LOOK A I-lI-Iffklfl ALL'AMERICAN HONORS OOK us over! Our monthly editions of the Look-A-Head which were entered in the All- American critical service, conducted annually by the National Scholastic Press Association, with headquarters at Pillsbury Hall, Minneapolis, Minn., has been awarded All-American honors. This is the highest rating a publication can attain. The purpose of this National Scholastic Press Association service is not to create interschool riv- alry. but to provide an agency by which staffs may be aided in giving their schools and communities a significant publication, and to help the staffs in the solution of their problems. The system of rating seeks to create within the school a year-to-year effort to improve the quality of the school publications-to establish new ideals. Each school was provided with a manual and score book showing the methods used by the judges in rating the papers. Criticism was based upon news writing and editing, news values and sources, editorials, entertaining matter, headlines, makeup. This is the second time that All-American honors was granted to Look-A-Head, the first time being in 1930. Much credit is due those junior and senior journalism students who contributed regularly to the monthly editions which met with so much favor from the N. S. P. A. critical service, and also from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association from which the Look-A-Head merited second honors. Though the present senior staff regrets that they shall no longer edit any Look-A-Heads they feel that their efforts were greatly repaid by receiving such a distinction from the N. S. P. A. and they arc assured that next year's staff will maintain the high standard that was theirs. CLASS FLOWER Our class has chosen the American Beauty be- cause of its appealing richness and dazzling btauty. The Rose being symbolic of love may have been our motive for selecting it, for we are in love with the world in general. We love the sweet memories of childhood and of school days. We rapture in the present, and gladly accept the joys and opportuni- ties it renders us. But, perhaps, it is the future that beckons us to follow. As we are now on the threshold of life, we long for the veiled events that have been stored away so long. As the years pass we shall find greater work to accomplish, far greater than any other we have yet performed. Since Great Things VVere Never Done in a Hurry , it may take years to fit ourselves for the tasks we will assume. So it is with the rose which also requires time to mature from a knotty bud into the graceful and fragrant form of a superb flower. OUR EDITOR li are proud to present Lucille lietschman as the editor of our school paper during the year of 1931-32. Her ability to write clever and forceful articles has merited her this position. Possessing a distinctive person- ality she has managed the tremendous task of edit- ing the school publication in an outstanding manner. As an energetic, plucky and creative character she has inspired her associates to higher achieve- mentsl Through her untiring efforts and words of encouragement to the staff members, the l.ook-A- Head has merited the honor of being classed as an All-American publication. Much forethought, clear- thinking and sound advice on the part of our editor has enabled this paper to merit such high recogni- tion. Her loving smile, and generous disposition has won for her the respect and admiration of all the students. Her energy and talents were not confined only to the school publication but she was in the center of every school activity. Her abilities and ambitions were combined with the unusual sweetness and charm that distinguished her actions. Always cheerful and optomistic she made the hours spent working on the paper happy ones. Her future is a positive success if she maintains the high ideals and ambitions which have exemplified her work on our school paper. Although it is hard to leave school and all the joy it combines yet she can have the satisfaction that whatever she has accom- plished was due to her earnest and sincere effort. Her many sacrifices may be an incentive to succeed- ing editors of our famous school paper. CLASS COLORS Crimson and Gray, the colors we have chosen. must be kept from all selfishness and wrong, for to us their significance is magnanimous. The Crimson is typical of the sun of joy and righteousness that guides us ever onward. It is a brilliant hue that speaks of courage and 'inspires the inner soul and pulselses heart into activity, by the radiation of its vitalizing force. The Gray conveys to the mind, thoughts of life. Like a cloud it flashes across the horizon, tempering the glaring sun to fit the needs of the eye. VVe must weigh this well and not forget that it bears the memory of the cloud of years gone by, that led the followers by day, and by night as a liv- ing pillar of fire. . We, as a class, hope to be guided through life by our cloud of 'Gray when life is garnished with suc- cesses, and by the pillar of Crimson in the hour of darkness and affliction. 14- CJ Us ll CH -J 5 1
