Thursday, March 18, 1954, ---WITH MARILYN (Marilyn Scott) I came down to,the Tribune office with the idea of doing the numerous odd jobs that seem to pop up when- ever everything is supposed to be run- ning smoothly. My plans were sud- denly changed when the Social Editor came up with the bright .?- idea that I should write the “With Irene” col- umn. So here I am, just bursting with news and I don’t know where to start. However, anything I write is look how well you turned out! Un- quote. Another topic among us is the students’ issue of The Tribune. We feel proud that adults actually be- lieve we can turn out an issue good enough to’sell to the public. Our views and efforts are finally being realized and set before the people to judge. We hope wou will enjoy read- OFF FOR HOLIDAY IN COUNTRY WIN TWO, LO: E TWO Four schools competed in the Cariboo Basketball Championship Tournament held at Quesnel on March 18.

What seems uppermost in all our minds right now is “money " Take the price of shows. Like most stu- dents, my girl friends and I enjoy the movies. But a dollar twenty once @ week puts quite a dent in the pocket book. Even a slight drop in price of fifteen cents would be greatly ap- preciated by all the students, One item we talked about is why our parents can’t figure out our seven-day programme that is. used in our high school. “How do you know what day it is?” Actually this seven day programme is used widely throughout the province. It means longer periods so that both teachers and students may carry out their jobs more efficiently. We feel, too, that it puts variety into school life. It is not the same old grind day after day. It does become a habit though. Only this morning as I started to write my column I headed it “Day 6.” who has been so patient and helpful, we express our sincere thanks. Being able to work with adults and like adults has given us a more mature ‘outlook on jobs outside high school. We certainly have learned a great deal about how a newspaper is put to press. If Irene has as much trouble writ- ing her column every week as I've had just this once. I don’t envy her one bit. I'd rather go to high school. Leaves On Tour Mrs. E. G.
