THE PASEO PRESS The NRA exacted its influence even in the school life, as the Press, the first semes- ter, conducted the subscription campaign using the same letters with the meaning Now Read Allf' This is the first time the campaign has been handled by the news- writers as the Student Council Representa- tives formerly had that responsibility. When Oliver Payne, the editor, became R. O. T. C. colonel the Press had a banner- head, an event which occurs only on the most important occasions. Nine staff members were elected into the Quill and Scroll and Paul Brown and Esther Peek received honorable mention for entries sent into one of the contests sponsored by the Quill and Scroll. All the members of the newswriting class have received other honors and have found their journalism course a great aid in activities both in and outside of school. All clubs in school, the National Honor Society, the R. O. T. C., the athletic teams, the Paseon staff, and music departments are represented in the class this semester. This group of journalistic enthusiasts, under the direction of Miss Helen Keo- hane and with the help of Mr. Voth and the printing students, also Miss Schmidt and the art classes, who contributed the cartoons, published the Press for seventeen issues in which were included two Treas- ure Chest supplements.
