Meador, Sawada. and Alonzo Plan the Mohian In the Mohian the sweetest memories of the Senior class are gathered and brought to a climax, and the activities of the three other classes of Murphy High School are disclosed. The Mohian workers are di- vided into two groups—the Editorial Staff, under the supervision of the Editor, Jack Meador, and the Business Staff, under the supervision of the Business Manager, George Sawada. The work of the former is to gather, revise, and ar- range all material in a maner so interest- ing that it will preserve the memory of the 1937 class to all its predecessors. The Business Staff attends to the advertise- ments. anti the business side of the Mohian worker. Upon the shoulders of these workers rest the edition of Murphy s an- nual.

Kohn Interview Martini What goes on behind the scenes in the Murphy Hi Times press room was made an open secret when the editorial and business staffs of the school newspaper presented a playlet in assembly to herald the subscription campaign. Students hold- ing executive positions on the staff were at home on the stage as they made ready to put the third issue to bed. History was in the making when the Hi Times staff arranged the 1936 debut of the paper for the first day of school. Besides making the first issue a free one, the staff repeat- ed this generous gesture by giving away the third issue. The goal for the year was eighteen editions—an increase of four over last year.

Histcty Tc t Members The following are . members of the History and Social Science Departments (reading from left to right): Forehand. Hamil, Unzicker. Miss Sallie Withers. Chairman. Alexander. Kreland. Michael. Hand, Foote, and Hart:rove. His Own Country Governed by the theory that the experi- ence of others is the best means of solving our own problems of today, the Social Science Department searches world move- ments of both the past and present. They study the development and policies of peo- ple and nations and note policies which have proved valuable or useless, economi- cally sound or wasteful. The purpose of the department is to develop intelligent trustworthy citizens in a changing civili- zation; to inspire them with courage for the right and skill to lead or to follow leadership. Murphy’s youth and their guidance is the constant cry of the Civics division of the Social Science Department. Better people for better living is their watch- word. Most of the classes are discussion groups, and many surprising questions are brought up. Does a dog think? Would you fight in an offensive as well as a defensive war? Do I spend my money wisely? How can I develop a more pleas ing personality? These are discussed and numerous tests are given which show character and personaliy. 18
