gaendze Literary Staff XVhat's this-Lockheed's assembly line. Nope, it's our Senior English Class scurrying to get the SPEEDICTTE assembled sd the students of S. H.S. will be hep to school and community news. The SPElCDli'l I'If'S our own high school news- paper and were mighty proud of it. Those in- telligent looking people' working on the produc- tion line are reporters. 'l'hey've always got their nose for news out-especially the humor editor who sometimes gets hers smashed in the scuffle, You can bet we gave our sponsor, Miss Spencer. plenty of headaches. How's about a scoop ? is a familiar question asked of a faculty member or town official and they really cooperate. Also, SH S. students hav- ing talent or some unusual hobby are hounded for interviews. Sonny Sutphin can verify that. It's work, gang, but you'll feel great satisfac- tion in knowing that you took part in the publi- cation of the SPIiliDli'l l'l2. 9 deff. Business Staff Shhh! Quiet please! The business staff is busily at work preparing the SPEEDETTE for publi- cation. Yes, they handle the mechanical end of our newspaper-typing, mimeoscoping, and mi- meographing. Marian Bruce, as publisher, acts as overseer of this staff. Ioan Praed became her assistant after Anna Thompson was forced to resign. Artists Kelley, Mason, and Hanen are making with the drawings while Cramer and Bruce are beating their typewriters to death. Thompson, Praed, and Bennett are mimeographing the paper and there's King checking the finished copies. These students wouldn't be able to do this job effectively if it weren't for the teaching received from Mr. Thompson, one of our capable sponsors. XVorking on the business staff requires accuracy, neatness, and time-but it's great fun, no kiddin', and you'll get a lot of useful knowledge concern- ing the publication of your high school newspaper.

Jlawidua ' Junior Play The Junior play this year was directed by Miss Stout. They gave Huckleberry Finn, a comedy for both young and old. The play was packed with clean, wholesome entertainment without an offen- sive line or situation. Huck Finn became the idol of every boy and girl after the play was given. It dealt with Huck's problems both during child- hood and after. The boyish pranks that Tom Sawyer and Huck played we1'e unbelievable. There was a howl of laughter when handsome Fred Raymond proposed to Aunt Ruth from the wrong book. Wihen john Finn entered into the situation after being thought dead, it appeared that anything was likely to happen in this play. Even though the couch did fall apart in the middle of the play, the juniors produced a great success. VV e all enjoyed it and are looking forward to seeing their senior play.

These seventh and eighth grade clubs met on alternate Monday evenings for their own individual debating. Part of the time they were divided into separate teams and held debates. They never debated with other schools as the sole purpose of these clubs is to gain experience in public speaking and debating before going into the Senior Debate Club. Wllien they enter their senior year. they will have much greater knowl- edge of the fundamentals of debating than if the junior Debate Clubs had never been organized. Their subject for the year has been Capital Punishment and many good points from both the affirmative and negative sides have been brought out. The debate discussions range from those directly concerning' the student to those regarding the nation.
