Its June edition is this year book. The monthly copies were duplicated at the high school by the students with the assistance of Miss Collins and Mrs. McKey. Starting with the December issue, printed covers were used, which added to the attractive- ness of the magazine. Some of the features have been Mrs. Anthony's i'Advice to the Love- lorn, a monthly write-up of a college, 'iMeet Your Teachers' interviews, and a comic strip, Sandy the Sea Gull, drawn by t'Starr Fish. Mary Richardson was replaced in February by Dorothy Randall as business manager. The year book subscription and advertising drive was held in March. It was highly successful and was followed by a record hop at which Vir- ginia Schwab and Willard Barclay were crowned Queen and King, re- spectively, of the popularity contest held in connection with the drive. At an assembly following the drive, prizes were awarded to Stanley Nightingale, who sold the most advertisements, to Marcia Eckersley and Lawrence Lovell, the runners-up, to Barbara Nathan for selling the most subscriptions, and boxes of chocolates to the ninth and twelfth grades for being one hundred per cent in subscriptions to the year book.
