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.

The Student Council serves as a type of legis- .-Xudite, cives. Sou Tl ian Student Council lative body for the school, as the members are representatives from the junior high and senior high school classes and also the various organi- zations. The council makes rules and regulations gov- erning the students and their activities. lt makes plans for the various convocations and schedules dances and other events of the year. The jukc box is also kept in good condition for these dances. Many more students were able to go to the out- of-town basketball games this year because of the Booster Bus, which was sponsored by the Student 5 Louncil Que of the major problems that was. brought up before the council was the question of making track a more prominent sport than it has been in the past. They have also undertaken the sponsorrhip of an award for the athlete making the greatest improvement in track. COUNCIL OFFICERS President ..............,.............

It isn't Greek though-it's the Latin phrase used to open Latin Club meetings. VVhile we are on the subject of the Latin Club, let's find out a little about this organization. The club is a chapter of a national organization called the Junior Classical League. Not all members of the club belong' to the national organization, however. Each. club member is assigned to one of seven Roman families Qliracchus, Vergilius, Pompeius, Hora-- tius. Valerius, Tullius, and Liviusj and he chooses a Latin name to which he answers at roll call. Remember being dismissed early the afternoon- of March 1? The Latin Club arranged with the' higher powers for our release from part of our afternoon classes for that one day, when every student in grades seven to twelve bought at least one victory stamp during the month of February.
