C. Ulrick Passing Room 359 one afternoon, I happened to see a notice on the board. 'Junior High Hi-Y meeting tonight. Important. All members be there. Then something flashed in my memory. Help! I was to interview their supervisor, Mr. E. C. Ulrick, fora the Annual Mirror. Well, I thought, I might as well get it now as never. XVith trembling fingers I gently tapped on his office door. When the door opened, I tried to clear my throat and explain my presence. In a shaky voice I asked, Mr. Ulrick, What is the purpose of the Junior High Hi-Y? I In the Hi-Y Club we try to develop in the seventh and eighth grade boys the ideals of Christian living and good citizenship through athletics, both as participants and as spectators. After that oration I gasped and wondered if I should ask any more questions. I noticecllhe said club. I always thought the Hi-Y was only a boys' organization. Oh-I think he is going to say something more. 1 l You see, our boys participate in many sports. The twenty-eight members were divided into four basketball teams to find the best players in the club. Then several times we went swimming at the Y. M. C. A. You should hear some of the talks given by Coaches Dotson, Jones, and Settlemire. They certainly help persuade our boys to participate in some sport when in senior high. I Now I was beginning to locate my courage. This isn't so bad after all: in fast, 1t'S rather interesting. In a more controlled voice I asked, 'iWhat did you mean when you referred to the boys being good spectators? . Of course, I meant to explain that. During a game, especially if our team happens to'be losing, there always seems to be some spectators who 1T1l1St 'iboo the umpire. CAt this point my conscience pricked me slightly.l The Junior High Hi-Y tries to show the bad effect this has on our school. Sure, we want enthusiastic spectators, but we also want courteous ones. The club stresses three main points: sportsmanship, obedience, and loyalty, With these we hope to improve the boys' morals and prepare them for Central's future athletics. With a Thank you very much I closed the office door behind me. Much to my sur- prise I found my hands and knees were perfectly calm. Maybe interviewing isn't so bad after all!

Penmansw Club PENMANSHIP CLUB Phyllis Beer - - - President Marilyn Tinder - Vice President Connie Conn - - Secretary -Nellie Artist: Treasurer Think back and recall your first school days. Now try and recall the first time you really wrote with a pencil. My, weren't your P's and Q's ludicrous looking figures? Then, as time passed on, you began to write words and to organize and complete sentences and paragraphs. Your handwriting was slowly but surely developing. Since you are thinking of your early childhood, recall the first time you wrote numbers and learned their vital use. Soon you completed grade school and entered junior and senior high school. In senior high school your ability to Write was of the utmost importance, for you were called upon to write essays, themes, book reviews, and even poems. If you look up the word write in the dictionary, you will find this definition: to'ex- press 1n words or characters on paper with pen or pencil. People may express themselves 1n a neat, clean, readable manner or in an untidy, illegible manner. As you no doubt know, writing is an art which is most important in one's everyday life. He who possesses the ability to write is fortunate because there are so many people-in fact, too many-whose handwriting is untidy and illegible due to carelessness. The purpose of the Penmanship Club, one of the younger organizations at Central, is to help students perfect a script that is pleasing to the eye and that is readable. 1 The club is limited to seventh and eighth grade students. It is a fine organization in which junior high students can be entirely prepared to do their best in writing upon entering senior high. Jambr H420 .lou nahkm dub JUNIOR HIGH JOURNALISM CLUB Shirley Costin - - - President Jean Hull - - - Vicea President Marilyn Bennett - - Secretary Judy Creps - - - Treasurer G. Martin Winemiller - Advisor Borrow a few moments from your most precious time, sit down, and try to write an article on any school club or organization. Not so easy, is it? But if you had a sufficient amount of training and teaching, and possessed that certain quality, originality, you would find it easier to produce an interesting article. The Junior High Journalism Club was organized last year by G. Martin Winemiller in prder to introduce some of the fundmental principles of reporting and writing to interested eighth grade students. The members of the club cover the various junior high organizations. and activities and report their articles to the Weekly Mirror staff. If the staff find these articles interesting and well organized, they publish them in the Mirror. In addition to reporting the clubs and activities, several zealous members have undertaken the task of completing various short stories and poetry of different types. Remember the old saying: Something new has been added : these are the exact words to describe the new chnage in junior high. The annual Who's Who contest was conducted not only for the students of senior high school, but also for the students of junior high. With the co- operation of the Student Council the Junior High Journalism Club sponsored the first junior high Who's Who contest. The ability to write well during one's youth may prove profitable in later years: Many students take up journalism just for a pastime, while others who are really interested in news- paper writing allow their high school experience to serve as a basis for their final careers. Don't be surprised in ten or twenty years if some of our own Centralites become prominent characters in the field of journalism: they have a good start. HELEN R. MILLER -129-
