PRO mrnm mmm T Tr SIS RES5 The members of the staff of Earle’s Eyes and Jim Bob Clark, feature writer, comprise the membership of the Press Club. In moments of retrospection the staff is somewhat proud of its work for the 1940-41 session. The editors have been prompt and regular in their duties, and the reporters for the various classes and organizations have been faithful in letting their news be known. V'e are happy to report that several Sterling High exes, away in college and training camps, have told us that they enjoyed the feature articles, the chatty columns, the sports writeups, and the news in general. Such encouragement is inspiring, and so we are anticipating a better paper than over next year.
