J-ke yl titto One of the hardest working and most de- pendable organizations in high school is our schoolpaper staff. Positions on the Mirror staff are open to any student, regardless of class. The only qualifications necessary are ability to write and willingness to work. This newspa- per work offers valuable experience to the stu- dents. The Mirror staff this year set a record by publishing a paper every two weeks. When the call was made for students interested in helping to make their school paper a success, the results were most gratifying. After a few copies had been edited, the number was re- duced to the size of a workable staff. The co- operation and interest of the staff was some- thing to be marveled at. The members of the staff learned the dif- ferent types of stories, how to recognize news, how to write up a story in an interesting style, how to sell advertising, and how to approach people for interviews. Much of the success of the Mirror is due to the business men of Stevens Point who again came through with their support, making it possible to distribute the paper free of charge to the students. The Mirror has no other source of revenue except that received from advertis- ing. Mr. Speerstra was the editorial and me- Editor CARMEN BROOKS Associate Editor DOHOTHY ROSS chanical advisor of the Mirror this year. Under his supervision, members of the advanced printing class put in many hours after school and on Saturdays in order to insure publica- tion every two weeks. Although the print shop was rushed at times with more work than they could possibly do, nevertheless, they put other things aside when an issue of the Mirror was due. Through the mid-year graduation of Car- men Brooks, the editor, and Dorothy Ross, the assistant editor and advertising manager, the Mirror was at quite a disadvantage the second semester, but it was published regardless of these handicaps. ■ -.-- 28

Cu For those students who have dramatic ability, or are interested in some other phase of play production, the P. J. Jacobs High School has organized a dramatic club, known by that name. The purpose of the club is to aid those students so inclined m developing to the full- est possible extent their present ability. New members are received into the club twice a year, at the begin- ning of each semester. Before being accepted as members of the Drama- tic Club, the applicants are required to pass preliminary tryouts. At this time each one is judged separately on the basis of enunciation, voice, resonance, acting ability, interpre- tation, and facial expression. All students who fulfill all the require- ments are invited to join and be- come regular members. Under the constant supervision of its most capable advisor, Miss Dorothea Wolfe, the Dramatic Club has become a very popular club with all the students. This year the Dramatic Club again entered into the state one-act play contest. The name of the play which they presented was Prize Money. At the district contest held at the Cen- tral State Teachers College, Stevens Point was given an A rating which enabled them to par- ticipate in the state contest at Madison where they received a C rating. As another project for the year, the club is now preparing to present a three act play on March 5, entitled The Late Christopher Bean. The club presents a play each year, and by the splendid way • C in which the play has been progress- ing, we contemplate that it will be a great success. Miss Wolfe is also director of the junior and the senior class plays. Meetings of the Dramatic Club are held every first and third Mon- day of each month. At the club meetings students often present one- act plays and at other times some members will do some research on a very famous play or playwright, and present it as a topic to the rest of the club. In this way the members become better ac- quainted with the dramatic world. The officers of the club for this year were: President Betty Steckel Vice president Fred Harriman Secretary-treasurer Dorothy Jenkins TOP ROW — Hansmann, Norminqton, Ray Lee, Rob lee, Go ' omski, Johnson, Mase THIRD ROW — Komasa, Menzel, Dick Becker, Ray Becker, Kitzrow, Graham, Hope, Jenkins, Daniels, Larwence, Baldwin SECOND ROW — Price, Bergen, Zieper, Courtney, Martens.
