The stafi was appointed after tryouts had been held for everyone interested, instead of being selected by the editor and faculty advisor. The paper was printed at the Free Press office instead of in ( hicago; it appeared more frequently than in other years, ads were used to help defray expenses, the pages had four columns and were larger than those of past years, and there was no X-Ray annual. circulation campaign was begun when the staff put on an assembly in which they presented “The X-Ray Office,’’ a one act comedy. Free copies of the first issue were distributed to all students. The staff members were given territories in town in which tc get subscriptions. . . For the most part, a certain routine was followed through the year in getting out each issue. Assignments were made at a staff meeting, and when the stories had been wTitten they w’ere handed to the news editor who in turn handed them to the copy readers The editor then wrote the headlines, had all material typed, and completed page makeups. After the work had been linotyped it was sent back to be proofread. variety of makeups for the front page was used, no two issues being identical. The content varied also from that of other years. In each issue were announcements of the coming events, news of the many societies or clubs, classroom news which is alwavs of interest, and athletic news. The voice of the student, a new department, gave every student the right to express his ideas on school topics. 1 erson-als, little comments on the papers of other schools, and a humor department were al- so used. . The staff deserves much credit for the work they have done and the time spent in getting the paper out. Harry Cortright, the editor, deserves special mention because of his efforts to make the paper a success. Financially, the X-Ray was not very successful this year, but in improvement o! make-up and content it advanced further this year than in any other. 31 !a. —cll-LR— ll-ffJ—— 11-0 si :Q

 GLEE CLUB A very active organization in Sandwich Township High School and one which adds much to the pleasure of school life is the music department. Under the leadership of Miss Hennis both the Boys and Girls’ Glee Clubs have been successfully maintained this year. At the beginning of the year a change was made in the functioning of the department. Formerly the boys had their rehearsal during school hours, the girls theirs after school, and the boys’ and girls chorus rehearsed twice a week. This proved rather unsatisfactory so a new plan was devised. The girls this year met on Monday, during the eighth hour, the boys on W ednesdays and both boys and girls rehearsed on Thursdays. This gave an opportunity for four part music to be practiced separately by boys and girls before combining all parts. The Girls’ Glee Club, made up of twenty-nine members, has been singing two, three and four part music. The Boys’ Glee Club, made up of eighteen members, has been singing two and four part music, interspersed with unison songs. Besides the regular work the organizations have appeared in public several times. The first appearance was at night school in an Armistice Day program. Later the Girls' Glee Club appeared at the W’oman’s Club. Both times the groups were highly complimented. The chorus provided appropriate music for the Christmas assembly, assisted by a double quartette and celebrated St Patrick’s Day by having a program. The orgin of the day was explained and several solos and readings appropriate to the day were given. Games were played and the entire chorus sang Irish songs at the close of the period. The Girls’ Glee Club assisted in the program broadcast from the American Theatre on May 3. This was a unique experience, and one which few high school musical organizations have had. 3I5 .

Helen Scheidecker SENIOR PLAY “The Goose Hangs High,” a play in three acts, by Lewis Beach, was presented by the Senior class at the high school auditorium Thursday evening, May 19. The cast of characters was as follows: Bernard I meals ......................................

Paul Mailing ? The play deals with an ordinary family who have skimped and saved in order to give their children a college education, the father of the family resigns his position because he believes that his honor and self respect are too valuable to sacrifice to the demands of politicians. After he sends in his resignation he realizes that it will mean that his children will have to give up their college education and he feels very guilty. Granny thinks the parents are very foolish to make sacrifices for their children who, she believes, do not appreciate them. The children show what they are made of by offering to work instead of returning to college. They also plan a way by which their father can go into business in which he has always been interested but which he has never been able to enter because of lack of funds. The thing distinctive about this play is its naturalness and its appeal to all. .”1 1=31 i
