It was felt that an im- provement could be af- fected if the publication of the newspaper were made the work of a club which met during regular. weekly activity periods. The members of the new Journalism Club were students constantly on the lookout for a seoop . Due to the in- adequate amount of time which weekly meetings provided, there was al- ways a frantic scramble before a deadlineg and all too often. deadlines be- came eonfusinely flexible ' W , , Next. in the checkered career of our school publication. was its in- corporation into the English T class of 19-19. This elective course now found itself with the added function of writing. cuttine, and pasting for the Academocrat. The students worked hard. but their efforts were crowned with interested readers. who were constantly clamoring for the next issue. We can assuredly say that the Academocrat came of age when a new course. Journalism. was added to our curriculum. This course con- cerns itself solely with the study of journalistic writing and the pub- lication of the Academocrat. Under the tutelage of Mrs. Siegel, the stu- dents are studying ways of improv- ing the paper. and are endcavorine to translate their ideas into concrete achievement. S Stelnmerz, S. Meyers, J.

The Academocrat has gone through varying stages of maturation. simul- taneously with that of the Aeadeiny itself. The prom-ess of its establish- ment as an integral part of school life and activities has been an inter- esting and colorful one. From its embryonic stage and extra-currieular status. it has graclually emerged as an organized. essential element of our program. The desire for journalistic expres- sion in the Chicago Jewish Academy student first made itself felt in 1942. just aftei the school was organized. The Press Club was founded to give fulfillment to this need. and the Academy Beacon was born. Al- though eventually the Press Club was disbanded. the school paper had so endeared itself to the stu- dents that it was not possible ever to discontinue it. In 1944. the re- sponsibility for putting out the paper was assumed by a staff of earnest would-be journalists who worked at this special project during their free periods. The name of the paper was then ehzinged to the Acacia-miat-rat . 'S Sain F?
