The paper was issued monthly allowing each class two months issuq. Those sponsoring the High Lights were: Miss Buell, Miss Hutt, Miss Schauseil and Miss Vallery. This arrangement proved very successful, both as a business enterprise as well as an educa.ional project. By changing the organization in this way every issue held a distinct variety which it would not have had otherwise. Much credit is due Mr. McCon-naughey and his typing class for their s p 1 e n did work in thq typing and printing- Without their patience and willingness w.th the paper, our efforts would have been useless.
