 djool J)ftus THE MIRROR Our school paper. The Mirror, which has been published every other week this year, has krpt an efficient staff busy writing editorials, poetry, news, and stories, as well as drawing pictures. We introduced many innovations. The paper, published every second Monday, instead of every Monday, has consisted of two and three pages instead of one, as formerly. We decided to elect staff officers in the middle of the year, giving the Senior members (who were Mae Swanson and Helen Travers this year) honorable membership for the rest of the year, and allowing them time to work on the Wide Awake and to prepare for graduation. Mae Swanson was thus succeeded by Robert Abbott as Editor, giving him the job of keeping up the high standard fixed by her, which had equaled that oi Doris Eyre’s administration. After presiding at a few staff meetings (another new feature this year) Mrs. Coombs resigned as Editor-at-Large giving the new Editor, Robert Abbott, full responsibility, which consisted of; presiding over Staff meetings, collecting and proofreading material and seeing that the paper was printed and ready for distribution, after the stencils had been cut. Quite early in the year came the introduction of the Mincemeat Papers, intended to treat, in a humorous way, of various school weaknesses and to suggest reforms. Abie Seedy and his equally odd group of correspondents did the writing. This feature was succeeded by a serial story, written by Margery Butler. The Mirror published on February 15th was the Alumni issue, to which about half a dozen Alumni contributed. Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Coombs conspired to give the Mirror Staff another task this year, namely, that of providing a School News column each week for the Woodbury Reporter. Helen Belz has taken charge of this activity. Stanley Lusas has performed the Monday morning task of Chief printer and added humor to the paper. Raynall Coley has faithfully drawn pictures for the back page. We must not forget the indispensible work of Mrs. Coombs who has good-naturedly cut the stencils. Finally we are proud that the Mirror has been entirely self-supporting, the stencils, paper and clips being purchased from the proceeds of the sales. The present staff, to remain in office until February, 1933 is as follows: Editor-in-Chief—C. Robert Abbott ’33 Assistant Editor—Helen Belz '33 Raynall Coley ’33, Stanley Lusas '33, Ruth Burton ’34, Margery Butler ’34, Ernest Hicock ’35, Virginia Scoville ’35, Bertha Bitzer ’35, Concetta Rossi ’35. This staff will jump into action immediately next year and we (the members of the staff) hope to make the Mirror bigger and better. BASEBALL The prospects for a successful baseball season are excellent. With two competent pitchers in Robert Fray and George Salokas, all we need is a few hits to bring in victories. The team has met only two defeats and so far, has three victories to its credit. TRACK A few boys have attempted to do something in track with more or less success. Philip Scoville won the standing broad jump and the 20 yard dash at the State Inter-Country Track Meet sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. He won the Senior 100 yard dash and running broad jump, and took second in the 200 yard dash at the outdoor meet this spring. Stanley Lusas took third in the half mile. Scoville’s time for the 100 yard dash was 1 1 seconds, for the standing broad jump the distance was 9’ 2”, somewhat less than the school record of 9.6 feet which he set last fall. Assembly Programs The Senior and Junior English Clubs collaborated every three weeks, during the first half year, to give an assembly program. We have had three so far: Feb. 19, Washington program. March 18, a one-act play. April 22, A musical program consisting of songs and instrumental selections, all furnished by students. The Seniors had asked Prof. Hanley of the Yale Department of English to speak on his research in regard to the English language. It was decided at the last moment that the whole school would benefit by his lecture and we had a very interesting and valuable assembly on March 24th. Page Twemy-Five
