All members of the staff are seniors who are get- ting their first taste of newspaper work under the capable guidance of their sponsor, Mrs. llarris. To obtain the Hi-Lite one may buy a sub- scription at the beginning of the year or pur- chase it each month as it comes from the press. just as in newspapers operated on a larger scale, sales alone do not provide the neces- sary capital for running the paper, therefore, additional resources are obtained by selling advertising space to local businessmen. One of the principal handicaps under which the staff labors is the lack of their own printing press. They must depend on the local printing office to get their paper out on time. The composition of the Hi-Lite is as fol- lows: page one features write-ups of forth- coming eventsg page two contains editorials, special events, and follow-ups of previous eventsg page three has complete coverage of all athletic events in which the athletes of Union have competed, page four consists of anecdotes. features and miscellaneous news. Besides the regular editions, two special issues - Valentine and Commencement- are dittoed and run off by the staff themselves. Each month Mrs. Harris assigns different page editors, thereby relegating the respon- sibility of seeing that all material is in on time to the four chosen students. By rotating the staff she also gives each student an oppor- tunity to experience all phases of newspaper work. 14

f NVith the addition of a new guidance pro- gram at Union High School a new club was organized, lts members were the junior and senior girls who were interested in nursing as a career. Nliss George, the guidance counselor, is the advisor. and she meets with the girls once a month. At the meetings they discuss such topics as which hospital they will train in or which plan of obtaining their R.N.', is most feasible. Nliss George suggested that the girls choose a few hospitals they would like to visit. The club's first trip was to the VVashing- ton Hospital. Student nurses, acting as guides, took the girls through the hospital. The girls also toured the student nurses' dormitories. A few of the girls were so well impressed with the hospital and its maintenance that they made applications for admission to the hospital for next fall. Later in the year the club visited the Pres- byterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, a larger hos- pital than the NVashington Hospital. Some members of the club made inquiries about the hospitalis college program. With Miss Ceorgeis help the girls had a very nice year and leamed much to help them in their future nursing careers.
