Lennox High School - Len Kota Yearbook (Lennox, SD)

Page 32 text:

LenKota Lennox high school takes pride in its paper, The Lennox High School Pep-A-Graph, not only because it has taken seven first place rat- ings during the past ten years in departmental papers in its division, but also because it paints a graphic and word picture of realistic school life. The journalism class serves as a feeding field for the Pep-A-Graph staff, which is changed every semester. Classified as a depart- mental paper, it is published as a full page paper in the Lennox Independent each weekg a policy foreign to most departmental school papers. The paper was edited by Delores Hillman the first semester of this year, as a carry-over of last year, with all former members of the staff serving. Vivian Hofer, former associate editor took over at the start of the second semester. Repeating its past performances, the paper re- ceived both a first place rating, and an All- State Superior in SDI-ISPA competition last fall. Arrangements have been made to enter the Pep-A-Graph for an All-American rating this year.

To bring back some of these happy memories in future years, the LenKota staff has prepared the 1940 yearbook. The LenKota aims to present a vivid picture of our high school activities so that the usurping hand of time will not steal away for- ever the fascinating moments of our school life. A great deal of credit is due to the LenKota staff for their sincere efforts to make this year- book better than that of any of the preceding years. The editor Delores Hillman, who through untiring efforts has made the LenKota an in- teresting portrayal of school life. She has been ably assisted by aul Olson, associate editor, vorson, Delores Steever, Vernon Fodness, Phyllis Larson, Bessie Van Essen, Ruth S:hroedermeier, Joyce Jacobs, Roberta Wilkinson, Sophie Beeners Bessie Van Essen and Joyce Jacobs, class editor and assistant class editor respectively, Delores Steever, activity editor, Sophie Beeners, clubs, Ruth Schroedermeier, music, Eugene Schroeder- meier, publications, Phyllis Larson, forensics, junior Halvorson, athletics, and Vernon Fod- ness, school life. The art work on the division pages, one of the features we consider outstand- ing in our 1940 LenKota, was done entirely by Doris Matthews. No annual can be a success without sufficient financial backing, and this was taken care of in an exceptionally commendable manner by Orvin Plucker, Business Manager and Vivian Hofer, Circulation Manager. Their assistants were Roberta Wilkinson and Evelyn Tellinghuisen. S-gylyiiltit fi, it tg Q. Q-vslgyf QFVNN Fa ,MS Ks- ills' pr flililxfllllyll,lll?i,,Vl,tllll T
