Minneapolis. Minn.. has been awarded an All-American Honor Rating. This is regarded as the highest rating a paper can achieve among papers of its class, no matter what honors it may have won in state or sectional press associa- tion contests. The N. S. P. A. is an organization established for the purpose of furthering the interests of all forms of collegiate and scholastic journalism. livery newspaper entered in this contest was classified and rated by means of a printed score hook of 214 pages. This method insures the fairest consideration. There were 6-14-L entries and each placed in a group according to the enrollment of the school. ln our score hook the summary was as folows: News Values and Sources: 230 pointsg News 1Vriting and liditing: 275: liditorials and Enter- taining Matter: 1803 Headlines, Typography, and Make-up: 290. The total score was 950 out of a maximum 1000-a superior rating. This is 170 points more than the l.-A-H received last year and it is the first time that the paper has been awarded the above honor. ln the contest sponsored hy the Columbia Schol- astic Press Association at Columbia University, New York City, the L-A-H was awarded third place. meriting a gold medal superimposed on a H111 Look-.X-Head publication which was en- ter -d in the 1931 All-1 meric: 1 cal - - - ' - ' ' ' ho white ribbon. Our paper merited 78 points out of a possible 100. During the past year another honor came to St. Paul's when they were granted a charter by the Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school journalists. This gives the right to organize a chapter of Quill and Scroll. Those who have satisfied the requirements of the society and have been enrolled as members of this organization are: Ruth Fay. Norbert Gallam, Joseph Gross. Milton Rossman, Leona Hipp, Ruth Ott. Monica Fay. liernadette Reamer, Frederick Cripps. lfllizabeth Corey. Marie Kean and Thomas Dorsey. These are entitled to a year's subscription to the Quill and Scroll magazine. They have also received pins in recognition of their journalistic abilities. To merit awards one must have given unfailing services to the school publication, must have at- tained high scholastic standing, and must have achieved superior work in journalism. A summary of the honors achieved for our school publication follows: ln 1923 third class honors C. l. P. A.g in 192411 and 1925 first prize in Ohio School Contest: in 1926 and 1927 second class honors from the C. l. P. A.: in 1928 second class honors from the N. S. P.

The editer and her assistants are to be congra- tulated upon their achievements. OUR EDITOR-IN- CHIEF T is our great pleasure to introduce to the general public. Ruth Fay, the l'lditor-in- chief of the Look-A-Head for the year 1929-30. VVith distinction she has occu- pied the editorial chair of the Look-A-Head. Into her hands was entrusted the tremendous task of editing the school publication. Her literary record was reason for her selection. ln her articles which have appeared regularly, she has shown her- self a student of a creative and forceful character. Undoubtedly these qualities were essential to make this year's L-A-H the success that it was. linergy and effort have characterized her work for our school paper, and these two were her con- stant helpers in any work she undertook. She was tireless in her efforts. This great responsible position, coupled with her charming personalitv and generous disposition have won for her the re- speet. :ulmiration, and friendship of both faculty and classmates. NVith her literary style and creative composition we feel certain that her name would well grace the editorial staff of re- nowned newspapers, should she decide upon journalism as her fu- ture career. Although the Look- A-Head office will be minus a mighty strong- hold next fall, we know nevertheless, that her successor Leona I-Iipp, will do all in her power ' E' to maintain the high standard which has ac- ... erued from her earnest and unselfish efforts and interests, making the Look-A-Head an ALL- A M li RICA N pu bl ication . -Associate Editor

'itv ' ' H ' ' cr Nl. 20. . h t lla- play. as the title indicates was a comedy iulermingled with a dash of mystery and was cleverly presented by the amateur players. George NVQ-nzel very cleverly enacted the part of Donald Vlark. a wellvto-do neighbor of Helen Adams. who hoped to marry her and finally suc- ceeded. The role of Helen Adams. an ex-movie actress and heiress to a large poultry farm. assumed by lieruadette R.t'il,lIll'l'. was admirably interpreted. ltnth lfay impcrsonated Vivian C'olc. the stage- slruclc maiden of Pineville, her part was rendered exceptionally well. Norbert linglerl. as Paul Jackson. also in love with Helen. finally married Vivian Cole, took his part to perfection. The part of lizra Parker, executor of Peter llunn's estate. was very cleverly enacted by Victor lless. Mr. Parker proved to be the villain of the play by his villainous attempts to force Helen to sell her farm. She was about to submit when llonald came to the rescue. The role of lictsy. the superstitious colored maid of llelcn Adams. was exceedingly well imperson- ated by Agnes Merner. Betsy kept the audience in laughter most of the time by her unexpected gestures and remarks. ltuth Ott and lidward Amaun acted the parts of Monica Fay assumed the role of Miss .lane Kramer, lJonald's socially ambitious aunt, who had planned for llonaldis marriage to Dorothy Masters, a part enacted by Mildred Camp. SYNOPSIS OF ACTS Act 1: Farm house living-room on a spring morning. Act 2: The same, the following summer. During Act 2 the curtain remains lowered for one minute to indicate the passing of half an hour. Act 3: The same as in Acts 1 and 2, a few weeks later. Time: The present, Spring and Summer. Place: Farm house near Pineville, Virginia. .... The cast worked diligently on their parts and were responsive to suggestions. The success of the play showed this. The appreciative audience was another proof of its success. Great credit must he given to Father Brissel, who selected the play and cast and coached them under his able supervision during the first weeks. After his transfer to Lima. lilr. R. Gabele con- tinued the work. The latter is also well versed along dramatic lilies as his previous plays have evidenced. The school orchestra under the direction of ltlr. Carl Lenz entertained the audience between acts. 4 gif? N135 N' ' X ' ' ' Q ,Y ,:S. Y Y ,L :i -4,:'S: fri: , , 'i-5.1 ' :tix 'ii - Lift e 4322 ' ' Tl ' will V
