The Monroe High School Bulletin THE Bulletin Staff has been successful this year in its efforts to turn out a high class newspaper. This is due not only to the hard work done by Staff members, but also to tin splendid cooperation of everyone in school. That the Bulletin this year has been better than at any previous time is shown by the Second (’lass rating awarded it at the recent Central Interscholastic Press Association contest. This rating was given after a thorough examination of four consecutive issues had been made. The results of this critical review were compiled in a score hook which was sent hack to the Editof, so that he might know just where the paper could he improved and what were tin good points of it. At the Basketball Tournament held in the armory this year several members of the Staff conducted an information booth. They directed strangers about town and gave out other desired information. Saturday, March 13, the last day of the tournament a Bulletin Extra was published. It contained accounts of the different games and teams and summed up the whole tournament. Pictures of winning teams and names of players were printed. It came off the press soon after the final whistle of the tournament was blown. A convention of members of ( I. P. A. was held in Madison, November 27 and 28. The Bulletin sent Herbert Tsehudy, Harold Schneider, Helen Sipple, and Miss McKellar as delegates. A Cub Staff was made up of beginners in newspaper work at the first of tin year. Almost all who were on this Staff have stuck to their work and as a result many of them are on the Staff for next year. On May 7th the Bulletin Staff held an Apache party in the gym. A treasure hunt started the evening and was followed by dancing and refreshments. Much credit for the success of the Bulletin this year is due to the Sponsor, Miss McKellar. She has always been ready to help Staff members at any time and has worked unceasingly for the paper’s welfare. [ Page Eighteen ]

The M Book THK “M” Hook Staff lias done its best to make this a worthwhile project. Work has been going on for about a month. The Staff for this book was picked from tin entire school and was not merely the Bulletin Staff, although many were on both Bulletin and “MM Hook staffs. Place were open for everyone who cared to work on this book. Millicent Marsh was in charge of the Faculty department. The different classes were written up under tin direction of Lawrence Courtney. Karl Trukenbrod was at the head of Organizations; Athletics was cared for by Bradford Drake; Hetty Germann supervised work on Features, and Theodora Thompson took care of the Humor Section. Circulation of the book was in charge of Harold Burgi. Harold Schneider took care of the business end. Photographs of the Faculty, Classes, and Organizations were taken at Frautschy’s studio. Different gtoups were assigned to appear for their pictures. The work of managing the picture taking was under the supervision of Harvey Keel. “The M Hook ’ is the first publication of its kind that has ever been attempted in Monroe High School. For that reason it has been more or less of an experiment. If it is as successful as it promises to be, next year will see a bigger and more thorough year book. Many other schools smaller than Monroe have had successful annuals each year and there is no reason why we can not. The printing of this book was done by the Service Printery which also prints the Bulletin every two weeks. Photographs appearing in this book were sent to the Rockford Illustrating Company where cuts of them were made in order that they might be printed. The name, “The M Hook”, was chosen after a number of persons had submitted ideas for it. “M” stands for everything that pertains to Monroe High School. There are the Citizenship, the Athletic, and the Scholarship M’s; and each tells a story of work for the school. The M. Book is a story of the work and the play of the year. For this reason the name was chosen. | Page Seventeen ]

Although it was started at the beginning of this year and is a new type of organization for Monroe High School girls, it has succeeded in fu’filling its purpose of creating a greater interest among girls for physical activities and personal hyg'ene. Miss Roese is responsible for starting the society and has acted as sponsor for the girls. She has accompanied the girls on hikes and lias kept up interest in the work. All girls in the Junior and Senior High Schools are eligible for membership in the G. A. A. A system ha; been worked out whereby points are awarded for hiking, attendance at school, and meeting other requirements. When any girl earns 500 points she is given a white sweater with a red “M” on it. Two hundred and fifty of these points must be earned by hiking and the rest in other ways. A special award is given at the end of each year to the girl having the highest number of points. The G. A. A. has hiked to Juda in a group twice and individual members have taken other hikes. A successful party was held early in the year. A picnic, wiener roast, and roller skating parties have been held during the year. Meetings are held in the Main Room after school on Wednesday of every other week. They begin with business, after which a program is held. Several yells have been written by G. A. A. members and given at the meetings. Officers for the first semester were: Presi- dent, Evelyn Gorham; Vice President, Gladys Oslerbind; Secretary, Helen Ruehle; Treasurer, Grace. Holcomb; Recording Secretary of Senior High, Beatrice Lamholey; of the Junior High. Marion Stuart. Officers for the second semester were: Presi- dent, Gladys O.sterbind; Vice President, France: Moritz; Secretary, Mae McGinlev; Treasurer, Mary Decoster, Evelyn McQuillan; Recording Secretary of Senior High, Florence Chambers; of Junior High, Janet Benkert.
