wr' aff- H Tom Hopp skillfully demonstrates, 'lHow to Change a Tire, in Speech class taught by Miss Adeline Hoegberg, dramatics in- structor. Speech is designed to develop better speaking habits, self-confidence, and clarity when talking to a group, and we would certainly give Tom an A if he can clearly explain to most girls the fundamentals of this operation. Life at school functions around certain forms and blanks that are familiar to everyone. There's the bright gold late admit, white and school-skipper's shame yellow absence or tardy slip, green room-to-room forms and more. Other colors and sizes are found in the dull yellow cardboard report, and book cards, while programs card day finds us filling out four of these white beauties. Another blue form is the coveted library admit, while most re- ceipts for dues and subscription payments are white. Last but not least since it is usually the first thing we hear in Home Room each morning is the white, mimeographed HR notice that varies each morning from several lines to a full page and contains all club, class, and special announcements for the day. L5 ef J . Learning by doing, is an East High motto as these pictures prove. Top, Dorothy johnson, jun- ior, interviews Harley Butters, announcer and disc jockey at WROK, to prepare her Newswriting personal interview assignment. Newswriting is an interesting course offered to students with above average English grades who want to learn about journalism. This subject, taught by Miss Marie Johnson, publication adviser, meets three times during the day and from its students are chosen the coming year's Highlights and Argus staffs. The juniors in Newswriting do most of the routine writing for the paper and are assigned regular sources of news, called beats to write on. ,j:j:'faf', T-,wif 'jg nfwfrnsami af rg,- - aff' I . any AJ I J 4 X3 A ,.--17 L.. , 0' , 1 .
