L. lll. L. LIFE STRFF Q Scribblers and snoopers gathered early last fall to plan their 1938 Life . They received permission to use the fifth period of every Wednesday as a journalism hour. Being eager to begin work, they took little time to elect their leaders and effect their organization. Bettijean Miller was chosen editor-in-chief: Delmar Brown and Marlin Delavan, assistant editors: Nlarguerite Grossen, art editor: and William Levy, busi- ness manager. Since the Lux School celebrates its twenty-fifth birthday this year, the staff decided to make the 1938 issue of the Life historical of the progress of the schools. Old pictures and old stories of the school will give a backward glance, and newest additions and accomplishments will show the progress. Not satisfied merely to work on an annual which would not come out for months, the journalists decided to issue a weekly paper and to post it on Friday mornings on the main bulletin boards of the three buildings. Different groups of staff members edited this news sheet called The Tiger's Tale. From a three column first issue the paper has grown to a six-column and sometimes eight-column sheet and even boasts a scandal column with the very good name, The Vacuum Cleaner . From time to time, features have appeared, the most exciting being baby pictures of the seniors, all embarrassingly tricked out with saucy captions. These pictures were reproduced and made uniform in size by George Hillman, Marjorie McBride, and Merrie Christmas. The greatest surprise among them was a quaint, adorable little boy, whose taffeta dress was trimmed in the fashion of years ago. It was our director, George A. Merrill. At Thanksgiving time the staff published a ten-page mimeographed magazine, with news, poems, cartoons, editorials, and humorous essays. The journalists are proud of themselves. They have had fun in producing both The Life and The Tiger's Tale . They hope that the latter publication continues to appear on the school bulletin boards and becomes a school institution.
