Q 4 K Lu W-,fe A ' The Fairmontonian That the spirit of change has filtered through the material side of our new Fair' mont is evident in the changed style of issuing the Fairmontonian. Last year the Journalism Club had complete control of issuing the paper while this year a form of cooperative publishing was introduced and has met with favorable success. All the news items and content of the Fairmontonian are written as class assignments in the Journalism class, the best in the class being taken for the paper while in the com' mercial department the typing and 'stenciling necessary to the pr' ting is done by outstanding typists and individuals of the class together with lvissjindrews and Mr. Somers. As instructor of Journalism, Miss Beck selects the best articles and reserves them for publishing in the Fairmontonian as well as the Dayton papers, for all publicity of the schooliis handled by the class. Due to increased activities made possible by the new building the Fairmontonian has been issued only quarterly during the year, the papers in each case being larger in content than last year. That the Fairmontonian is a success is made evident by the check for twenty dollars which was awarded as first prize for the fall issue entered in the nation' wide contest for school papers held by the Rotospeed Company. The Fairmonton' ian was selected as the best paper of its kind from representatives from all over United States. The work this year, cooperative publishing of the Fairmontonian, was a new ex' periment along the lines of issuing school papers and many outstanding pointers were discovered, which, instilled in the paper next year will meet with great success.

Third row: lCarl Creager,ARussell Bigler, Mr. Prass, Garnett Stewart, and Ralph Manning. The Fairmont Student Council began its third year of participation in school activities by choosing Garnett Stewart as president to guide the organization for the year. Russell Bigler was chosen vice president and Ted Hersh, secretary. On October 20, the members of the association took the oath of oflice and pledged themselves to work for the best interest of the school without regard for personal glory. Since the premier organization, Mr. Prass has led the council through the diflif culties and problems that affronted these representatives of various classes and it was upon his suggestion that the group strove this year to better the sportsmanship of Fairmont. In the infancy of the council it was thought that it would eventually result in a form of student government but this idea was not advanced this year when the student court issue was vetoed. As students we are constantly aware of this organization. The gymnasium has been decorated for games, there has been an information desk estabf lished, members have taken charge of the pep assemblies, and a general feeling of good will has been promoted. This group has gone far in establishing a closer contact between the student body and the governing powers of the school. 28 Eat-
