Publication Reps Peddle CPitch' The jobs of selling the Pitch and the Windup in sleepy homerooms and checking on missing senior bi- ographies and pictures were consigned to the home- room Publications Representative, a new creation born of the necessity of circulation. For those who fancied themselves literate, the new- ly formed Literary Discussion Club, sponsored by Mr. Hibbett, offered an intellectual haven on Friday mornings this year. The discussions ranged from Steinbeck and Camus to Ayn Rand and the contemp- orary novel. The members debated dramatically, and many also participated in the Debate Club, sponsored by Mrs. Hall and Miss Lawrence, and the Dramatics Club, sponsored by Miss Kelly. . The debaters had a successful season, debating the topic, Federal Aid to Education.

Pitch Illuminates School News The thirty-one students in Mrs. Wittman's fifth period journalism class, through outside reading, study of their text, experience, and lectures, gained knowledge of the history of journalism and seman- ticsg they also learned the special six W's of writing: 'twho, what, when, Where, why, and Wittman approval. They listened to Judge Joseph Mathias of the Maryland Tax Court and former editor of the Uni- versity of Maryland Diamondback, who spoke on one of the dangers of newspaperwork, libel. The information absorbed by the journalists, budding newspapermen all, was put to workg for the Pitch editor enlisted the help of the students, who acted as reporters writing copy for the eleven issues of the Pitch. The harassed editors used this copy to turn out a newspaper that won awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. The Pitch editors work in the publications office sixth period, organizing the mass of material, writ- ing editorials, and establishing policy. The aspiring journalism students carry out their assignments, secure in the knowledge that the best of the juniors will be on the editorial staff for the 1962-1963 school year. 110 Departments Business manager Cathy Vitto is amused by the number of Pitch. subscriptions, which along with advertising, support the paper.
