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. Intramural Champs—Sitting: Pleich, Smersfelt; Standing: Ferguson, Starke, Corr. 2. Yell Leader—Kenny Alexander. (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
