During the Christmas season, committee members filled Wasson's halls with festive holiday decorations. They handled all student government correspondence throughout the year.

Publicity Strives to Keep ,smut DECK THE HALLS with clever posters seemed to be Publicity's goal as Jack Miller hangs his effort in the cafeteria. JERRY FOGG COMBINES artistry and originality to create his Th u n I n poster publicizing the Wasson-Palmer game. Vivian Reubens, Secretary of Publicity, initiated a new method with her committee this year in which poster making was put on a competitive basis. This resulted in a large variety of ideas which evolved into some inter- esting and different posters and it also enabled those students with art ability to participate in the student organization. Another idea put into active use was the sole use of the club bulletin in the main hall, rather than pub- licizing the clubs' events and activities during the daily announcements. A very large committee kept the students informed of all aspects of school life through posters giving re- minders of all basketball, football, swimming, wrestling, track, golf, and tennis activities, as well as the sophomore, junior, and senior plays, all the dances, and many assem- blies throughout the year.
