THE SPOTLIGHT Just as the Indians set down happenings on birch bark, so we braves of today have a group picked from the Gleaner staff, whose duty it is to keep a record of all important occasions in our school life. These records are sorted and organized, to be published about once every two months on our modern birch bark, the pages of The Spotlight. The motto, puts you on the spot,” was very aptly carried out by the society editors, who, it seems, caused the transformation of many of our pupils' complexions to the ruddy hue of that race whom we of the Gleaner staff are taking as a model—the bright red of the Indians. However, few took offense, and, in all other branches, the paper staff succeeded very well in capturing the setting down in an interesting manner, all the happenings of importance during the past school year. They have given us accurate accounts of parties, athletic events, debate, glee clubs, and, in fact, all activities. The fact that our paper had no facilities for photography hindered the staff not at all, for very apt portrayals of news in pictorial form proceeded from the pens of Bob Hahn and Norman Harms. Arline Devereaux, Mildred Wiseman, Audrey Daniels, and Donna Fae Banks succeeded in digging up all the dirt any four people are capable of getting. Ida Margaret Sweeney reported on tribal activities and Lucille McCarthy kept the Indians in good humor. Montross Pelton and Eileen Whitty took care of braves' and maidens' sports, respectively. All the material was organized and assembled by the editor, Evan Schuette, to be censored and passed by Miss Hart, of the Council of Elders. And so, after the work of ail these people had been put into it, The Spotlight was passed on to the Indians for their enlightenment. TOP ROW—Norman Harms, Evan bchuette, Robert Hahn, Montross Pelton.
