JOURNALISM WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE STAFF experiencing their first taste of news-writing, the journalism class, during the past semester, published sixteen issues of the Hi-Nus and assisted in the writing of the “Pageant”. On November 3, eight reporters attended the Central California Press Convention which was held at Stanford University. They attended sectional meetings, listened to speeches by various newspaper men, and made a tour of the campus. Those who attended the convention were: Alden Pratt, Bud McLaughlin, Jack McKune, Elton Williams, Robert Martin, June Hopper, Willa LaPlante and Margaret Casey. They were accompanied by Miss Norine Buchanan, journalism instructor. The Bay District Press Day, which was sponsored by the University of California campus publications, was held on December 17. The outstanding feature of the day was a speech by Royce Brier, San Francisco reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize. Butler Lauritzen and Bud McLaughlin were the Richmond representatives. Alden Pratt, who was one of the three members of the class who had previous jour- nalistic training, proved to be a competent editor. Jack McKune and Margaret Casey, also second-term journalists, served as business manager and humor editor. The remainder of the staff consisted of the following: Willa LaPlante, make-up editor; Bob Canning and Bud McLaughlin, boys’ sports editors; June Hopper, girls’ sports editor; Elton Williams, feature editor; Robert Schultz, circulation manager; Butler Lauritzen, exchange editor; Bob Martin, headline writer; Angelo Combis, alumni editor; Dorothea Davis, school notes editor; Delphina Franco, proof reader; and Ray McPherson, photographer. ORCHESTRA AFTER PARTICIPATING at numerous programs, rallies, games and other school func- tions, the Richmond Union High Schoo! band and orchestra will conclude a successful semester January 25. There are 37 members in the R. U. H. S. band, and 29 members in the orchestra. Both organizations are directed by Mr. George Morris. For the purpose of starting a benefit fund for the purchase of new band uniforms, a football game was played between the senior and the lower classmen on November 7 of last semester. Although the proceeds did not amount to enough to purchase the uniforms immediately, there is sufficient to make a favorable start.

RICHMOND PRESS CLUB PLANS For A Press Cius had been suggested in the past but it w re put into effect by the organization of the Rich- as not until October 2 of this semester that the plans we mond Press Club. Fred S. Newsom, manager of the Richmond Daily Independent, spoke at the first meeting on various phases of newspaper work that the club might study. The second and third meetings were devoted to adoption of the constitution and election of officers. The officers of the semester were: Phil Goetell, president: Ruth Robinson, vice-president; Margaret Casey, secretary; Catherine Healy, treasurer; and Willa La Plante, publicity agent. On December 4 the club visited the Oakland National Engraving company. The object of the Richmond Press Club is to bring all students who have taken, or are taking journalism into closer relationship, to have social affairs, and to study various phases of journalism. The alumni present at the meetings were Ruth Robinson, who was instrumental in forming the club, and who was temporary chairman; Mrs. George Garrard (Mary Lou Hollyman), Ruth Yeater, Catherine Healy, David Newsom, Bernice Jaramillo, Grace Childs, James Miller, Mary Ellen Foley, Margaret Jenkins, and Dorothy West- wood. 1.

(Continued from Page 14) Joseph Duarte managed to keep them quiet, amusing them by making funny faces. Al Ljutic, Ed Lewis, Joe Michelis and Lawrence Myhre were busy euzzling soda pop while they were supposed to be getting the horses saddled for the grand march, and poor Chester (or could it be Lester?) Clark was hauling water to the elephants. And so it went, here, there, and everywhere, the high seniors were romping about, excitedly engaged in enjoying themselves in this, their final day of freedom and frolic. Well, it’s too bad there isn’t room to describe the actual show, but you may be sure it was a gala, colorful affair. pet
