Q A .S - ?' -X. l I ' do L JOURNALISM CLASS The Journalism Class originated in 1933-34, when for the first time a course of this kind was ofered at Union High. Editing of the school paper, Static, was the first project. Hazel Parsons was the first Editor- in-chief, and the class turned in a successful card for its first year. Enter- ing upon its second year, '34-'35 a total of five veterans of the first year's work returned, namely: Hazel Parsons, Phyllis Beck, Eugene Ciscell, Ray Ballard, and Forest Stuthard, and eight new ones were added. This year Forest Stuthard was elected Editor-in-chief, and the class continued to publish the Static, showing a marked improvement in their work, O. D. D. CLUB The Debating Club was organized in 1934 for the purpose of learning to speak effectively in public and learning the fundamentals of oratory, drama, and debating. Intra-school debates, plays and oratory contests are a part of the plans for this year. There are eighteen members in this organization. The officers of the club are: President, Marilyn Spinksg Vice-President, Emogene Smallg Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth E. Teasley and Sponsor, Miss Mars. REMINISCENCES OF THE OLD GYM PIANO I was really surprised when asked to Write about the music of the U. H. S. It does seem unusual to ask a mere piano to give the needed facts, but after all, who would know more about it tha.n I? Miss Mitchell directed our operetta, The Sunbonnet Girl and a grand success it was! During practices, Miss Mars pounded my keys until we were both ex- hausted. Miss Steiner taught the dances, and we could hardly keep from laughing at the student's antics. The music was grand-I even had an orchestra to play with me. I'd better not get started on the grand times we had at practice for I fear you would grow tired of hearing it. The Girl's Glee Club gave a Christmas Cantata, The Child Jesus. The girls are really Wonderful singers and as they marched in all dressed in White and carrying lighted candles, it was very beautiful and impressive. The time is now approaching when my usual summer rest will begin, l'll get very lonesome, but Iill 'forget that when school starts again. Nevertheless, I will miss those students who are graduating. Good-bye, Seniors, and God Bless You. Twe nty nme
