a hr rttiur ISrflrrtor THE PRESS CLUB OFFICERS President - Fred Binckes Secretary - Lena Hardin Vice Pres. - Marion Petersen Treas. - Austin Boyle Faculty Advisor - Miss McFadden At the beginning of the second semester a Press Club was organized to further the interests on “The Tattler” our school paper. The requirement for membership is the completion of one semester of creditable work on ‘‘The Tattler” or one year of membership in the Scribblers Club, a Junior High honorary organization. All Press Club members must maintain an average of C or above in all major subjects and an average of B or above in deportment. To retain his membership, each person must write one column of material for the paper or perform duties requiring an equivalent amount of work each semester, thus establishing the relationship between the “Press Club” and “The Tattler.” The members of the Club have been working hard for the equipment of our “Tattler Corner”. Money was raised toward the purchase of a typewriter for the exclusive use of “The Tattler.” Although no definite course in Journalism is offered in the High School, the Press Club members have been receiving some information through talks on Journalism given by Miss Walker. As the result of a Journalism Conference held at Michigan City this year. Whiting was elected secretary and is responsible for a conference to be held at Whiting, next year.

Accompanied by Geraldine Muffitt at the piano, Professor Ingraham sang several songs, and also told some jokes which we shall not print here. Dancing and novel games afforded the entertainment for the evening. The party was enjoyed by all present. PRESS CLUB PICNIC On Monday, May 24, the Press Club held a beach supper at the park. The supper was enjoyed from the time of the roasting of the weiners till the last marshmallow was toasted. Fred Binckes, the president of the Press Club, helped to build a splendid fire which kept everyone warm. More picnics are being planned for the future. GIRLS CLUB The Girls’ Club, of which every girl in school is a member, was organized two years ago for the purpose of promoting a spirit of friendliness and good will among the girls of the high school. With this object in view, informal dancing parties have been held from time to time during the year on Friday afternoons after school and these have been most sucessful affairs much enjoyed by the girls. The Girls’ Club this year is under the supervision of Miss Canine, Girls’ Advisor. The officers are as follows: President Lena Hardin Vice President Pearl Budge Secretary - treasury Marguerite Lee Two students were elected to represent their class.
