We The Modulus Staff got theiv heads together way back in September and decided that this year ' s book was to be different. And it is — but definitely. Instead of being divided into sections such as Classes, Features, or Sports, it is divided into months; for after all the purpose of our Modulus is to serve as a calendar of events duruig the school year. As nearly as possible, each organization has been placed in the month in which it is most active. The staff had to forsake their hours in study hall; and during those periods when they were sup- posed to be in 202 preparing tomorrow ' s history, they were in that madhouse known as 310 getting all stuck up with rubber cement or changing the dummy. It was even necessary once or twice for the editor and photographer to abandon a favorite class 111 order to get some copy or snaps in before the dead- line. Such sacrifice! Seriously, this year ' s staff has been strictly on the ball, and special thanks goes to Mr. McClurg for his contribution of time, patience, and elbow grease. Also much credit should be given to the Art Editors and all other staff members for their originality in the presentation of the 1944 Modulus. The Advertising Staff seemed to have as their goal Bigger and Better Ads , and they certainly reached that goal. Tramping around to all of Hun- tington ' s business offices, factories, and shops solicit- ing ads is often a thankless task; but without it our Modulus would not be. To the Advertising StafI goes a vote of thanks. Twenty-Four

Student Council members were elected. The Garden Club started off with a bang this year. They had a meeting at 11:20 in the auditorium. We play Marion there. Nearly all of H. H. S. was pre- sent. The ' Vikes are really right in there- Score 53 to 6. our favor. September 13th — The senior class elected a new secretary. Seems that they were satisfied with the year ' s administration Skinny is still sponsor, too. September 14th — The Juniors organized. What with prior- ities, etc., they should have a pretty tough time of it. Four o clock dismissals this week. September 15th — The novelty of change is wearing off. The teachers, now rested from their vacations in defense plants, are bearing down. We are bearing it, but scarcely- Sr. Hi-Y had its first meeting tonight. September 16th — Today we signed on the dotted line. Per- manent enrollment was taken. It seems we are fewer in number. Is the influence patriotism or filthy lucre? . . . today.

The Vikings looked like 1 1 little chocolate drops, and our reasons for letting Wabash beat us were as clear as Mud. September 27th — Monday again. We have a breathing space to look H. H. S. over properly. We find that the fresh- men are not quite so bewildered as they were. Senior cords are getting dirtier now as the dignity of that class is mounting. We really feel like seniors.
