These columns, entitled Johnson Jotsf, inform interested readers about dances, athletic contests, and similar school-support- ed functions. Four student radio commentators participate for Walter Johnson on a weekly radio program, Teen Talk, on radio station WINX. During their allot- ted five minutes each Saturday morning, a pair of reporters, one boy and one girl, summarize the week's events and announce coming activities. These students are chosen by the Journalism Department. In the school itself, four Public Address an- nouncers tackle the job of keeping students inform- ed through the morning announcements. Local Columnists: C. Swartz, L. Potter. Carol and Luth wrote the weekly Johnson Jots for the Bethesda Tribune and Montgomery County Sentinel to keep the neighboring community posted on the accomplishments and activities, such as School Spirit Week and National Merit Semifinal- ists, around Walter Johnson.

Kron- Each Tuesday morning faithful sophomores and juniors congregate in the faculty dining room to attend the meetings of the Yearbook Club. Mrs. Wittman, Windup sponsor, lectures to the club on methods and procedures in the production of the yearbook. In its second year, the yearbook club guarantees the continued flow of personnel to staff positions. Sponsored by Mrs. Phifer, the Creative Writing Club meets Friday afternoons at 3:35 to provide an opportunity for its members to receive helpful hints and constructive criticism on their literary efforts. An added feature of the club this year was a series of five poetry lectures by WJ's resident Poet Lau- reate, Susan Dieterich. Personifying studiousness, Yearbook Club members take an exam to determine their preparedness for next year's staff. stadt, N. Stanmeyer, C. Johnson, E. Diamond, G. Allis, L. McCracken, S. Day, D.
