TRTTLER STAFF To present a Tattler to the Logans- port Senior High School that would be representative of the senior class and Worthy of the school has been the pri- mary purpose of the staff. At the sug- gestion of Mr. Cox, our principal, the c,lass of '40 began the campaign for Tattler subscriptions at the close of the junior year. Members of the class co- operated well, and the quota of 400 sub- scriptions was reached in record time this fall, The staff was then elected by the class, and each member was as- signed his particular duty by the faculty committee. The co-operation of the stu- dent body, the guidance of our faculty advisors, the excellent weather condi- tions for photography, and the unity of the staff itself, have all contributed to the success of this year book.

ORGANIZATIONS Logansport High School has many activities aside from the curriculum in the form of qlubs and societies. These organizations, sponsored by the school and supervised by designated members of the faculty, are conducted by the students themselves through their elect- ed officers. Meetings are held in accord- ance with a definite schedule. These or- ganizations provide the student body with a voluntary, entertaining, and ed- ucational pastime. A purpose is the one definite qualifi- cation which each club must have. Us- ually a club has not only an educational purpose but also a social aim. Before any club is organized, a written plan must be presented to the principal and stu- dent council, giving the purpose, the possible membership, and the sponsor. Several of the clubs are branches of national organizations. In these, scholas- tic qualifications required by the nation- al societies control the number and type of members. Membership in most of the clubs, however, is determined by the in- terest of the student. While no one is required to belong to a club, the variety and attraction of their offerings make them hard to resist. si I 51 3 -Q l 1 F E-. I 1. i. L. i E I PAGE NINETEEN

MHGPIE STAFF Twenty -nine budding journalists joined the journalism class in Sep- tember with the rosy idea of being important to the success of the 1939- 1940 MAGPIE. They dreamed of in- terviewing' adventurers, ope1'a sing'- ers, senators-perhaps even the Pres- ident. As they mastered the five W's and learned the art of the profession, they discovered that the true task of a staff member is to gather the news quickly and w1'ite it in a short, con- cise ncwspaper style. They leal ned, too, the time and labor required to meet a deadline and the thrill of mak- ing' a scoop. Included in their success story for the year are the beauty of the Christ- mas MAGPIE, the ori,Q'inality of the TATTLER scoop, and the novel front page make-up with which they ex- perimented. This year marks the twentieth an- niversary of the MAGPIE. In honor of this event the staff published an anniversary issue which carried a re- production of the first MAGPIE. lt also contained statements made by Miss Bevan, the first MAGPIE advis- cr, Mr. Mitchell, principal of L. ll. S. when the first number was published, and Dr. Patrick Parisi, editor-in-chief of the MAGPIE in 1927. Since the MAGPIE j o i n e d the QUILL AND SCROLL on February 28, 1933, it has won international sec- ond place award. Holding' such a posi- tion in the QUILL AND SCROLL, an international honor society for high school journalists, is a great honor. The staff this year has worked hard to maintain this position.
