journalists in th The Reporters Club was organized in the fall of i948 in order to give freshmen, sophomores, and juniors an opportunity to write for the high school newspaper. The purposes of the club are to develop the creative writing ability of those students inter- ested in collecting material and preparing it for publication in the Blotter, and to give members of the club an insight into the journalistic pro- fession. During club meetings, the members discussed and studied the various types and styles of stories found in the high school newspaper The main project of the club was the selling of official programs during the home football and basketball games This is a very important and worth while duty which was aptly performed by malong the members. Proceeds from program sales are used to send NAHS journalists to state and na- tional journalism conferences. The program sales- men were Doris Scharrer, Joyce Sweet, Lavetta Wimp, Nancy Stillman, Mary Morris, and Jane Murray.

This group, consisting of forty-five members, enables a student to ex- press his ideas concerning school activities and functions.

The officers for the year l95O- Sl were Paul Poff, president, Joyce Flynn, sec- retaryg and Patrick Parker, treasurer. Mrs. Jessie Beard Long and C. Cordon Raney are the spon- sors of the group. The Student Council has accomplished much during the school year. With the cooperation of the Parent-Teacher Association, the council sent four seniors to New York to attend the C-eneral Assembly of the United Nations. The seniors the stud nts chosen for this trip were Mary Ann Burke, Rich- ard Riely, Juanita Ther, and Morton Wolfe, They were accompanied by Miss Leota Rusk, a mem- ber of the social studies department. The organization also sponsored a Parent- Teacher Association program, lt was responsible for the decoration of the school during the Christ- mas season. Members presented a program for the Southeastern Center of Indiana University at Jeffersonville, Square dances given in the gym- nasium were sponsored by the Student Council. This national organization sent four repre- sentatives to the district meeting in Bedford last October. In April, four representatives attended the state meeting in Lafayette. One of the fore- most gatherings is the national convention to be held in Boston in June and which the newly elected president for l95l-52 will attend. 23
