Iournalism is not only a class assembled to produce a school newspaper, but offers valuable experience in journalistic procedures. Monthly deadlines, page dummies, half-filled stories decorated with red ink, hunting up news that is incomplete, not turned in, or just plain lost: all these mean something to the members of the SPOTLIGHT staff, though they may hold different meanings for various members. For instance, a deadline on a story is a nuis- ance to a reporter, but an absolute necessity to a page editor. journalism has been defined as: the col- lection and periodical publication of current news, the business managing, editing, or writ- ing for periodicals and journals. It is certain that SPOTLIGHT has maintained and often surpassed this definition. To encourage the sale of the newspaper the spring class decided to sell tickets for a SPOTLIGHT Review. The entertainment in- cluded sorne professionals and some student talent. Sixty-one

Service with a smile! Another pound? eruice Lost in the legends of antiquity are the quaint tales of Brownieswlittle creatures who aided good folk and hindered bad, asking only a saucer of milk in return. At Soldan the corresponding group is better known as the Service Club, but the member brownies ask nothing in return for their time. Here you will find some of the most devoted, helpful, and loyal students at Soldan. The qualifications for rnembershipv-high grade point and citizenship-explain the in- stinctive reaction of members even while off- duty to guests in our corridors. Seeing a puzzled face searching for the office or a particular room brings the immediate response: - May l help you? -and the visitor is ably directed toward his destination. While on duty, Service Club members aid the school in such various facets as office assistants, librarians, lunchroom workers, as- sistants to the doctor or nurse, gym helpers and projectionists. The importance of these jobs, however small, is easily exemplified. What utter chaos would result from such a seemingly insignificant task as the sorting of absentee slips, if it were left undone! Workers in the lunchroom help the staff to serve the noon meal in surroundings that are orderly and sanitary. Many students work behind the counter to sell the food while others straighten and clean the lunch- room between lunch periods. Checks, also handled by Service Club members, are sold before school and at the beginning of each lunch period. Gym helpers relieve the physical education teachers of some of their load by refereeing games. This service allows the teachers to take care of much of their paper work and facilitates more personal supervision. Sixty-three
