Maxine Leist, Gladys Main, and Zola Henderson. Advisor ..................... Freida Tuck The Journalism class of 19J9-40 has been very successful with the bi-monthly school edition, THE LOG. The paper carried all the important news events happening within the school during the entire year. The paper, for the most part has featured the important historical dates, such as Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays, Valentine, Christmas, Armistice, etc. The paper has besides the euitorials, brought to the students the club news, the assembly program report, and always the outcome of all athletic events.. Also the stories of the plays and Operetta. Of course the school paper carries the gos- sip” about the students and little interesting columns such as Can You Imagine” and “Sayings Heard at the Football Game.’ etc. They also published an extra in November to announce the coming of the all schoal carnival. It was considered very appropriate for the occasion and it did much toward the advertising of the atfair. The April Fool Edition pub'ished on the first of April was a big su prise to everyone. It was the first one ever put out in Minden High School. It was well liked by everyone because it was so cra y. The success of the paper is due to Miss Tuck who has proven her artistic ability to be much greater than the average. Miss Tuck will leave us this year and her splendid work will be sadly missed by all. We hope that the one who takes her place can do equally as well. The various English classes have contributed short stories for the Log and they were appreciated very much by the staff. 1111 M-H 1 1 1 1 ! 1 ! ■! ! -i'-H-H “Education Through Experience H-H-I-r-j- rv 1 1-H-1 1 H--H- 1-H !

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT IN ACTION COMMERCE DEPARTMENT This department has approached the year’s activities with a vocational aim playing the dominant role in classroom planning and participation. The instructors in this field are fully aware of the fact that “learning to do comes by actually doing. In light of this discovery, the students in Shorthand and Typing have had actual office experience with Mr. Taylor in the general administrative work. They take office dictation and learn th technique of office organization. The students in General Business took a trip to Pittsburg to observe the actual working of the telephone and postal system; the thing being discussed in class at that time. The commerce department takes more students into its classroom every year. We find a larger enrollment this year than in any of the fine preceding years. Students are realizing the value of such vocational training in a world demanding efficiency in these various activities.
