Maybe you think it is fun? Well—try it sometime. First, find a publisher: then, a photographer: then, select a theme, which never pleases anybody: solicit advertising, for without that—no yearbook: then, try to get your writeups of classes in on time—yes, just try it: race around for snaps: get names correctly spelled for all the pictures—or just get names, that's hard enough; get your group pictures made outside, if the fog and rain will let you: take flash pictures of the faculty, and groan at the ghastly results: slip around to take a snap of Al and Ben—on the wing. Do all these things and then meet your deadlines to the engraver. Brother, it cannot be done. But if you want to feel worthwhile and useful, at last, just get out the good old Bulldog. Here it is, Aladdin's Lamp and all. We did what we could. Better luck next year! - 5 21

Averaging 12 pages a week, the paper was composed of a cover, page of gossip, fashion page, page of F.F.A. news, editorial page, class news, band news, library news, and Any Day column and one or two pages of sports. This year, members of the staff attended the Sacramento Bee Clinic given by the Sacramento Bee. The students who attended this clinic hope that in following years members of the Bulldog Flash may make an annual visit to some big newspaper to view the operations in editing that paper. The Bulldog Flash also sponsored a food sale, the proceeds of which were used to buy Quill and Scroll pins for the members of the staff who earned them.

QullL awL As compensation for meritorious service on the Bulldog Flash staff, high school weekly, would-be journalists are privileged to become members of Quill and Scroll, interna- tional organization for high school journalists. It’s a real honor to belong to this organization because the standards are high. Students must be juniors or seniors, must rank in the top one-third of their class scholas- tically at the time of election, write at least 100 column inches for a high school paper or other publications, be recommended by the sponsor for ability and dependability, and submit samples of their work to the national executive secretary, Mr. Nell. Awards this year were presented to eight girls. Doris McGuffey was awarded the editor's pin for her work as the director of the Bulldog Flash. The seven remaining girls— Sharley Lou Thompson, Dolores Detling, Barbara Wheeler, Wanda Ruth Marr, Beverly Groth, Barbara Bullock, and Shirley Jensen—received the regulation gold badges of membership. At the time of the awarding of the pins, Rodney Brown, named the ace reporter of the year, not eligible for Quill and Scroll because he had not reached his junior year, was given special recognition for his work on the Flash and his contributions to the Gridley Herald, Appeal Democrat, and the Sacramento Bee. He will be eligible for Quill and Scroll next year. Because Gridley High has no stipulated fund for the buying of awards for Quill and Scroll membership, the staff of the Bulldog Flash raised the money for the badges by selling hot dogs, cokes, and homemade candy during the noon hours. Mrs. Dunlap is the advisor of the organization in Gridley High. BACK ROW, left to right: Beverly Groth, Wanda Marr, Sharley Lou Thompson, Dolores Detling.
