Oh, these wretched couplets are driving me madln cried our editor as she waved a sheaf of papers about frantically and let them flutter to the floor. They remained there but an instant, for there was a furious scramble to rescue them. Yes, we of the master literary minds knew they were more than silly, little couplets. XVe leave our editor still concerned with couplets, our business manager thumbing through receipts, the managing editor rushing thither and yon, and the literary editor searching for a typographical error . This year, the staff, with the aid of its adviser, Miss Monfore, has labored industriously to present to the student body a new type of book as up- to-date as a calendaru. W'e agreed that a magazine style would be practically perfect , especially one which comes so near to being a second Harpers-with pictures galore.

It was unusually busy that day, much to the annoyance of Dick Stake, who was chief door-tender in Room Cnc as well as assistant editor. Reporters ambled in and out, offering all sorts of good but unwanted advice, bothering every one in general. Snarches of conversation wafted about the room -- Yeah, the band paraded for - Heard the latest dope?-Now get this straight-For the fifteenth time, leave a space between each line-I covered the meet Saturday but-Don't bother me with this.', Suddently a furious typist whirled around, Will you pul-ease be quiet? A silence enveloped those standing near. After a sarcastic suggestion from the busy editor, the sheepish reporters shuffled slowly out of the room. Peace reigned once more. When Miss White stepped in a few minutes later, she found the typist clicking merrily away at her typewriter, just finishing the last page. In one corner, john Center and Ken- neth Miller discussed the almost finished cover. Two hours later, the room was deserted except for the care-worn editor who sat scribbling away, while the room darkened. Thus, the High School News was edited. The paper gives news, gossip, and all school events, it tries to find the students' interests. We found that this year the sport events, Dora Leels Dusting, and the li- brary news received the most attention. The members of the staff were: editor, Patricia McKus- ick, assistants, Richard Stake, Joe Aubing artist, John Center, business manager, Theodore Bloom, circulation, Robert Swanson, sponsor, Miss White. luditor-in-clnef Mclxusick .md her two assist- ants, Stake and Aubin. supposedly busy Il work. 32

Drama TZIIQCS 21 Bow o By Patricia McKusick Look, Marge, I just received a bid to the National Thespians. Oh, I'm just thrilled! I've worked so hard for it. It's been my high- est ambition to become a member, and now I may be the proud wearer of that striking pin with the two masks. Itis such an honor too, that I though I should never be able to reach that goal. Yes, membership in the National Thespians is one of the highest honors con- ferred upon a student. The organization is a national honor dramatic society organized on a democratic basis. Its membership is open to all senior high school students who meet the requirements and who are approved by the director of dramatics. This year, members of the local Troup No. 272 participated in every major dramatic production either as members of the casts or as assistants to the director. At the meetings held during the year reports were made of well known dramatists. Also, another phase of the National Thespians' activities was concerned with the history of the drama and theatre from ancient Greece to Shakespeare. NItlSlI1lf'l'X' Pf'f'Si!1!'lIf To all appearances the Masquers have fin- ished the quietest year in its existence, in real- ity Masquers were active in all plays. In November the annual mock initiation was held. The initiates donned purpls mitts and homemade caps, placards and grease paint. They wore their clothes backwards and inside out. For the benefit of the old members, the initiates performed all sorts of tricks. At the formal initiation rules and regulations were explained, dues were paid, and the pledge was taken. A brief formal ceremony initi- ated them into the club at various meetings. In March the club made the purchase of a miniature stage made to scale. This stage was equipped and used as an advertising agent for several performances by displaying it in ad- vantageous places in the business section of town. Thus, behind the scenes we find the club truly active. The officers Were: presi- dent, Patricia McKusick, vice-president, Whitney Clark, secretary, Beatrice Frederick, treasurer, Marian Micka. 34 dcrson, R. Toms, B. Dough- erty, G. Bwrbon, B.
