Organizations HIGH LIGHTS As an English project the WA-VERLY HIGH LIGHTS was undertaken this year by the Freshman. Sophomore , Junior and Senior Classes, under the advisement of the English teachers. 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. The, Waverly High Lights has seen another prosperous year. May it live to grow older and better. —VIRGINIA JONES- LIBRARY During the school term the library has been improved greatly.
