Meents efafzioneffe Hey, Burt, where's that write-up of the game? queries Arlene. Jo, that joke is too corny for 'Out of This World,' screams jay. Wl1o threw away that galley? worries LaVerne, searching the Wastebasket. Try to see Mr. Honn, Eileen, orders Miss Williains. Agnes industriously types a story, while Marilyn is out waiting for news to break. Donna, Mary Ellen, Dorothy, and Chuck are discussing news. This will give an idea of the activity in the journalism room just before each issue of the paper was published. Besides these members, Corinne Carson, Margaret Liddle, and Barbara Kinder were on the staff the first semester, and Gene Kauth, Dean Scott, and Elaine Carlock, the second. The staff, .besides putting out the Clfarimlefle every three weeks, gained from class- work additional information pertaining to journalism. The fact that the newsroom was a general clearing house for all gossip and news gave the staff a feeling of superiority over the average student who couldn't find out what the news was until the paper came out.

Slucfenl eouncil The first event of the year sponsored by the Student Council was the homecoming game and dance. Many alumni and service men came back to make the homecoming a great success. In October an all school party was given. Besides the dancing, an unusual program and unique decorations made the party one to :be remembered. At the close of school, for Christmas vacation, a Christmas dance was planned. It served two purposes: a farewell party for Dr. Waggener and a get-together dance to help celebrate Christmas. Many service men were present on this occasion too. Each year a district student council convention is held. This year the meeting was at Champaign. Representatives from our council were Mary Lou Stover, Carol Karr, and Sally Stretch. The three other most important activities of our governing body for the year 'li-i-'45 were reorganizing of the study hall monitorial system, purchasing recreational facilities for dances and parties, and bringing the service flag up-to-date. With Mary Lou Stover, presidentg Sally Stretch, vice-presidentg Marilyn Mette, secretary, and joan Kinneman, treasurer, everything went oft like clock work. Hearty congratulations should be given to the Student Council and to Dr. Lueck, the sponsor, for such fine work.
