He adds much humor lo Jrhe convocafions by 'felling some slory alooul a sludenl or a lavorile alumnus. The dislinguished leadership of Mr. Kendall and his ellicienl guidance of Marion High School cannol loe over esfimaled. The pasf Twenfy years have seen Mayo D.

A small, lhree column, four page paper, il conlains as much valuable informalion as some periodicals lwice ils size. ll is unique in lhal il is one of lhe few known papers of ils kind in lhe Uniled Slales. The arlicles conlained in lhe Signal are usually wrillen by members of lhe l'leallh and Safely classes, allhough occasionally, a fealure arlicle from lhe Nalional Safely Council is oblained. The Coun- cil also conlribules many inleresling culs, which are used lo illuslrale lhe paper. The purpose of lhe Signal is lo impress upon slu- denls and aclulls alike, lhe necessily for obeying lraffic rules al all limes. ll conveys lo ils readers many imporlanl developmenls in exisling lraffic condilions and brings lo view many new lraffic laws and regulalions. The Signal is prinled by members of lhe prinl- ing classes, under lhe direclion of B. H. Penrod, Marion l-ligh School Direclor of Publicalions. The paper is financed by differenl civic clubs in Marion, such as lhe Elks' Club, lhe Lions' Club, lhe Rolary Club, and lhe Exchange Club, each or- ganizalion sponsoring one issue. ll is dislribuled free lo grade school sludenls all over Marion, as well as lo high school sludenls. Ol lhe 6000 copies prinled, some are senl lo schools in olher slales. The Signal is ediled by lwo sludenls chosen for lheir inleresl in lhe subiecl, and lheir capabilily. They are aided by sludenls from lhe l-leallh classes, who sludy safely each Monday under lhe supervi- sion of Ronald Jacobson, Heallh and alhlelic in- slruclor. Because of difficullies in gelling slarled, no Signal was prinled during lhe firsl semesler. The co-edilors for lhe second semesler were Pal Kiley and Bayard Goldsmilh, who lurned in excellenl work, making lhe firsl issue beller lhan ever before. l-lowever, during lhe preparalion of lhis issue, an aulomobile accidenl deprived Marion l-ligh School of one of ils mosl promising sludenls, Bayard Gold- smilh. Inasmuch as he was co-edilor of lhe safely paper, il was indeed a slrange quirk of fale lhal caused his demise. l-lis dealh was quile a blow lo lhe success and progress of lhe Signal, bul in spile of lhis, lhe paper came lhrough in good order, lo be one of lhe besl issues ever prinled.

The ancient Roman school boys might have said, Ornnis labor et nullus ludus lvlarcum, stultum puerum etticitf' lAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.l To prevent such a disaster at lvlarion l-ligh School, the Latin department sponsors -the Latin Club. The present otticials are the consuls, Jim Mc- Kown and Phoebe Ann Jones: the quaestors, Wil- liam Williamson and Hal Smith: the aediles Virginia George, Barbara Swaney, Merrell Cottin, and lvlar- garet Dick: the plebeian tribune, Robert A. Reed. Believing that variety is the spice ot lite, these otticers, under the sponsorship ot lvliss Gladys Neal and lvliss Agnes l-lendricks, have held varied meet- ings during the year. Among these have been a Roman style show, an illustrated comparison ot Ro- man and modern wartare, and the construction ot a miniature model ot a Roman house. The most important parties ot the year were the May Breaktast, held at the Indiana General Service Club Rooms on May 3, the County Latin Conclave held at McCulloch Junior l-ligh School, a skating party. and the annual club picnic. An outstanding project tor the club was its sponsorship ot the Candid Camera Shots ot An- cient Romef' lt was a series ot Roman historical events presented in modern version by the tirst year Latin students ot McCulloch, under the direction ot lvlr. Willard Batson. Unlike most club proiects this play was pre- sented at a general convocation where all the stu- dents in school had an opportunity to witness it.

The predorninaTing purpose of The ArT Club is To TurTher arT inTeresTs in The high school besides giving The arT sTudenTs a chance Tor recreaTion.

LasT year he presenTed numerous one-acT plays, and Tour major producTions, including an opereTTa. This is a remarkable record considering ThaT he also Teaches classes in Speech, English VIII, and STage- craTT. The year iusT pasT was a Tull one in The dra- maTic deparTmenT. Three Three-acT plays were pre- senTed, in addiTion To several one-acT plays, and a revue, which proved To be The hiT oT The year. The Marion Hi Revue was The TirsT aTTempTed in many years, and iT Turned ouT To be a rousing success. Over I5O boys and girls had parTs in iT in diTTerenT ways. IT was presenTed in Two acTs con- Taining nineTeen diTTerenT numbers. One oT The ouT- sTanding parTs oT The Revue was The skiT MacBeTh aT Podunk High School, which was accorded much Tavorable commenT in The school, and local ciTy papers.
