We, the Speedette Stott, Turn the Spotlight . On campus at Indiana University, where they attended the Eleventh High School Journalism lnstitute last summer, Nancy Lewis and Edythe Coulson, co-editors of the Speedette, take pointers from Ed Poste on the use of a Speed-Graphic. While attending the two-week session, Ed re- ceived a first place award for a feature photograph. He and Nancy also received citizenship awards, and Nancy won first place in the ln- stitute talent show. Editors need plenty of good assistance land assist- antsl. Richard Weaver, subscription sales mana- ger, conducted a subscription drive which resulted in the sale of 450 Speedettes. To boost annual purchases the iournalism class presented a skit before the student body. Lee Clark, sports editor, and Gary Borrow, business manager, spent many hours working on their respective staff jobs. Virginia Nizamoff lstondingl editor of the faculty section and chief of the news bureau confers with Mary King, editor of the underclossmen sec- tion, and Helen Hargitt, editor of the senior sec- tion. Virginia also attended the Journalism lnsti- tute Iast summer where she studied news bureau techniques and won first place for a featurette article on Pizza.

Cn Our School Yes, this is our school. Within its walls we have gained six years of knowledge, experience, and maturity. Under the guidance of our teachers we have been instructed in the basic fundamentals of edu- cation, many of which we shall retain, many of which we have al- ready forgotten. We have seen many changes, not only in the world around us, but also in the school of which we are a part. Our music facilities, for example, have expanded from a small room at one end of the mechanical arts department to the modernistic structure pictured above. This building contains large band and chorus rooms, practice rooms, individual compartments for all musical instruments, two lock- er rooms, and a music library. As we shine the spotlight on our most treasured senior memor- ies, we hope that you too will take pleasure in remembering the events of this year---this year of Sputnicks, Edsels, the sack look, and the stroll --most important to us, though, the year of our gradu- ation---1958. -3.
