MCBURNEIAN The NICBURNEIAN this year won its second successive first class award in the National Scholastic Press Association's country wide contest. Editor Klein feels that the school has just cause to feel proud of this record. Besides Norman Klein, Iames Scott fsportsl, Iames Hoop- er, Robert Kunkel fby-linesj, William Peniche Qcolumnistl, and Edward Mc- Cluskey feditorialsj were the students re- sponsible for this high ranking. The advertising manager, William Prager, worked valiantly and well to keep the newspaper solvent. In the advertising contests, sponsored by Rogers Peet, Bruce Wald and Charles Angell won first prizes while Robert Simon received honorable mention. In all, ten issues of the MCBURNEIAN were produced, the most interesting being the Christmas, Parents-Alumni, and Crad- uation issues. All events were completely covered, even the interclass games and the semi-finals of the academic contests. By supporting such extra-curricular activ- ities, and also the dances and the plays, the MCBURNEIAN contributed its share to their success. XVhen May and examinations ap- proached, the Senior members of the staff turned over their offices to the Iuniors who had been elected to replace them. Next year's staff-Richard Ott, editor, Stewart O'Neill, managing editor, VValter Rutherford and Robert McCuigan, assist- ants-are fully capable of carrying on thc RICBURNEIAN tradition. SCROLL CLUB The Scroll Club, organized to take care of the school's academic activities, had an unusually successful year. At the first meeting Iames Hooper was elected presi- dent, and the club was organized for busi- ness. Alan Dirlam was put in charge of the college catalogues, and William Ruckstuhl was appointed to manage the Activity Room. During the year both boys did a splendid job in their departments. Twenty-live members of the club hav- ing graduated in 1946, the membership had fallen to thirty-eight. In its January meeting, the Academic Council, the members of which are the presidents and chairmen of the various student activities, elected thirteen new members. These were inducted at the mid-year recognition day. In May two more meetings of the council were held, at which twelve more boys were rewarded for their efforts during the year by being elected members. These boys received their scrolls on Recognition Day and at the Clubs Banquet. At the end of the term one-quarter of the students of McBurney wore the scroll, the emblem of leadership in academic activities. Twenty McBurneyites had won silver scrolls, and three, Charles Trojahn, Leon Spoliansky, and Iames Hopper, had been honored with gold scrolls. PANORAMA PANORALIA, McBurney's literary inaga- zine, is unique among the school's pub- lications: Mr. Chamberlin, the faculty adviser, has no part in the production ex- cept the proof-reading of the articles. All of the other work, including the printing and binding of the magazine, is done by the members of the staff. During the year, four issues of PANOR- AMA appeared. The fall issue 'was notable for its excellent cover, a drawing of Winston Churchill done by Bruce Church, the art editor. For the winter issue Guy Strauss interviewed Edgar Bergen and obtained several autographed photographs for publication. This issue also contained an interview with Ben Grauer, NBC's special events man. Rob- ert Ranelle, G. I., contributed an interest- ing article to the spring issue. For this one, Guy Strauss interviewed lose Ferrer, who was playing the role of Cyrano de Bergerac on Broadway at the time. The summer PANAORAMA broke away from the unsatisfactory mimeographing process, the new lithograph machine was used for the work. Shaded drawings can be produced on this machine, and paper can be printed on both sides. During the year PANORAINIA acquired a coat of arms and a motto, Ce qui plait est demi-venduf' The staff is proud of the motto. Leon Spoliansky, who directed PANOR- ASIA for two years. graduated in june. The magazine is now in the hands of Francis Pardo, Guy Strauss, Elward Bresett, William VValter, and Bruce Church.
