Since 1920 the 'iKentonian has been the herald and recorder of the student activities at Ken Hi. lt has been not only of service to the student body, but also of value in giving its editors and reporters practical experience as evidenced by the number of former Kentonian workers now engaged in active newspaper work. Primarily a student publication, the Kentonian has given its staff members an excellent outlet for self-expression. Consequently, the fifteenth volume of the Kentonian has been no exception in regard to new ideas. This year the paper has won wide acclaim through its series of Guest Articles, which were written for the Kentonian by well-known leaders in business, educa- tion, politics, industry, and the sciences. Outstanding among these were Henry Horner, Governor of lllinoisg j. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Roy A. Hunt, President of the Aluminum Company of America, State Senator Benjamin H. Thompson, Edward R. Weidlein, Director of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, and Harold L. lckes, Secretary of the Interior. Two additional features inaugurated by the staff of 193586 were The Man in the Hall and the Roses and Thistles columns. As a special Christmas attraction, the HKentonian was printed in two colors, with an exclusive Christmas story by Betsey Barton, daughter of Bruce Barton. The Kentonian stag, at the end of a most successful year, may feel justly proud that it has set a precedent which future journalism classes will do well to follow. 1Pugc 691

BOARD OF ACTIVITIES OFFICERS Ken Hi has been fortunate in having a Board of Activities whose duty it has been to keep the social affairs of the school in smooth running order. At the beginning of the year the board acquired two new members from the sophomore class, and it didn't take these new members long to realize the diversity in the scope of the board's work. lt acted as an arbitrator between classes and clubs, it considered applicants for any official position in the high school teamsg and to the best of its ability, it coped with the numerous little details that bobbed up. The board has been able to help some of the students to pay their activities subscriptions by its yearly candy sale. Also, with the permission of the organiza- tion, a novel entertainment was put on in the form of a musical comedy which was sponsored by the junior class. The board has helped Victor De Santo's or- chestra by sponsoring the first tea dance of the year, the proceeds of which were used to purchase music for that organization. The outstanding social event was the banquet, an annual affair in which representatives of all the clubs were brought together. The Board of Activities has included the following representatives: Mr. Chap- man, Mr. Weaver, Miss Watson and Mr. Vorlage of the faculty: joy Edelson and Sammy Sampson of the Class of 19365 Edith Roberts and William Alex of the Class of 19375 and Helen Murray and Richard Freeman of the Class of 1938. fPuge 70 j President ...........
