 Society Editors When youth took over for day, the society editors became Joan Beck of Crosby, Barbara Brown of Sacred Heart, Patricia Elwin of Crosby, Theresa Pinto of Wilby and Jeannine LaLiberte of Waterbury Catholic High.
 Jeannine was stunned when asked if she would like career in society journalism. Her reply was, No. l have other plans when I graduate; but they are military secrets" She did remark, however, that she would like to be a sports editor. Do you blame her?
 Crosby's Joan Beck emphatically said "No," also. Why? It would be- come quite monotonous doing the same type of story day after day, particularly weddings that have to be written in so many different ways.
 "Insted of having to go out and gather the news, you have the whole city as your cub reporters. Why use energy when you don't have to-
 Crosby's news editor, Patricia El- win, must have couple assistants after that remark
 To Help Own Papers
 Terry" of Wilby said: T loved contributing my little bit, and hope it helps the Balance Sheet" get out of it's rut.'
 Barbara Brown of Sacred Heart High answered positively My, but it's interesting and I would like do- ing it. You know what the whole city is doing, without having to hurt for the news.
 Every individual readily agreed that they would exercise all that was learned on their forthcoming edi- tions of their respective papers Here's luck to you girls.
 Both Alan Edwards of Sacred Heart High and Boardman Kathan of Crosby High enjoyed the experi- ence of helping John Cluney with his sports column, Sporting World
 The boys learned great deal which they will apply to their own school columns. Boardman and Alan were surprised at the speed with which the columns were com pleted High school sports news usuSlly takes a week to polish off and is summary of all sports events while the Democrats columns con- sist of actual facts and are written and in print within the hour. l MT. Cluney told Boardman and Alan to take an impersonal view when writing sports and not tc waste words, especially pronouns, ir getting a fact across. Both boys stated that this experience strength ened their desires to join newspaper staffs in college.
 Two of our student editors Lenora Spearo, from Crosby anc Ellenore Jordan, Sacred Heart High took over the varied duties of man. aging editor, an experience valu- able to the appreciation of just what managing editor is accountable for.
