A When you were just a kid fwhich wasn't too long agoj, you probably had beautiful, adolescent day- dreams about becoming famous in the most glamor- ous career you could possibly think of. Undoubtedly being a great actor, a second Shakespeare, or Mickey Rooney, entered your noggin quite frequently, as the very sound of being applauded for an outstanding performance has a more than attracting effect on star- gazers. If you havenlt outgrown this infatuation for the ,ips Poor old man HBadgrammar hasn't got a ghost of a chance after eager students really get on the ball in their study of the English language and the correct way to use it. He'll be a poor runner-up against your determined Guardian Angel, who is al- ways right on the job to make all of her dependents word wise. Although colons, commas, hyphens and principal parts of verbs may be Greek to these language masters at first, they become quite familiar after four years. stage by HOW' You might ENGAGED WITH THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. fAboveD speech students Gloria Dorman, find dramatics class in- teresting. Here you'll have a brief glimmer of the working part of act- ing fbehind the cur- tainj. Aside from this enlightenment you learn the usage of stage terms. Your Guardian Angel tries to assist these grease-paint lovers by hovering near when they at last get a crack at acting as a prompter for those who inevitably forget their lines. Learning not to turn green and wobbly all over when you are sud- denly confronted with an expectant audience is one of the rewarding factors the dramatics class can give you. Always at the last minute English pupils race like mad to read a book and write that long neglected book report. Since the beginning of the term your Guardian Angel has been remind- ing, warning, and scold- ing in hopes that her ef- forts would evoke a little energy on the part of her wards. Although some of the scholars are al- ways moved into action, others are hindered by their stubbornness and have to put up with last minute cramming.

While the drive is on, these salesmen become a familiar sight to the entire city. After enough subscriptions have been sold to top the last drive fwhich is an absolute necessity to usave facenj, the editors start the whirlwind job of assign- ing and collecting stories. Reporters, who might be called human question- naires while they're on the job, are the persons equipped with a so-called Unose for news. They track down the story, write it, and then start banging on the typewriter. Finally, it's ready to hand in in the condition required by an All-American school news- paper. When the editor gains possession of this work of art, he gives it the once-over to brush up on any slip of the pen, and Mr. Henderson re-checks all stories and headlines for journalistic mistakes. Now these important pieces of paper travel down to the print shop, where the printing staff is given the job of setting the type on the Linotype, and making up the page forms is also under the supervision of Mr. Henderson, to whom all editorial and printing staff members run for suggestions and guidance.
