ORIOLE SIRff In October 1951 the first issue of the Oriole appeared. Five more publications were issued during the year, and thirteen incoming freshmen and twenty-one upperclassmen won posts on the staff. In 1949 a new system of choosing the Oriole editor was inaugurated and once again this plan was used. Under this system an associate editor is chosen in the spring who works with the editor for one year. With this experience the associate editor is able to assume the editorship the following year. The club’s social activities included a hay ride in January and a tour of business places in La C rosse. To bring its activities to a close, the Oriole members had a picnic in the spring. Since its initial appearance in 1947 the Oriole has become the by-word of every student in high school. Through the persistence and cooperation of the staff, the editors, and the advisors, it has become a paper of which we can all be proud. Editor-in-chief . . .

UBfiflfiy CLUB In the fall of 1950 fifteen students organized to form the Library Club. This included six girls who were awarded posts last spring after serving a probationery work period of one year. This year twelve girls have tried for positions, and of this group approximately six will be accepted. Competition is keen and prospective members mustprove themselves able to maintain scholastic and club standards before they are admitted. A point system was inaugurated whereby girls earned a specified number of points to earn their awards. In January a pinning ceremony for the graduating seniors made its initial appearance. This gave them the opportunity to wear their higher awards the semester before graduation. By a popular vote maroon and white were chosen to represent the club s colors, and the carnation was selected as its flower. Social activities for the year included a picnic in the fall and spring, a record party in October, and a pot-luck supper in January. The librarians also journeyed to La Crosse to see several TC plays. Head Librarian ....

Since that time, membership has increased from fourteen to thirty-nine members. Organized in an effort to promote greater poise in public speaking, this club has set up a program by which members can participate in plays or compete for speaking honors with other schools in the Coulee Conference. A point system was drawn up this year so that awards might be earned for such work. Throughout the year, short plays and declamations were presented at club meetings, and in March many of the members competed in one of the various speaking divisions. A hay-ride party and a dance constituted the social activities of the Forensic Club. President...................Ronald Schild Vice-President ....
