I OURNALI SM This year sixty-six members composed a jour- nalism class that was so large they have divided into two separate groups meeting during the fifth and sixth periods. Fenger never before has had so many students enrolled for this subject. As we all know the purpose of this class is to teach Fengerites the fundamentals of high school journalism, such as writing news-stories, features, editorials, and planning headlines, and page make up. For example, planning headlines is a difficult matter with which they must struggle. It takes time and thought to compose complete, sprightly headlines, to space and number the letters accu- rately, to determine type of print, and to include the correct grammatical principles. These things Page 70 learned, outstanding members are then prepared to join the News Staff. Several students have already shown promise in their writings. Anna Lotz, James Halcombe, and Jewell Keesen wrote splendid news stories. Feature writing has proved that Dorothy Rach- lirz, Ursula Zeiber, and Alice Mae Duncan are talented in this field. Three' writers contributed short stories to John P. Lally's contest in the Daily News. They are George Murdock, Guine- vere Brouillette, and Jean De Young. Through the efforts of Virginia Brehm the class visited the Cuneo Press which had the Gutenberg Exhibi- tion at the World's Fair.

THE FENGER NEWS This year. forty-five members compose the larg- est Fenger News Staff our school has ever had. Under the guidance of Miss Mildred Taylor, it is the work of these outstanding students to gather the material that forms the latest news, features, sports items, personals, and scoops that appear in each weekly issue of the Fenger News. The hours of extra time they spend go far toward making up a paper that ranks high among other Chicago school publications. Correll Julian and Ellen Van Etten are its assignment editors, Jane Jenkinson, managing editor, and Robert Yampol- sky, business manager. The present staff has moved from its former meeting place in Room 131 to 130, which is larger and more convenient. In the new room, tables are now provided for page editors and sinks for staff members, sticky Hngers. The typ- ists too are considered, for they now have sepa- rate desks on which to type their material. Six page publications are now almost a regular feature. Two special issues, out April 16 and 23, were published this semester. One was concerned with che South Side Science Meeting, and the other was on the Clean-Up issue. The staff rewarded its oldest members by send- ing them to the High School journalistic Con- ference at Northwestern University during May vacation.

QUILL AND SCROLL Every year the Fenger chapter of the Quill and Scroll Honor Society sponsors a literary contest throughout Fenger and the three branches. Fol- lowing this custom, the organization, under the supervision of Miss Mildred Taylor, who is the adviser, successfully launched their third annual writers' contest this semester. The contest began during the latter part of March and ended April 13. As usual there were four classes: essays, poems, short stories, and book reports in both junior and senior divisions. The winners in each class re- ceived fountain pens as prizes at an assembly held April 24. The oificers, Alberta Marianelli, presi- dent, Virginia Fallon, vice-president, Ruth Bar- ron, secretary, Correll Julian, treasurer, and Jose- Page 72 phine Pochron, program chairman, wish to ex- press their thanks to those teachers who cooper- ated so kindly and the students who responded so splendidly and helped to make the contest a suc- cess. It is now the aim of the Quill and Scroll, which is sponsoring the completion of the History of Fengerv in collaboration with aspirants to the so- ciety who are on the News Staff, to have this pub- lished in book form by next November, as that is the month of Fenger's 10th anniversary. The journalists who have qualified for Quill and Scroll will be i-nitiated at a tea this semester. The new members must be announced in the next Courier.
