Mi»s Rebekah Coppedge Margie Talbott Royster Lyle Pat Foley Doris Thompson Business Advisor Editor-in-Chief A deer thing Manager Circulation Manager Associate Editor To be well remembered in ihe future by any Green Duck are the hours he spent in the Pressroom, striving to release his brain children. “What’s a synonym for irresistible—why can’t I think of a headline of twenty-five units instead of twenty- nine—do you gel my meaning in that sentence—Equally unforgettable were the good times that rolled out of that room— the jokes, the clowning, the carefree fun enjoyed by the Green Ducks and by the visitors” who were always dropping in. They'll remember those Wednesday mornings when Mrs. Hill was at the printer's, and the rush of those Friday afternoons when The Chatterboxes were distributed. All staff members belong to the Press Club, whose symbol is the Green Duck. Among the functions of this club arc the sponsorship of the Bunny Girl contest and of High School Day at Herman’s, both of which provide funds for the paper. At the close of the school year, the Press Club has a banquet featuring talks by professional journalists and other guests. 25

Mrs. Nora Payne Hill First Roto: Bam, Penn. Watson, Woody, Thompson, Terry, Schuster, Thompson, Nostrandt. Second Row: Saunders, Green, Howard, Kinser, Culpepper, Stembridge, Schwem, Woodall, Brown. Third Rous: Eggleston. Wilson, Hamblin, Moses, Dickenson, Viccellio, Cox, Smith. Wheatley, Cloutier, Garrett, Owen, Hilliard, Talbott, Barnes, Foley, Lyle. These are the wretches—the not so miserable wretches whose efforts made possible this year’s Chatterboxes. Sometimes the going was rough, but they could usually pull through, and there was always Mrs. Hill to encourage them, to keep everything going, to bear the heaviest part of the load. Since its birth in 1922, The Chatterbox has become one of the most distinguished high school newspapers in the country. Under Mrs. Hill's guidance, it has constantly maintained the highest journalistic standards, and that is quite an accomplish- ment in view of the many and varied talents which have served the paper through the years. Knowing what it had to live up to. this year’s crop of young writers worked very hard to remain on top. 24

HI-Y Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living is the platform of the Beta Hi-Y Club. Composed of twenty-five members, it meets weekly on Tuesday nights at the Y. M. C. A. The purpose of the Club is to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The group has been a very active organization this year. Among the projects have been the sponsorship of open houses at the Y. W. C. A. in conjunction with the Flotilla Club and the sale of magazine subscriptions to raise money for social functions. Officers this year were Jimmy Pattisall, treas- urer; Randolph Hall, vice-president; Larry Wil- son. president; and Jones Cox, secretary. These boys were chosen by popular vote of their fellow- members for leadership at the meetings and out- side activities. With the help of a committee, they decided on a bill to be proposed at the Model General Assembly meeting held in Rich- mond during April. Delegates were sent from Danville to the convention.
