Our Laura (Shatto) has certainly
had an exciting week and let me
tell you how!
For three days of this week, she
has been in Washington, with her
time filled by tour of the Capitol,
a visit to Congress, where she was
introduced to the Congressman and
had her name entered in The Con-
gressional Record, parties which
were attended by Margaret Truman,
and nationwide broadcast
Her greatest thrill though was be-
ing introduced to the President of
the United States.
The most important event of the
trip was huge banquet, held last
night at the Statler Hotel, where the
four winners and their chaperons
were registered. AT the banquet,
Laura was formally presented her
reward-a five hundred-dollar
scholarship to any college of her
choice.
Mrs. Beba Sponseller, assistant
librarian of the Washington County
Library was the guest speaker at
the first in a series of seven orienta-
ton programs to be presented to the

Each year these orientation pro-
grams are held, but this year the
programs are being conducted in a
different maner. Several weeks ago
the Problems of Democracy"
classes of Mr.. Hillman were asked
the question what would you like
to be informed about in the orienta-
ton programs?" A list of subjects
were made from their answers,
which included CD outside reading
(2) opportunities of a career and
(3) boy and girl relations.
In an effort to bring speakers to
HIS. to talk about each topic,
Miss Beachley, guidance instructor
at HIS, has arranged to present
an orientation program to the sem
ior class each Monday afternoon at
800. This series is called "You."
