RODEO - ALALLAGO ) The Rodeo, which came into existence In 1924, has served very well ns a school news chronicle. However, last year the need was felt for an addit- ional publication, and so the Alallago. a mimeo- graphed record of school events, gossip, and jokes was presented by the 1938 Rodeo staff and sponsor. Miss Davis. Its name was chosen from a large num- ber submitted in a name contest, and spells Ogallala backwards. This year the Rodeo was printed in the Keith County News each week, as formerly, and the Alallago. was edited every six weeks instead of once a month as in its original year. Student compositions of various types were printed in the six-weeks publication, thus furnish- ing opportunity for journalistic talents to be ex- hibited. The Rodeo continued to furnish class news and general school information to patrons of the school, thanks to the cooperation of the Rodeo- Alallago staff and the Keith County News. As ). H. S. has nr course in Journalism, these publica- tions, as they were organziod, gave those students interested in this type of work, a slight insight into and some experience in the gathering and publish- ing of news, as well as extra curricular credits. FUTURE TEACHERS The officers of the club for the first semester were: president. Junior Gemmcll; vice-president, Ixiis Peterson: secretary-treasurer, Ernest Welsh; Rodeo reporter. Anne Marie Schulz. For the second semester: president, Anne Marie Schulz: vice-presi- dent. Bonita East burn; secretary-treasurer, Elaine WIest; Rodeo reporter. Bernice Stark.

They have started a scrap book, Teacher's Museum of Arts and Ideas.” which consists of ideas presented in art projects. The Future Teacher's room was designed as a model rural school room. Each month a committee was appointed to take care ot window decorations, pictures, calendar, and bulletin board. Pictures were taken of the various sand-tables. The scrapbook was dedicated to Dale Payne, whose sudden death at the end of the first semester caused the class to grieve. Ernest Welsh dropped school at the second semester.
