Signing up for the Optimist- Joan and Rollis The Pepster's out in room 217- Miss Dirks, teacher International honor society for high school journalists- that's Quill and Scroll. All members must be in the upper third of their class and have done superior work in writing, editing, or business manage- ment. With Miss Esther Leino as adviser, Central's chapter has had an active year. Coverage, creativeness, editing, features, head-lines, news writing, page make-up, balance, photog- raphy-these are a few of the headaches of the Pepster and Optimist staffs. But hard work always pays-as was proved by the Pepster's high rating of All-American for two consecutive years. It was great fun to publish an eight-page edition at Christmas. A new feature of the paper this year was the Letters to the Editor, in which criticisms, complaints, and praise of the school were expressed by students. Central's first annual was born in 1905 and was christened the Knocker. From then on it bore various titles until in 1917 it was permanently named the Optimist. This year the diligent staff looked Through the Looking-Glass for the '49 theme. With true ambition they worked to raise more money so that they could provide the annual with the luxury of a padded cover-something the Optimist hasn't had before. All set for initiation are old and new members of Quill and Scroll-back row: C. Emmerich, J. Sorvig, M. Vraa, M. Fylling ivice presidentl, A. Wright, E. Huotte, B. Rude lpresidentl. D. Wermager, S.
