FTA fright? had a hilarious program about teachers and their pupils. The FTA'ers were fish in costumes equipped with fins. colors. and tails! They were caught in the Recruitment Pond and carted off by the teachers. Skip fbelowj, a perfect example of man's best friend. sat with us in chapel just about every Tuesday morning. His original way of observing the programs kept us amused for the half-hour. The General Electric Company sent a representative to demonstrate some experiments. He showed us how neon lights work and how to make a Uscientilic chocolate soda out of a few chemicals. K1 Gary Tucker. Satan.'i gestures menacingly over his devilish crew of imps: Dianne Henderson.

Advisor Reporters: Diane Wood, Jean Lee, Edward Rodgers, Katrina Ford, Ann Hill, Pat Myers As I sat in the quietness of 12 o'clock one night racking my brain for that idea which would catch the public's eye, my mind wandered to the things we, the Pitchfork staff, have accomplished this year. I do not believe the seniors will forget our Career Day, when authorities in different fields came and told us about the advantages and disadvantages of their jobs. Many seniors definitely made up their minds about the future after that day. Our magazine section, Devil's Tales, with its fiction, poetry, and art work submitted by the students through English classes and the art department, was Counting subscriptions tleftj to get her books in order. Jane Pratt. business manager, collects the re- ceipts from Gerry Culley, advertising manager, and Harriet Hope, circulation manager. Covering sports tbelowi, Buster Crowe, the photo- grapher, and Bill Bowers, sports editor, catch a shot of the last few minutes of a basketball game. Bill wrote a sports column in every paper. an original idea of the staff. When we changed the Girl of the Month of recent years to represent the separate seasons as Miss Halloween, The Christmas Belle, Miss Shamrock, Miss Easter Parade and the Seniors' Favorite Girl, the boys of the different grade levels, who picked these girls from their classes, rated it as one of the most popular features of the paper. Two features I'll never forget are the Baby contest and the Math Quiz we sponsored. Everyone in school was trying to win. Then we ran a series of editorials encouraging the school clubs to realize their responsi- bilities and be more active. We wrote many articles and drew cartoons to sug- gest that clubs produce better chapel programs for our students, because we will give, for the third time, a chapel cup to the club with the best chapel program. Our newspapers have been sent in to compete with other newspapers from all over the nation for the Medalist and All American awards given by Columbia Scholastic Press Association and National Scholastic Press Association. The results of these contests were not announced before the Olympian went to press. Getting an interesting paper published every month on time was our immediate goal. We had six pages each time in which we tried to cover every phase of school. A special issue on American Educa- tional YVeek was a source of great pride.
