Write Makes Might The Columbia Scholastic Press Association Awards Board has recognized the merits of student literary efforts as expressed and pub¬ lished in the SHS Readers ' Reflection, and yearly increasing circulation indicates student enthusi¬ asm and interest. Homeroom reporters augment the writing staff in gathering and presenting the news and stories. Seized upon by an ever-rushed publications group (clerical), the Reflection is caught up from the clattering mimeo and exchanged quickly by Circulation into coin. The Advisor—Editor team re¬ views its handiwork: Miss Big- gerstaff and Pat Noble re¬ examine and criticize. SUCCESS! More compliments than criticism . . . even circulation is up. . . and this is how we do it. A Noble effort on Parents ' Night to explain its purpose and the staff functions. 374 . . . 375 . . . and so to press. (Newport, Sails, Ridel).
