, had their first season. .Nearly 150 students participated in the Christmas program, presenting music from Hansel and Gretel, an old English carol- lng scene, and a cathedral scene. What it is hoped will become the C.C.S. band'made an enthusiastic if not musically perfect start by playing at basketball games, with the help of alumni. Soloists and ensembles from these organ- izations performed at many school and commu- nity functions such as Community Club, speak- ing contest, Boy Scout banquet, senior play W'-21NLS.fP'?41'i 'K' Q, 'W' - t K ' t 7 57EkEl6Qf and assembly programs. Many members of the choruses sing in their church choirs, a service their musical training will help them perform even after graduation. At this writing, several students plan to enter the Sectional Finals at Endicott in May. , New Stage Lights Since October of last year, new stage lights have been installed in the auditorium. These lights are in two rows, made up of red, orange, yellow, and blue lights. The lights can be dim ed for various lighting effects which may be desired. Certainly, this is a splendid improvement. This addition of equipment has been a long time coming. Mr. McCune stated that we couldn't have everything at once, and that we had to wait for the lights. The stage curtains have been cleaned and rehung. This, also, is a marked improvement in appearance.
