ff. J H Jn, n mi u l Orderly confusion prevails in High Life headquarters. Dramatics class demonstrates make-up. ' ' l l I wa I I I Amid typewriters clacking to meet urgent deadlines, Miss Iewell charts her reporters over the perilous seas of covering beats, copyreading, writing headlines, and editing. They experience the practical difficulties of an actual newspaper through the High Life, High Lights, and Daily Bulletin.

Figure enthusiasts keep instructors busy with probing questions. Shop students determine the quantity of material needed for a piece of Work and learn to make cost estimates. On a percentage basis, we discover how to stretch our weekly allowance to include cokes and a movie for the two of us. At the end of the senior year, we can tell you how many people were at a party if 66 hand- shakes were exchanged, or how many dif- ferent committees could be made from 21 Democrats and 14 Republicans if one wanted 3 Democrats and y Republicans on each committee. -if Page Sixteen His
