The Legend Staff It was the Class of 1938 that proudly presented the first issue of The Leg- end . Since that time, Shickshinny High School has grown both in its popula- tion and its scope of activities. The yearbook has progressed step by step with the educational institution which it represents. This spring a group chosen from the graduating class has compiled an authoritative account, in words and pictures, of the school year 1940-1941. Below are pictured the staff members of the 1941 version of The Legend . The Wi1dcat's Cry Every Friday morning found students eagerly waiting for copies of the Shick- shinny Mountain Echo with its page devoted to school news under the title The Wildcat's Cry. The name was suggested by the ferocious school mas- cot, the wildcat. Although this page was begun by members of the senior class, not long after its first issue journalistic minded juniors were added to the staff. The combined talents of these poten- tial journalists produced a publication greatly enjoyed by all its readers. THE LEGEND STAFF Sitting: t'. M4-rvn. J. Hurt.-r, Miss Shuntz, H.

Nursing Club The purpose of the Nursing Club is to give authentic information regarding nursing to girls who are interested in making this profession their life-work, During the year several nurses were invited to give talks regarding the var- ious phases of nursing and the require- ments to enter the field. Mrs. Wolfe, of Shickshinny: Miss Henderson, of Wilkes-Barre: and Miss Aimetti, state nutritionist, are among those who pre- sented interesting information to the girls.

The Lettermen's Club The Lettermans Club is composed of the participants in athletic events Whose ability and superior achievement have merited them the coveted S, the school letter. This club has assisted in improving conditions in the school dur- ing the lunch hour by organizing var- ious games through which those inter- ested might find recreation. This Win- ter's volley-ball tournament was an ex- ample. Another accomplishment of the club was the repainting of the boundary markings on the gymnasium floor. First ROW: Tl. Hill, M.

The Student Council Another addition to the swiftly growing scope of activities in Shickshinny High is the Student Council, a representative unit of the student body, which was organized late in Ianuary by Mr. Scott. The members of this group num- ber nine-four seniors, three juniors, and two sophomores-all selected for service by popular ballot. Among the worthy projects sponsored and directed by the Council are the regulation of hall traflic, the formulation of schedules for noon-hour sports, and the May Dance with the Crowning of the May Queen and Sports King. Contest Winners ANNA GRACE SAMPSON MAY GREGORY Early this spring the American Magazine Youth Forum organized a contest, awarding prizes to the most convincing essays on i'What Americanism Means to Me. and to the most original piantings on the theme What My Community Contributes to the Nation. Two en- tries by students of our high school received high honors in the local contest sponsored by the Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce. A painting by May Gregory captured first prize in the art division and an essay by Anna Grace Sampson won third place in the literary division of the contest. 32
