Representatives of the PTQSS OURNALISM has been very much in the spotlight since the com- ing of a new adviser, Philip K. Erickson, from Seattle. In spite of extreme rises in the cost of printing and materials, Olympia's pub- lications have improved, when many other schools have been forced to discontinue journalism activities. New equipment has been added, alterations made, and many of the finest features of metropolitan journalism introduced. Students made a comparative study of high school papers through- out the country and decided that their own Olympus ranked right at the top. So fat' Z-IS the 3I11'1L13l is COI1CCI'I1Cd, staff workers hope that their efforts to make the 1935 book an outstanding one have not been without reward. A difficult and expensive task, getting out a high SCl100l Hnllllill, and the editors Want to fl'13I1li CVCIY 0116 Wl'1O had 3. part in the yearbook's success. The annual is a new size, with an entirely novel form of makeup and layout-very modern in its whole, with more photography than usual and with copy presented in typical American journalese. Alice Schmidt, as editor, directed the work, four juniors-Glen Swan, Nell Hoyt, Jocelyn Dohm and Betty Fultz-admirably aiding her. Frank Kenney, alumnus, kindly volunteered his services as staff photographer and did a good job of it. Ida Gage kept the accounts straight, and Irwin Maxwell, assisted by Shirley jones, stepped out and broke all circulation records by raising more than 950 pledges for annuals. Merwin I-Ienslin, aided by Virginia McCarty, handled the advertising. 'Way up there in the corner is Philip K. Erickson, journalism adviser. The iirocluctimi staff of The Olym- pus, this book, appears directly ovt-rlieetd. Ai the extreme left, the yearbook heads: Merwin Henslin, Ida Gage and Alice Schmidt, with Assist- ants Glen Swan, Nell Hoyt, Shir- ley Jones, Jocelyn Dohm and Lois Morrisson at the right.

Auf Wiedersehen S the last: lap of their high school career draws to a close, the class of '55 will soon be able only to remember four crowded years of assem- blies, athletic endeavors and the ordinary hurly- burly, intermingled with an occasional glorious ex- am. First in their memory, however, will be things of the last year in which they took part. Many and varied were these activities-hence de- lightful the recollections. The Senior Ball, the Senior Play, the class as- sembly and class day, all annual events were ex- tremely successful, but longer will be remembered Costume Day and Senior Courtesy, both originat- ed by this versatile class. On Costume Day, se- niors could for rather could notj be recognized because of their complete disguises. Richmen, poormen, beggarmen and thieves, all were present, along with representatives of many nations. Even the kindergarten exponents ap- peared. The Courtesy Plan provided that all seniors leave the auditorium before their lower classmates. f0h, for the life of a Seniorlj A time comes for a serious occasion for everyone. The Baccalaureate service, with its profound beauty, provided spiritual food for the '35-ers. Graduation-caps and gowns, diplomas, honors, flowers, relations, happy boys and girls-graduation, the end of high school, who could ever forget its simple pageantry? One wants to be remembered as well as to remember. Thus the Senior gift. It caused a quandary in the minds of the gift committee, but finally they blossomed forth with a brilliant idea, and this year's gift is again the best ever given. Nevertheless, the trophy cases left by the Class of ,35 - filled a long-felt need, added a great deal to the main corridor, and here- after it will be unnecessary to pilot visitors into the attic to display our honors. Near the top, reading horizontally from top to bottom, are the leaders of the Class of l35: Brooke Fink and John Ful- ler, presiilentsg Philip Lynch and VVayne Caldwell, vice presidentsg Mildred Rut- ledge and Barbara Cohoon, secretaries: L e W i s Hawthorne, treasurer: Rowena Dawley and Betty Secrest, representa- tivesg XVillard Miller, representative, and Thomas Ratliff and Wanda Sousie, yell leaders.
