Again six issues of the popular school paper, c'Northwest News in Reviewf, were published with the demand usually exceeding the supply. Although the production of the paper was the primary purpose of the organization, the members spent a consider- able part of their time making programs for all the school activities. Membership in the club gave the students practical experience in setting up and per- forming various types of work.
