HHGANIZATIU Mercurius Interesting bits of Ron1a11 history and news events - well, they were news about 2000 years ago - appear in that aristocrat of Latin newspapers, the Merrurius. Sponsored by Miss Wylalld, it is issued several times yearly with an exchange list from Boston to Los Angeles. The staff and sponsor are pictured.

Alltold The Alltold is that snappy little paper which is distributed 11 times a semester. Its subscribers were amused and informed this year by such features as: To Maw from Mandy, Salty Yarns from Other Ports, Well, All Right, and OH' the Record. At mid-year the usual six pages were re- duced to four considerably larger ones. The change was made possible by the installation of new presses in the print shop. The staff, which usually numbers fifteen or sixteen., is advised by Miss Heimhach, jour- nalism instnxctor. The first semester's Alltold was in the capable hands of' Dick Steele, edi- tor-in-chief, Elsie Bickel, associate editor, fl. --.. and Howard Crum, managing editor. The sec- ond semester stafi' elected Norma Lutes as edi- tor-in-chief, Phil Lahr, managing editor, and Robert Currey, associate editor. The Misko- deod staff photographer, Waldell Jansen, fur- nished the journalists with a feature picture nearly every week. The Alltold subscription drive is sure to'pro- vide an amusing morning program. It seems that at a picnic, late in the summer of' 1918, plans were made which materialized into a school paper that same year. A clever staff turned thespian this fall and gave glimpses of' the progress of' the paper at five year in- tervals. The march of time was indicated by so11g hits illustrating the intervals. By the way, the 1918 bathing beauties at the picnic were priceless! The two pictures to the right show the sec- ond semester Alltold staff: those at left center and bottom, that of the first semester.

UHHANIZATIUN Home Economics Club All girls who have completed one semester of class work in Home Economics and have started another are eligible to become mem- bers. The club has a membership so large that interest groups were formed, each of which held separate meetings. Crocheting and em- broidering vied with scrap book making and just plain social activity. The divisions were rightly named interest groups, for every is- sue of the weekly schedule announced two or three gatherings, and needles, yarn, and cro- chet cotton peeped out of pockets and lockers. Shortly before February 22, invitations were received by the members, their mothers., and women of the faculty to attend the annual Martha Washington tea. A lovely tea table ac- tually transformed the cafeteria. The ollicers for the year were Elsie Holi'- man, president: Virginia McKnight, vice- presidentg Hope Barrett, secretary: and Eliza- beth Coeller, treasurer. Miss Sasse, Mrs. Swick- ard, and Miss Carlberg are sponsors. The other picture shows interest group leaders.

Commercial Club The northeast wing of the school building looks and sounds like a busy ollice. In reality, that wing houses the commercial classes which, combined, form one of the largest and most active branches of the curriculum. Out of the interest of students in the com- mercial field grew the Commercial Club, with a membership of 150 students. It is the club which sponsors the mass contests in short- hand, typing, and bookkeeping. Very hand- some awards are given to the three winners, and these awards are presented at the banquet in the spring. Numerous business men are in- vited as guests of the club so that secretaries in the making may meet their future employ- ers. Favors and decorations are chosen with especial care for this occasion. The commercialites are 'LAlways First with the Latestw in the Commercial Hi-Lifes, a newspaper published twice a year. Pictures show Hi-Lites staff and a club meeting.
