Hilltop As the first edition of the Hilltop rolled off the press this year, the paper began another of the many years it has been part of our school. There are several new things about our school paper this year. The size has been re- duced into a handy tabloid from the large edition of former times. Also, the staff is made up of both juniors and seniors. Nearly all members of the staff study journalism before they can qualify as a Writer or editor. This year several freshmen Were allowed to take this subject, in order to better prepare themselves for staff membership. In this course, the aspiring journalist learns the When, why, where, Who, and how of newspaper Writing. The next year he may become a full-fledged member of the staff. This organization is made up of various departments. One of the most important of these is the news department. The students of the section snoop around and see What's cookin' in R. L. H. S. Not all of the paper is news, however. Somewhere in a dark corner lurks the feature department, whose editor is nearly driven mad while trying to dream up something different. The sports department adds zest to the paper with sparkling synopses of games-ffootball, basketball, baseball, G. A. A. and intramurals. After all ar- ticles are Written up, they go to the printer, and in due time, galleys are received. Then proof-reading must be done, the paper must be set up, and headlines must be written. Besides putting out a paper, the Hilltop staff participates in several other activities. ln the spring the staff and journalism class combine to put on the spring frolic. The staff members attend the annual York-Adams County press conference, or even entertain the journalists from other schools at Red Lion High. Routine Work and problems are taken care of in every Monday morning meeting with the advisor, Miss Farlling. In addition to this editorial staff, there is a business staff which takes care of such matters as advertising and circulation. Both of these units com- bine to produce a school paper that has enjoyed success and popularity for many years. ol 28 fs

Orchestra Every Monday morning this group of fourteen tunes up and practice gets under Way. Now cmd then a Word ot reproach comes from the director. No, no! you must use an up-bow, not down-bow. Please, don't slur your notes, clarinetsg tongue them. Sott orchestral music issues from 8B when this group practices. Mellow horn passages float from the depth ot the orchestra and a tympani roll suggests tar-off thunder. Naturally there are some mistakes, the students just wouldn't be normal it there We-ren't! As a member of the orchestra, the young music student begins to get around a little. The group turnishes entertainment tor some ot the dramatic productions ot our school: this year it provided music tor one night of the senior play. Most important of all to the organization is, ot course, its concert with the junior band in the spring. o,27fo Miss Kostenbader, head of the talent bureau, discusses an uengagement with foul' registered students
