Hi Times is Outlet for News Writing Ability The Hi-Time3 staff this year was chosen from the students who took journalism, a new course in the high school curriculum. Work on the school paper was made a great deal more attractive, since half a credit towards “Send It to Deckard’s!’’ A few cents will work wonders for you in the way of improving the appearance of your wardrobe. Your suits, coats, skirts and dresses can be made to look like new—and the cost is very reasonable. Just— “Send It to Deckard’s!” 5 fO I. Z. DECKARD Dry Cleaning, Pressing. Tailoring and Repairing WELLSTON, OHIO graduation was given for journalism, and half a credit for actual membership on the Hi-Times staff. A new plan cf publication was carried out by way of an experiment. Now, the paper is essentially one for the students. Half the writings of former papers were done by the faculty. The students themselves had only a small amount of work to do on the sheet and became rather lax and did not realize that a newspaper is no smaU job. They were only innocent onlookers. During the past term, however, a weekly page has been published in the Sentinel by the students. They wrote and edited their own articles, collected ads, and practiced head writing and proof-reading.

Although the staff was handicapped by lack of space, a very readable paper was issued. In addition to the weekly pa jo, a monthly sheet was published. A Valentine Edition, a Scandal Sheet and a Farewell Issue were the outlets of pcetry, stories, and choice scandal. The pupils have a chance to write with more freedom in this paper, since they are not so pressed for space. An analysis of the Hi-Times by a journalism clinic at Ohio University.

Inter Hoc anno Inter Nos Societas tardius constituta est, sed aliquos bonos socios, octa puellas et unum puerum, compara- vimus. Totus numerus sociorum est septemdecem. Haec societas facta est ut lingua Latina cum voluptate superata esset. Commercial Club The ideal of the Commercial Club is to promote efficency in all business work and to aid students in securing positions in future years. The motto is, “Business before pleasure.” The commercial branch is the most popular department in the school. There are certain tests that students must pass before they receive their credits. The students taking their first year of typing must be able to type twenty-five words a minute, while those taking their second year are required to type forty words a minute. Although the amount of work done by this organization is small, as yet, it is steadily becoming an important club in W. H. S. One drawback this year has been the lack of regular officers. The membership is larger than ever before, since all students taking commercial courses are eligible for membership in the club.

Fontella Bell ; Faculty Advisors Bernard Higley I showed that it was far from perfect, but it was impossible to remedy many of the faults, and considering their handicaps, the members of the staff are not discouraged with their paper. At least one noticeable improvement has been introduced in the fact that certain pupils have been assigned definite positions on the staff. For instance, there is a regular feature writer, proof-reader, sport reporter, and head writer, who has a fixed assignment for every issue. Features, by the way, are almost a new thing in our school paper. The Hi-Times staff assisted in the publication of the X-Ray by furnishing the literary parts. The students pride themselves on the fact that the paper has been a paying proposition, and believe that generally they have a pretty good nose for news. This year is the first time that the X-Ray has been published in magazine form. Heretofore, an expensive annual was edited. The book that is issued this year was made in magazine form, in order chiefly to reduce expense. The same amount of material is contained in it, and the entire book was put out at much less cost. The X-Ray staff was unfortunate in getting a rather late start, but once it did get moving, pushed things along at a great rate. The staff-members have tried to combine their efforts into the production of a book that is useful, different, and a good memorandum of high school life. Both the Hi-Times and X-Ray Staff have worked hard during the past year. They have tried to please everyone to the best of their ability, and hope that they have succeeded in producing a paper and a yjar-bcok that is worthy of Wellston High School.
