Junior Star Editor.
Once again The Junior Star is
sues it's annual call for school COR
respondents.
Last June's graduations created
the usual number of vacancies, espe-
cially among the high-school COR
respondents, and these will have to
be filled now as the fall term be-
gins. For boys and girls who like
to write or whose ambitions run
along journalistic lines these jobs
represent an excellent opportunity
to engage in an interesting spare
time activity and at the same time
obtain practical experience.
AS in the past, some of the va
cancies will be filled by arrange
ment with teachers OF journalism
in the various high schools Of Wash
lngton and nearby Maryland and
Virginia. This will still leave OPEN
ings, however, for boys and girls
who, for one reason or another, are
not enrolled in journalism classes.
Under the rules OF the contributors
contest, any boy or girl Of high
school age or under Is eligible to
write for The Junior Star.
II you would like to act as one
OF your schools correspondents for
The Junior Star you should either
confer with your journalism teach
er or else communicate directly with
me. This may be done by letter,
telephone or personal visit to The
Junior Star office. I am always glad
to chat with any boys and girls in
terested enough to drop in.

The Junior Star still has corre-
spondents at many of the schools.
but there is always room for more.
I am especially anxious to hear from
students of Central, Western. Wood
row Wilson. Bethesda Chevy Chase
and Montgomery Blair High Schools.
Central has never been too we'll rep
resented since the graduation of
Ruth Buchanan and Douglass Dali
ley; Charles Stebbins continues to
carry on there, but one correspond
ent, no matter how capable, is not
enough for such large school. Ted
Towers and Dick Rogers are missed
at Western, and nobody yet has
stepped into Joe Bill Stephens
place at Wilson. AS for Bethesda
Chevy Chase and Montgomery Blair,
Harriet Wallis and Peggy Weiss have
been difficult to replace satisfactor-
lily.
l know Betty Nesbitt is going
to do an excellent job at George
High School, and Nan
Austin at Anacostia, Shirley Turner
and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick at Roose-
welt, and Jeanne Barinott at Nc
kinley already have shown what fine
work they can do But this need
not deter other pupils Of the same
schools from joining the ranks of
j. S. correspondents AS rule. the
stlffer the competition, the better
the. results.
