Quick, get someone to cover this scoop lor the front page. Put a 22-point heading on it, and get it typed. Don't be alarmed, dear reader, it's only the journalism Club trying to cover the spot story for the next issue ol' the Pioneer. This year the student body was pleased to learn that the Journalism Club, one of the oldest G.H.S. clubs, was included as a regular ,lilllll'Sll2iy afternoon club instead of meeting after school as they had done in previous years. Under the intelligent and cooperative direction of Mrs. Calvin Voris, the members were able to form the nucleus of the Pioneer stall and plan several entertaining programs for the club. An innovation. also, was the printing ol' the Pioneer on a standard size, four sheet paper, which came out monthly. On special occasions extra pages were added. The Piom'er stall, which was elected by the ntentbers at the First meeting, included-- Marilyn Maryn, Editor-in-ctlliefq Pat Brown. Managing liditorg Donald Grimm, News Editor: Mary Jane Townsetid, Feature Editor: Donald N'olfe and Pat Loftus, Sports Editors: james Carneal, Stall' Pliotographerg Joanne Scott, Copy Editorg Nat Gates, Business Manager: james Townsend, Advertising Manager: Lois Freundt, Circulation Manager: Iillen Gussio, Clerical Chief, and Dale Downs, Bookkeeper. The capable stall members proved their ability and origin- ality by their outstanding writings, both feature and news articles, good photos and cuts, well- selected ads, improved circulation, and a well-founded editorial policy. The new columns, Mary Jane Towsend's Grim and fiTlIIllll'6'X, GJ. jim' by Dona Nyhoif, Thr' Roving' Reporter, Pat Browns Iilzrary News, and the Citizen of the Month, deserves full recognition for their achievement. The reporters, who have diligently contributed numerous articles, are Dale Downs, Edwin Ford, Lois Freundt, Robert Hall, Ruth Morgan, Donn 0'Neill, Pat Robinson, Joanne Scott, Daryl Smallwood, Amelia Benjamin, Freida Brown, Mary Dennis, Janice Lee Grimm, Barbara Runnion, james Townsend, Doris Armstrong, Carol Byerly, Dick McKee, Donald Ramras, johnny Gates, Mary Goodall, Betty Holler, Milton Laikin, David Maryn, Helen Miller, and Toria Reese. l33l

The Glee Club Do, re, mi, that's right, you've guessed it, the Glee Club is in session. This year, the Glee Club was so large that it had to be divided into two sections. Tl1e Senior Club, consisting ol' .juniors and Seniors, met on Thursday: and the Junior Club, made up ol' Freshmen and Sophomores, met on Friday. Both groups were under the capable supervision ol' Mrs. Helen Trucksess. At the tirst meetings, othcers were elected. Those chosen in the Senior group were: George Neumann, President: Betty ftrrington, Vice-President, Shirley Mitchell, Secretary: and Dottie -Ielliries, Treasurer. In the Junior group the same procedure was followed. The results were: Margaret Brown, President: Helen Titnnterman, Secretary: and Frank Schrom, Treasurer. XVith ollicers like this, how could we miss? After the olficers were elected, sweet music could he heard pouring through the walls and windows. Harry Power's accompaniment, on the piano, added to the effect of a truly tnttsical spirit. Auditions were given to new members and hidden talent was brought out. Mrs. Trucksess immediately began to search for opportunities to show oil her newly'-discovered song birds. Her first opportunity came when several picked members from both groups gave a very enjoyable perlormance at a Parent-Teachers Association meeting. A Christmas program was given under the sponsorship of the combined Glee Clubs. Christmas carols were sung in French under the direction ol' Miss Dorothy' Armacost, and in Latin and English with Mrs. Trucksess' direction. Nelda Goldstein sang Silent Night, backed by the chorus. Popular songs were sung by Christie Richardson, -Iune lirittingham, and Clayton McCarl. The presenta- tion was a huge success and was followed by a dance. lt can safely be said that, A good time was had by all. Members ol' each group sang at the Community' Church on Youth Day. and gave a performance ol which we can be proud. The most outstanding undertaking ol the Clee Clubs was the presentation of an operetta. The China Shop won Olll over several other selections. It was well presented, and enjoyed by all who attended the perlormance. The leading roles were handled excellently by Nelda Goldstein, Christie Richardson, Lucy Forrester, George Neumann, Clayton NlcCarl, 'Ierrv Symer, blames McCarl, Alison McDermid, Kay Roach, Shirley Mitchell, Ray Bochert, Tint Evans. James Bordas and Harry Leiper. The scenery and make-up, handled by the stu- dents, gave a very realistic Chinese atmosphere. The operetta was very successful and is evidence of the fine work the Glee Club can do. The two groups prepared a program to be given at the dedication of the new wing, and also, to be given on X'-E Day. All good things tllllst come to an end, so the semester was closing. The Seniors were preparing for their departure, and the Clee Club again proved its worth with its excellent iontributions at the Baccalaureate services and at the Graduation exercises. This year has been an active one lor the largest Glee Club in our history. and we hope future clubs will be able to keep up the fine reputation which has been established. l37l
