at Graduation, two chairs shall be in our minds dedicated to our fond memory of them. Never shall we forget their loyal friendship. In this, our noble senior year, we are striving to uphold our reputation of being Hmost honorable. Service for Fenger has been our chief motive and the theme of our high school days. Surely, the Fenger News Staff renders to us one of the greatest items of service-that of preparing and distributing our weekly school paper. Many of our class QAlbert Saxe, Alma Anderson, Marian Schuh, and Teresa Schmidtj aid in this production. Elizabeth Jackman, pianist for the Glee Clubs and many Assembly programs, ranks high in service to her school. The Students' Council is ofiicered by seven from our class, elsewhere mentioned. The library is ably assisted by Marian Schuh, the lunchroom by Lyle La Croix, and the office by Sophie Bartus, Esther Levin, Antoinette Klesen, Ruth Steinman, Lillian Raklovits, Helen Kulan, julia Du Fresne, Florence Fox, and Dorothe Johnson. In fact, all school activity and accomplishments, as you see by looking through this book and too much for me to give in detail, are based on the giving of service. We are glad of the opportunity to offer to Fenger our service in return for the benefit we have derived from it. All of these cham- pionships we have obtained and good times we have had in Fenger have in- spired us to keep up this effort for Fenger. We rejoice in being the largest class Fenger has ever produced and the first one graduating under Principal Schacht. Truly, our four years at Fenger will be memories that will ever live with us. We hope that our teachers may be justly proud of us. For their splendid co-op- eration we are thankful, and hope that, after leaving Fenger's friendly portals, we may be of better service to the world. GREATER CHICAGO SClI-lIOlLASTllC PRESS GUILD In june, 1929, the Greater Chicago Scholastic Press Guild, of which Fenger, represented by Adeline Knapp, is treasurer, was organized to promote better jour- nalism in high school publications in Chicago. At each of their monthly meetings at the Medill School of journalism, Northwestern University, the Guild has a prominent speaker who talks on problems confronting the high school journalistg and after his talk there is open discussion, followed by round tables, each dealing with a different subject. Through the cooperation of the Guild the National Con- vention of the N. S. P. A. was held in Chicago, December 5, 6 and 7. A banquet was given at the Hotel Knickerbocker December 6. The most prominent jour- nalists and writers of the day spoke at various lectures given during the three days at Northwestern University. A student attending these monthly meetings can learn how to make his stories more effective, how to find new sources for material, 'and, especially, how to gain interviews with such prominent people as jane Addams, Frederick Stock, and Donald McMillan. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL The Junior Red Cross Council of Chicago is composed of two student rep- resentatives from every public high school, private academy, and parochial school in Chicago and surrounding territories. Its purpose is to organize and develop better Red Cross service. Meetings are held the first Saturday of each school month at 10:30 A. M. in Room T of the First National Bank of Chicago. The officers are Chairman, Maurice Ramm of Harvard School for Boys, and Secretary, Jeanne Baumgartl of Francis Parker Private School. At the meet- ings the discussion of school plans for Red Cross work, the pledging of indi- vidual service and the hearing of speeches by famous civil workers contribute to the interest of the work. Luncheons are planned usually once every two months for the purpose of helping members to get better acquainted. Dele- gates are chosen by members to represent them at the National Red Cross Con- vention held every year the first week of May at VVashington, D. C. This year three are being sent. In the Council for this year 1929-1930, Fenger's representatives, who were chosen by Miss Campbell, Dean of Girls, were Marian Shirran and Jane Alex- ander. ivflllf
