Now, if you would pose over here. . . ” “What is your name again? Uh, could you spell it? Now, could you tell me. . . ” “How can I dummy this page ? The pictures haven’t even been taken!” These quotations,- not to men tion certain others, have been heard all week long by high school students attending journa lism workshop sessions on cam pus, with headquarters at the Memorial Student Center. The workshop has been spon sored by A&M for the last six years to aid students in develop ing better newspaper and year books on the high school level. Activities began Sunday, when most of the delegation arrived for registration to discover that a summer thunderstorm had brought a moment of relief from the hot weather. However, they discovered that relief is often temporary as they traipsed about the campus the rest of the week. Over 300 students and spon sors have convened, most from Texas. One delegation though, hails from Cameron, La., and one sponsor. Miss Janet Douglas, ar rived from Hamilton, Ohio. Yearbook workers number lar gest with 165 students, while newspaper ranks next with 120. Photographers and sponsors num ber 30 each. The day begins early for most delegates as they walk to Sbisa Hall in the morning mist to eat breakfast. With this exercise and nourishment, some manage to wake up in time to catch part of the morning sessions. Much of the afternoon is spent in working on various assign ments given to students by their directors, who are eager to help them develop their talents-or lack of them! Comes supper and the delega tion crawls over to the cafeteria to replenish themselves. The lines may be long, and the food may be tempting, but fortunately no serious riots have occurred. Nights have been arranged to provide fun and entertainment. For example, several delegations presented various acts in a talent show Monday night. Aggies had a chance to show their talent Wednesday night when they were invited to the workshop dance. It,appeared that the girls had the mb'st fun. uJl. Activities also include attend ance at the A&M summer musi cal, “Bloomer Girl,” Thursday night. A barbecue was held Tuesday afternoon and a buffet supper will be held Thursday night. Awards will be presented Fri day morning to recognize the en deavors of many of the students. Afterwards, the delegations will prepare to leave the A&M cam pus. They will take with them memories of tired feet, long cafe teria lines, humidity, fun and most of all, work. The results of this work will show in the news papers, yearbooks and photo graphs of the coming year. Or, anyway, it is supposed to. ( s r>? c s HERE, NO HERE, NO— ... just were on the campus are we? AND BEAUTIES TOO Gayle Gravley is crowned Miss Workshop, 1964. OH, THAT FEELS GOOD and to think that UT only has a 6th of this. Delegates Veto Topless For what it’s worth, 68 per cent of the High School Journal ism Workshop delegates thumbed down the new topless bathing suit trend. That’s the result of a poll taken by the “Sweatshopper,” one of the workshop’s publications edited by Susie Aycock of Nederland High School. Editor Aycock penned that 51 per cent of. the male delegates voiced no objection to the new style, although 75 per cent op posed their favorite girl wearing the garment. Only 13 per cent of the girls agree with the new vogue, and only 7 of 100 said they would wear it, the article noted. YOU MUST BE JOKING a 10:30 curfew for us grown-ups? PLENTY OF HOMEWORK TO BE DONE after curfew, dances, parties swimming, singing and other small details. DEAR MOMMY AND DADDY .. sure glad you aren’t here, we work all day and night. ■ I
