Participants in this con- test, sponsored by the Belles Lettres Society and the Penn State Student Government, were Leanne Bereznak, who read a selection in the poetry competition: Anita Herbener, who read in the drama competitiong and Alice Piazzi, who placed second in the prose category. This was the fourth year that Free- land students, under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Shulman, have par- ticipated in this event and have won awards. A. Piazzi, A. Herbner, Mrs. Shulman Cadvisorj, L. Bereznak, Newspaper Correspondents The function of the news- paper correspondents is to write a weekly column for the Standard-Speaker. Each week two F.H.S. students, Alice Piazzi and Maureen Yori, under the direction of their new advisor, Miss Louise Lowery, were responsible for meeting a Monday deadline. Not only did these students gain valuable experience in journalism, but they also were instrumental in making the public more aware of school activities. 84 F19 K A tx k gram .1 .KU ' 4 aj, fa, f T L? rv S . 4 ' ' M.
