JOURNALISM CLUB Nine recruits joined the Journalism Club. Mr. Levio Zandri is the director.

The group was a bit handicapped this year be- cause all but one were new to the Club. It is estimated that about 1200 inches were written by the group. Last year's group set a new high, 1474 inches to their credit. From Center Up: M. Bellagamba, G. Perini, L. Paterniani, S. Bedini, J. Allegressa, C. Duford, J. Carroll, T. Mitchell, J. Lee, P.

An Autumn, Christmas, and a Spring issue have been published. The Graduation issue is to be distributed early in june. Many new articles have been added to the magazine to make it more interest- ing. The staff included students from the different high school classes. Miss Eleanor L. Burdick, Mr. Levio G. Zandri, and Mrs. Ella E. Whitcomb were the faculty advisors. They really did an excellent job and the staff would like to express their appreciation to them for their assistance and cooperation. The editor this year is Bernice Bedini. Bernice has been editor for two consecutive years and has done an effective piece of work with our magazine. Last year, the Hilltop Dispatch received second place honors in the Annual Columbia Scholastic Con- test. We hope the Hilltop Dispatch of 1948 will receive hrst award.
