Even seniors found out a lot they didn't know. The book exchange and the advertising for the fall party were also taken charge of by the Student Council. Furthermore, they sponsored a pep meeting which met with great approval and will probably be an example for other clubs to follow. Dorothy Cohen, Virginia Coffey, and Charlene Fletcher attended the District Convention of Student Councils at Shelbyville.

George Jerdan, the editor-in-chief, buckled down on us and we had to work, what l mean. First, Wayiie Neal and his assistants, Houston Jerdan, Dale Lazier, Charles Gilbert and liill Dunn, got out and put the pressure on the business men, and boy, before you would snap your lingers they had their quota of advertising in the bag. Bill Timmons, our able business manager, with Miss Williams' aid, came through with a straight set of books. And of course, you know, the circulation part was easy after we had that assembly when you helped us out. Virginia Coffey, and her helpers, Elizabeth Henriehs, Mary Field and Lawrence Pleasant, just had to sit in the hall and pick up the coins that rolled ing in fact, all previous sales' records were broken. Mary Curry, the Literary editor, and her side-kicks, Nita Kersten, Betty Bidwell and Ruth Croswhite, are absolutely worn out after eounting the Wllll,S Who votes. lim warning you, don't mention it to them, or you might lind yourself in a box of toothpic-ks. liob Louder, the Senior editor, and his assistants, Mary M, Lively and Mary lane Ferree, are all Hrimeda' out but Very proud of their work. The Photo editor, Mary E. Thompson, and her sharp shooters, Forrest Mundhenk, Susan Uran and Jeanne Miesse, got out and really picked off some good snapshots. Athletics?

Betty Nash, our editor-in-chief, was the originator of the idea. Backed by several of the more literary of our students, she finally persuaded Mr. Kersten to allow her to try her idea. It was found that not much knowledge of journalism was available. How- ever, with frequent errors Las lVliss Morgan soon discovered and told usl, the paper was published. Much discussion was held as to whether it should be printed or mimeographed. Since our finances were somewhat low and we were not allowed to advertise, it was decided to mimeograph the copy. We hope that some day the school will be able to publish a printed newspaper. Many difficult days and many trials were had while the staff was learning the ways and means of the newspaper office. lVlany of our staff endeavored in vain to learn to write poetry for its columns. The complaints were quite frequent, especially concerning the gossip column. The Staff consisted of- Betty Nash - Editor-in-Chief Miriam Preston - - News Paul Graham - - Sports G, A.
