“Extra, extra, read all about it!” (F. Rogers, M. Frith) Turning out the Spotlight (A. Carpenter, C. Carlson) ... OPOTLIGHT Many major improvements were made in the Spotlight, our school newspaper, during the year 1952-1953. Under the direction of co-editors Barbara Borngesser and Connie Carlson, and faculty adviser Miss Jennie Bujnievicz, issues were increased from four to ten per year, the size of the paper was doubled, money-raising funds such as the sale of book covers were sponsored, and as a result of all these changes, sales more than tripled last year’s total. Forty-two members produced these publications including eight staff editors in the editorial and business departments. Features Editor Sally Proctor, Sports Editor Marjorie Frith, Clubs Editor Ann Brenchick, and School News Editor Carol Stoney saw that their sections were adequately covered. The publicity staff, advertising staff, special projects staff, and circulation staff handled excellently all the business details. Because of the hard work of these staffs and renewed enthusiasm for our school paper, the Spotlight enjoyed tremendous popularity. First Row: A. Catalano, B. Fifield, B. Cohen, R. Beatteay, C.

YEARBUUh The preparation of the annual senior class Yearbook was directed this year by Lois MacElroy, Editor-in-Chief; Deborah Smith, Assistant Editor; Grace Bears, Business Manager; Ann Raymond, Assistant Business Manager; Janet Sorrento, Art Editor; and Audrey Barker, Typing Chairman. The usual combination of anxiety and activity produced an interesting and attractive book. Re-arrangement of the annual to produce greater interest and effect on the readers, a chief aim of the staff, and the new feature of a student life section marked the 1953 Yearbook. The great number of clever photographs taken by Fred Sgrosso, a member of the class of ‘53, added immeasurably to the distinction of the book. Special recognition should go to Sandra MacLean, Sally Proctor, Les Stevens, Dave Wells, and Elaine Smith for their writeups. Initiative and dependability marked the staff generally. The expert advice and supervision of Miss Kinley and Mr. Moyle, the faculty advisors, was a chief factor in the production of this book. A guided tour of the printing company .. . (Mr. Collins, A.

As one of our most active, well- supported, and democratic groups, the Student Council plays an important part in all school activities. The purpose of Student Council is to further the in- .terests of the student body, to promote better student relations, and always to improve upon existing school problems. This year the popularly-elected mem- bers made it possible for our new cross . country team to receive athletic letters, and they have also appropriated money to the assembly committee, revised the traffic system, and sponsored the Har- vest Hop for the entire school. The group also worked on arranging a tentative calendar of major events for the coming school year, and delegated members to attend various conventions at neighboring high schools. The agenda of each meeting is posted on the bulletin board before the Mon- day meeting, and the report of each meeting is posted on Tuesday. In this way, all students can know what prob- lems and projects were discussed by the young people they elected to repre- sent them.
