This class, which meets only once a week, accom- plishes the difficult task of editing the three-school weekly paper and the annual. Although a really surprising amount of work is turned out by this class, its activities are by no means all of serious nature. Once a term the journalists stage a partyfa very Bohemian affair typical of newspaper people. Last semester it was a nutty dinner party held by the Squirrels in the teachers' lunch room at Lick. There against the proper background-check ered tablecloths, jaunty clotheslines, and surrealistic art--the journalists cooked their ravioli and mixed their green salad and ate in hilarious informality. After the dinner, they went to the auditorium where they were entertained by a boys' ballet, which was excellent as a digestive exer- cise for both the entertainers and the entertained, the latter laughing themselves almost into paroxysms. The nature of this year's party has not yet been decided, but it will probably be a gay affair. Under the direction of Mr. Vestnys, and with the help of Miss Palmer, the L.W.L. LIFE is annually published. The teachers choose the editor-in-chief, and the editor chooses his assistants from the members of the journalism class. Each semester the theme of the annual is new and different. This year it is the Golden Gate International Exposition, because 1959 will always mean the Fair to everyone of us. Following the policy inaugurated last year. the staff has endeavored to increase the number of pictures included and to decrease the literary material. From official polls and from infor- mal discussions the journalism class has learned that the journal the students want is a pictorial record of the school activities of the year. Therefore, every effort has been made to produce a book with the maximum number of illustrations and minimum amount of written material.
