This group has been trained in the principles and technique of news writing in the previous semester in jour- nalism I. Each fall the new staff ' s first duties are to seek advertisements, put on a subscription campaign, and have a first issue ready for distribution by the end of the third week. In making the budget the staff counts on about $450.00 from advertisements and $225.00 from subscriptions. The paper sells for fifty cents a school year or thirty-five cents a term. The staff tries to cover all of the school activities so that the paper will give a complete picture of school life in V. H. S. There are sixteen issues dur- ing the year, and if time and money permit an extra senior paper is put on the last day of school. Second Semester Staff Top. left to right: Virginia Paul.

It is in this group that the girls learn the song and code, and what it means to be a Girl Reserve. Those girls who have earned at least fifteen points, by showing that they are worthy to become members of the organization, are admitted to the club at the formal induction ceremony, held in February. This year the freshman-sophomore group was very active in helping to prepare Thanksgiving baskets and in selling Christmas seals. The programs presented at the meetings, under the leadership of Jacqueline Allett, were planned with the idea that the girls should benefit from them. Various readings were given and articles were read which carried out this theme. One of the high- lights of these meetings was Freshman-Sophomore Reserve Officers Miss Welty, sponsor; Beverly Ed- wards, treasurer; Virginia LaCount, program chairman; Victoria Lind- berg, sergeant-at-arms; Mary Horn, president; Joanne Ragsdale, secre- tary; Dorothy Day, scribe; Shirley Hepner, vice-president. a talk by Mrs. W. I. Wilson who explained the relation- ship of the figures carved in Mt. Rushmore to all Amer- icans. 29
