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.

Golly, I'ni glad Student Council's project for honor study hall has been such a big success. VVe used to have the hardest time getting all our club work done after school. Now we can do these activities in our study hall just as long as we don't break the honor pledge we signed. The accomplishments and activities of Student Council have been many this year. Our investigations of school clubs to evaluate each club and determine which ones deserve to be recognized as school clubs next year really did help the organizations realize their responsibilities. Our annual College Day for seniors, with rep- resentatives froin 16 colleges and universities, who lectured and answered questions for the seniors, was a big help. When we and some Key club members painted the white line down our hall, it called the students' attention to the side on which they were to walk and a separate section of chairs in chapel gave seniors a special privilege. Several new groups petitioned to become school clubs and after going over their constitutions it was our job to decide whether they should be recognized. Discussing qualifications for class officers are Nancy Ballenger, Bob Taylor. Charles Nunn. Ann Whitmire. Betty Hamilton, Martha Hartness. Joyce Clackum. Katrina Ford, Pat Myers, Patricia Pratt, Dardenella Reece. Bill Bowers. Ed Mix, Bruce Cone. Jimmy Howard. Tommy Pettett. Ken Turner. Martin Teem. Morgan Bagwell. Gene Phillips. and Gary Tucker.
