All school activities have been reported accurately and interestingly. lts editorial columns have reflected the sentiment of the Student body on questions pertaining to school or civil life. lnterf views with the leading figures in the world of art and government have been arranged and the opinions of these prominent personages reported in the columns of 'iRemarques.

Frank Harper. writer of just Now in the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph declared: I have seen many school and college papers. but none more cleverly written or more skillfully edited than this one by students of the Pittsburgh Academy. This commendation from a man of Mr, Harperis prominence in the world of journalism is an indication of the position which i'Remarqcs has gained in the Pennsylvania journalistic held. Credit for this enviable success cannot be given to any one student. Fully fifty students have contributed to the paper throughout the year. and this fact explains the popularity of Remarques. The Wide variety of viewpoints and of interests represented have been reflected in the columns of the paper. Two editorsfinfchief have directed the destinies of Remarques during its first year. Miss Elizabeth B. Drake and Miss F, Jacqueline jackson. Miss Drake served from September until April and left to become Assistant Editor of the Film Forecast. published by the Rowland and Clark Theatre Company. To every part of the paper Miss Drake contributed. She wrote news articles, editorials. literary features, drew cartoons and even wrote a poem. l'The Dreamer. Her one poetic offering caused many to wonder why Miss Drake had not made more conf tributions of this nature, Miss jackson. who succeeded Miss Drake as editorfinfchief. is as versatile and as capable as her predecessor. Her chief claim to fame is as a poet and her poems alone would till a four page Remarques, She is also the creator of Gertie Green, our mythical classmate from Hickville. whose blunders in the big city and whose efforts to eddicate herself have provided no end of merriment for readers of Remarques. In addition she has written news articles, editorials, and has contributed many drawings of exceptional merit. To enumerate the merits of the members of the statf is evidently impossible on account of lack of space. However, Ernest Horst. Evening School Editor: Harold Weinberger. Feature Writerg .Margaret Renkin, News Editorg Ruth Stuckrath. Feature Editor: Marie Klooz and Dorothea Drooks. Managing Editors. are deserving of particular mention. The Staff desires to express its debt to the faculty advisors for their timely suggestions, competent criticism. and kindly guidance. They gave of their time unsparingly and gladly assisted at all times. The Stall is par- ticularly indebted to Miss Hilma Sutter, Mr. joseph J. McCarthy and Mr. james F. Grady.
