VusSAOA SSSs SNssSAs
Last year, we offered students Of
journalism In the various high
schools an opportunity to obtain
practical experience as newspaper
writer's by acting ss correspondents
Of The Junior Star. The results were
so satisfactory that we have invited
the teachers Of Journalism and Eng
ush in the District and nearby
Maryland and Virginia to cooperate
with us in compiling new list of
correspondents for the school year
just begun.
Many Of our old correspondents
are still with us-Jane Phelps at
Mckinley; Mildred Sears, Anne
Swearingen and Mary Webster at
Roosevelt; Ruth Buchanan and
Stanley Levy at Central. Also,
several new correspondents have
been appointed-Janet Moran, re-
placing Harriet Wallis at Bethesda
Chevy Chase; Elinor James, sue
ceeding Violet Sweeney at Mont
gomery Blair; Florence Hunter,
taking up where Mildred WEIGH left
of at Mount Rainier. -
Some of our correspondents, both
old and new, were selected by their
teachers; others applied directly to
us, accompanying their applications
with convincing samples of their
work. Either way is all right with
us-just so The Junior Star Is salts
factorily represented In all the high
schools.
The above list of correspondents
was jotted down very much at ran
dom and looking back over it now,
We find that we omitted the name
Of Sigma Sebottroff, our new corre- =.
spondent at Richard Montgomery
High School, Rockville, Md. sigma,
who is II, stated in her application:
Il have spent the best part of my
life out of doors and as a result grew
up strong and healthy. At school, 1
take part in all sports. Softball
is my favorite sport"
Which is not only interesting, but
seems to call for more of the same
kind of data on some of our other
correspondents

whole summer in Cambridge. Md,

Phelps. Now Anne is set to spend
the winter with Jane-and look for

dore Roosevelt, near Annapolis, Md.
. Anne Swearingens vacation
spot was in West Virginia-in what
she described in a letter as "a town
so small that it would be fattery to
call it 'one-horse'" She added, IT
