Students Spend In Dormont High School Many students working together produce the Dormonitor, our school newspaper. This news- paper could be compared to a huge tree, con- sisting of many small branches: these are its re- porters. Each reporter is given an assignment which he carries out with efficiency. The Dor- monitor must and does meet its deadlines, for its monthly appearance is never interrupted. The paper contains such items as sports articles, fashion notes, editorials, exchanges, and school assembly writeups - in short, good reading ma- terial for everyone. In addition to these regular articles, the paper features special writeups in honor of such holidays as Christmas and Easter. The fact that the paper has a high rating in the high school publications division is proof that it has attained its goal. Each student, from fresh- man to senior, looks forward with eagerness to Dormonitor-distribution day and is pleased with D. Moore and G. Diomataris help I..

Torch and Dormonitor Document The Years D. M. Burton works carefully on the underclass section while j. Keller. Editor-in-chief. gives H. Mt-Nfillan pointers on a sports write-up. The close of a school year means many things to different people. To the Freshman, it is the comple- tion of the first year of a new experience. To the Seniors, it is the end of' four years of study, work, and fun: the finish of preparation for college, a job, or the armed services. The doeumentors of these years spent in Dormont are the members of' the TORCH staff. They are the ones who give the student the book which will aid in recalling one's classmates, activities, and teachers. Our school, in proportion to its size, is exception- ally active. There is always much going on. From sports and extracurricular activities to Varieties, Mus- icale, and assemblies, its pupils are kept very busy indeed. Yet it is all in this book, recorded for the years to come, there to be remembered and fondly read over and over again. That, simply, is the purpose and accomplishment of' the TORCH, to aid us in remembering those years that come only once in a lifetime, our years in high school. as B. Northam makes SllgCSli0llS to j.

F T.A., National Honor, and Student Council The Future Teachers of America Club, the National Honor Society, and the Student Coun- cil are organizations which, though varied in duties, are united in purpose. That purpose is to produce amiability, cooperation, and signs of leadership among students. These groups help their members to grow-up and to assume new responsibilities and new attitudes. The Future Teachers of America Club, in its second year at the high school, has done much to better the average student's view about the teaching profession. During the year the Club has visited Indiana State Teachers College and has given some ol' its senior members an oppor- tunity to teach in the primary grades. National Honor Society is an organization composed ol students who have shown signs of leadership and integrity as well as scholastic ability during their three or Your years at Dor- mont. Membership in the Society is awarded to deserving students at the end of their junior or senior years. This membership represents a just reward for successful achievement. The Society worked on a handbook this year, which it hopes to use in years to come. Student Council acquaints its members with student government and its diverse activities. Each report room has one representative, with the exception of senior-report rooms, which have two. The Council manages the hall guard apf pointments and the Christmas tree fund. It supervises and provides records for noon dancing. From the proceeds of the magazine campaign, Student Council purchases a much-needed piece of equipment for the school. The honor given each representative has been justilied by his con- scientious eliorts to make our school a better place in every way. Row 5: E. H1'llCll, R. Nichols, A. Dedcrich E. Gee. Row sl: NI.
