Since 1914 the E.H.S. News has served as the official news organ of Eugene High, and few preceding years have been so suc- cessful as this latest. Under Michael Cal- lahan, editor-in-chief, the News had set several records by Christmas of 1945. Of a total of six papers issued up to that time, four had been six pages long, one had been eight pages, and the Christmas issue was no less than twelve pages. Heretofore no E.H.S. News staff has published more than two six-page issues per year, and never before has any issue been more than six pages long. The Eugene High column in the Register-Guard was also written by staff members. Except for the editor, who holds his posi- tion through all the school year, the staff of the paper changes each semester. As- sistant editor of the News for the first se- mester was Paul Agerter. His successor in the second semester, a iunior, is slated to be editor-in-chief for the following school year. The paper is published every two weeks, Round Table Discussion except holiday periods, by the iournalism class, under the direction of Miss Juliette Gibson. All members of the E.H.S. News staff also serve on the Business staff, with other students who wish to serve only on that force. Each advertising solicitor was as- signed a regular beat in the downtown business section to be covered for each issue of the paper. Business Manager for the year has been Don Orchard. FIRST ROW: J.

Some fea- tures considered non-essential were sacrificed to make room for the more important items, but some innovations were also made. This year has also seen the staff acquire a press camera, which was paid for bya movie pay as- sembly, and doubly paid for itself through much usage. The staff was reduced in size by al- most half, and this made more work for everyone, but as each did his share, matters moved more calmly than might be expected. To every teacher and student who aided the least bit in the publication, the staff extends its thanks, hoping they like the results of the year's efforts. 2.1 Ex sflgg gs :txt Stan Turnbull, Adv.

af 46 STANDING: O. Mickelson. H. Wright, V. McHenry, N. Robertson. SIT- TING: A. Raisanovsky. D. Moll. With June and graduation rapidly ap- proaching, the Class of '46 paused for a moment in its upward climb to look briefly over the past three years. Some of them have seen the fulfillment of their dreams, and others are slightly awed by the fact that they made it. To all of them these years have been happy ones. Class officers during that first uncertain sophomore year were Art Johnson, presi- dent, Willy Dodds, vice-president, and Har- riet Vannatta, secretary. The class gave a sport dance in the spring, the theme of which was Springtime Swingtime. lt was the most successful financially and in attendance of any of the dances held that year. Its success during that year and the two following is attributed to the able guid- ance and leadership of its advisers, Mrs. Robertson and Mr. Mickelson. Although their patience was sorely tried at times, they, with the class, weathered the many stormy committee sessions and activities carried on by the class. 2 Their junior year was one of outstand- ing success, beginning with Sadie Haw- kins' Week in October. The next event was The Holly Folly, the annual Junior Dance, which was held in December. The climax of activities came with the presen- tation of the Junior-Senior Prom, Blue Grotto, which was acclaimed to be among most original and beautiful in years. The class was led through this year by Wesley Nicholson, president, Dick Mack, vice-pres- ident, Janis McCoy, secretary, and Gene Heany, treasurer. Then came September, 1945, and the beginning of the senior year. The officers chosen for this period were Dick Moll, pres- ident, Alex Riasanovsky, vice-president, Helen Wright, secretary, and Virginia Mc- Henry, treasurer. The Senior Dance, The Blue Moon, was held in November. Now the class is looking forward to June 6, 1946, the climax of high school days, and is confident that the future will be as rich with success and enjoyment for them as the past has been.
