At that time its staff was comprised of twenty mqmbers, and it was a one page edition. However, it has, since then, graduated into a four page paper, with a staff of sixteen members. What the newspaper is to the general community, the Weekly Anvil is to the community of Washington High School. Both publications are alike in the respect that they are informative, that is, they print stories and news items that are of interest to the student, they influence the mind, and they are educational. A, distinct ad- vantage possessed by the school publication in educational value is the fact that it is the product of its readers: they make and contribute all of the news that goes into each and every edition. Without their aid and support, this publication could not exist. The staff of the Weekly Anvil is comprised, chiefly, of former members of the journalism class, who trained themselves for membership to this organ- ization by contributing news of school activities to their own publication as well as to the local city presses, The Washington High School publication, which has Miss Lucy Swindell and Messers. Kellam and Altenderfer, as its faculty advisers, is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association. This school paper, as well as a majority of others, is set up basically identical to any professional sheet, that is, it has its literary personnel made up of an editor-in-chief, assistant editor, feature editor, literary editor, news editor, a columnist, and several featured columns-boys' sports, girls' sports, exchange editors, and an editorial writer, The business aspect is handled through the medium of a business manager, and the actual printing is under the auspices of two mechanical editors. ln summing it all up, one finds that the purpose of this organization is to help prepare the student for a journalistic career and to aid him and the rest of the student body in becoming more aware of their school life.

At that time the staff consisted of four members and has, since then, grown to its present day membership of thirty students. Recommendation by the adviser and teachers is the chief requirement of the stu- dent seeking admission into thls group. These pupils serve in a dual capacity: that of serving the school and their fellow stu- dents and that of receiving, by mea s of this elementary course, s n using library re- sourc and a knowledge of li- brary work as a profession. W. ::f 'f' 1412, RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross, an ac- tive organization, is affiliated with the American Red Cross. Some of the local activities spon- sored by the Red Cross are the distribution of Thanksgiving baskets to the needy, the giving of toys at Christmas to children, and the making of contributions to the Carmelite Orphanage. The Red Cross enterprise is of state, national, and inter-national ser- vice. Afternoon dances and candy sales are two of its means of raising funds. Correspond- ence with foreign countries is carried on through scrap-books and portfolios. The Red Cross creates good will and prepared- ness to serve humanity in the event of unforeseenidisaster.

MONITOR CAPTAINS The monitor system, establish- ed in 1922, successfully performs all its duties of directing the hall conduct of the student body, maintaining order, and develop- ing school pride. The interests of this organization have always been for the welfare of our school. Because of the responsib- ility involved, the monitors, se- lected from the eleventh and twelfth grades, must be recom- mended. The completion of our new building necessitated an in- crease in the number of moni- tors, giving this organization its largest personnel in the history of our school. The monitors are under the leadership of captains and assistant captains, who, un- der the supervision of Mr. Paul, faculty sponsor, are responsible for the efficiency of this system. BOY PATROL The boy patrol was organized in purpose: to protect the students and enfor for one ma ce safety laws in and around the school. Any high school boy who is at foot four inches tall and has a satisfactory scholastic record is eligible to join the least five to better their school will find that the safety patrol affords an excellent means. As incentives, monograms are awarded to those boys who have been on the force for more than one year. The boy patrol forms a group that may be called the policemen of the school . The responsibility of protecting the students in the close vicinity of the school is in their hands.
