JOURNALISM CLASSES The Hi-Nus, weekly school paper, was successful in publishing 15 issues of variety in appearance and content, under the leadership of Miss Frances Bradley, adviser, Lillian Anderson, editor, and George Newcomb, business manager. Numerous feature stories and the clever art work of Ed Corbett, 1-12 student, aided the classes in printing i attractive issues. Two special editions were printed, a “Razzberry” edition and the “Inklings” literary supplement issue. The latter included a supplementary sheet filled with original student writings. The practice of printing a literary supplement at least once a term may become a customary feature of the paper in the future. Four members of the journalism classes attended the Press Day Convention at the University of California and learned new ideas for school publications. The Shield, semi-annual publication, is also put out by the journalism students. Student reporters from both classes are selected to write articles for the book. Another accomplishment of the journalism group this semester was the partial financing of a new speed-graphic camera and enlarging equipment.
