The pupils take up the study of all phases of journalistic writing as well as the analysis of newspapers. One of the chief aims of the course is to teach the pupil how to read the newspaper. The class in addition to its regular activities wrote many stories for the Mirror and the city newspapers in the form of features and publicity for Central Junior ami Senior High Schools. Press Gub has also started at the begin-ning of the second semester, and in view of its newness has accomplished a great deal. Its members visited the offices of one of the Madison papers, brought outstanding Madison journalists to Cent ml as speakers, ami along with press clubs from East and West made plans for a united press club of the city high schools. Included in these inter-school plans were arrangements for an exchange of pictures and stories, thus cutting engraving cost and providing publicity for each other with this auspicious lie-ginning in the way of inter-school cooperation, it is possible that all three pres groups will develop into thriving organizations within the next year. The latest innovation in Central journalism is the establishment of a chapter of the international honorary society of Quill and Scroll. Eleven Central pupils were made charter members at an open meeting of Press Club at which time Betty Cass, local columnist, was the speaker. The young journalists are I.ura Salter, Jane Jriestley, Fred Alexander, Olive Nelson. Phyllis Stewart, I.ucilc Schrciber, James Jackson, Fred Baxter. Margaret Russell, Josephine Schwarz, and Myrtle Luvdahl. These pupils besides being in the upper third of their class n scholarship deserve merit for work done in the creative writing or in executive positions on the Mirror. Individual distinction was achieved by Jane Priestley, who in the National Scholastic Awards contest won second place—and ten dollar —in the feature story division sponsored by Quill ami Scroll. As a result of winning this award. Jane has been given a scholarship whereby site can study journalism this summer at Northwestern University along with several other contest winners. half of her tuition being taken care of by the scholarship. The school will he in session from June 25 to July 21. Fourteen editions of the Mirror were issued this year, not counting the Orange and Black. Two six-page issues and the first ten-page issue on record were included among this number. Concerning the study of journalism as a regular course at Central Miss Beda Hand says: Every pupil needs a general knowledge of journalism. I am especially pleased this year to see Central try to give its students something they can use in practical living. Whatever business or profession a pupil enters, he contacts the newspaper through publicity or promotion. How to work with the press is then an invaluable aid to success. The club woman must also apply principles of publicity in her work on public relations whether she be publicity chairman or secretary. The woman who knows how to plan and write club stories will always get more inches for her organization. Every home subscribes to a newspaper. The pupil of the course in journalism will know the goml paper from the overly sensational. The students who actively take part in staff work have gained experience in writing for print and in all its attributes. A THEATRE EDUCATION By Peggy Kreu. THE knowledge which I have acquired at the movies is not useful in every-day, mediocre living. It would be very practical, however, in case I was ever lost in a trackless juglc or involved in a gory, intricate murder or suddenly woke up one morning to find myself in Ancient Rome or Early England. By long acquaintance I have learned that the handsome hero always appears in time to save the beautiful damsel from the burning building, or the clutches of the angry ape, or the knife of the enraged maniac. Ah yes, I am thoroughly equipped to meet almost any dire emergency. Sadly enough, however, my life has been almost barren of really important episodes such as quick-sand, alligators, and secret panels. The few cxcitng adventures in which I have been involved unfortunately arrived before I had seen the movies which would have enabled me to know instantly the correct thing to be done. I managed to struggle through them, it is true, and even felt proud of my prompt action in several instances. I believe that every American boy and girl ought to attend as many movies as possible. After all a crisis may arise at some time and by all means someone must have learned the proper thing to be done. Besides the ultmatc statement that you acted just as they do in the movies” is decidely enervating to your rivals and unbelievably comforting to yourself.
