HISTORY OF THE CALHOUN CLARION

The "Calhoun Clarion" has been published by the Journalism class since 1931. For the first seven years it was a non-paying proposition except for the money that was made on advertisments. It was a mimeographed paper sponsored by Miss Alma Ayers and published once a month.

In 1937-38 it was decided that the students should pay fifteen cents a semester for the paper, and it would be published once every two weeks. This was a great improvement, in that the news was brought to them more often and therefore more interesting to the students.

The following year--1938-39 the Journalism class was taken over by Miss May Seal. Instead of a full hour period, as in former years, only a half hour period each day was to be used for the class. But, due to reasons beyond the control of the Clarion staff, this half hour period was cut out and the class could not meet during school hours. It was finally decided that the students taking Journalism and the sponsor should stay after school two nights each week to work, and in that way get the paper published.

This year the paper is published and issued to about one hundred and seventy-five students. The staff for this years is as follows:
 
 

Editor-in-chief Edna Mae Wolfe
News Editor Lillian Ayers
Feature Editor Jean Arnette
Society Editor Dorothy Elliott
Business Manager Mildred Bush
Art Editor Julia Hardman
Sports Editor Mary Jane Hefner
 

For the last three years three delegates have been sent to U. H. S. P. convention at Huntington. This year at least three will be sent, and perhaps more.

The paper as it is published contains [sic?] for 6 to 14 mimeographed pages. It contains news, features, cartoons and advertisements.
