WITH THE TIMES Miss Jessup is helping her journalism class meet their dead-line for the school newspaper. This year the INKLINGS was changed from a hi-weekly to a weekly pub¬ lication.

Put out by the single journalism class, the paper attempted to cover every phase and section of school activity, including for the first time in its beat, the junior high school. The Inklings also held active membership in the National Scholastic Press Association and Indiana High School Press Association.

The former fifth graders, 44 in number, from Timothy Ball transferred directly to the High School instead of South Ward for the sixth grade, and their classes are held in what was formerly the Agriculture Room. Our sixth graders use the area immediately in back of the library as a play area. Their school hours are much the same as the high school’s, commencing at 8:30 and concluding at 3:40.

All the students feverishly planned for and eagerly collected all movable and b urnable objects with which to feed the fire. Page eighteen IN KEEPING
