Croton Harmon High School - Tigers Tale Yearbook (Croton on Hudson, NY)

Page 52 text:

The club planned several extra-curricular activities, but the most exciting event of the season came rather unexpectedly when co-editors were invited to be among those interviewing Mr. john Roy Carlson, author of the best-seller UNDER Covsn, on Station W-N-E-W on Saturday, March 10. Both went to New York looking absolutely petrified and came home with an ecstatic expression on their faces as if they had seen F rank Sinatra in- stead. The Iournalism Club plays a very important part in the school, and we hope it will continue its activities in years to come. Towards the end of the school year of 1943, the sixth grade of the Pierre Van Cortlandt grade school. directed by Miss Dora Eisley, published one issue of its newly formed paper, PIERRE's PEN. lt was an unqualified success, and, but for the shortage of time, other issues might have been printed. The next fall, when this class came to the high school, they were encouraged to keep the paper going. With a little new blood in its veins and rechristened THE INK SPOT, the periodical, under the direction of Miss Marie Vaughn, was issued three times. This was made possible by the cooperation of the CHHS Commercial Club. At the end of the school year, the seventh grade decided to leave the paper to the next seventh grade. In the fall the new staff managed to get out four issues. This year's staff hopes that newer and brighter ideas will be added each year and that the paper will become better as it passes through the hands of each seventh grade class. e y, Ho 1 r Siepheis, Brenda Handforth, Nancy Kroll, Lillian Willis, Allison Crane, Lillian Wilkins, Peggy Fierro.

Since the yearbook had priority on the name TIGER'S TALE, the Iournalism Club is now issuing its publication under the banner of the TIGER CUB. When the club was first organized in the fall with Mrs. Arlene Swanson as a guiding light, nobody felt that it resembled the organization of most newspapers and magazines. Articles sounded like essays: there were no distinguishing special fea: tures, one week, someone might write an editorial and the next, report on boys' sports. To remedy this, Mrs. Swanson ordered textbooks on high school journalism for all the members, and you've probably noticed that several new columns were intro- duced. The first of these was the Inquiring Reporter which got the students' opinions on topics ranging from compulsory military training to girls' wearing blue jeans. Later, when the Reporter ran out of ideas, it was replaced by the Close-Up, short biographical sketches of student council members and class officers, students you probably remember well I not saying whyl. After Christmas vacation, with much arguing over who should be stuck with grade school news and who with the edi- torials, the following permanent staff was chosen: Ruth Dymes and Ann Stopp, co-editors, Laura F romme and Stanya Schwarz- lcopf, high school news: Thelma Fisher, the column: Dorothy Hughes, girls' sportsf Iosi Cignarale, grade school news, and Bud Appleton fby virtue of being the only male member of the staffl, boys' sports.
