In the midst of meeting press deadlines, the Columns staff celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a special edition and a party at the Ptedanga. For the first time in its history, the paper received a first class honor rating from the National Scholastic Press Association for the year 1944-45. Complete modernization began this year when Bill Mattick took over as both editor and printer, one of the very few high school students in the United States to act in this double capacity. The Columns sponsored a safety campaign and received a second and third place award in the Washington Automobile Club Safety Essay Contest for two editorials written by Don Petersen, feature editor. The new driving school was started as a result of this campaign. Miss Smith, who first acted as Columns adviser last year, continued this year.

The Skookum Wa Wa has been a tradition since it was first published in 1909. This yearis edition was the work of the newly organized annual class. The change from the traditional six sections to the three divisions represents but one of the staffs innovations. Among others are the padded covers, sewed binding, double-page balanced layouts, and the illustrated calendar. The staff has also tried to achieve similarity of dress for the junior and senior portraits. In addition, from cover to cover, the staif has attempted, in word and picture. to portray teen-age life at CHS. The Hartley and Evernden studios made the seniors' and teachers' portraits and Virginia Plummer, the division pages. The rest of the pictures represent the photographic skill of Mr. Scates, faculty photographer, who also spent his leisure time doing the darkroom work.
