With the advent of required English in the twelfth year for all college and commercial course students, Journalism was instituted along with speech. The major portion of the journalism was devoted to pre- paring material for publication in the Record-Herald each week as something of a school paper. To do this the class was divided into two sections, each responsible for .every other week's paper. Wanda Brade and Marjorie Smith were chosen by the class as editors, while various other members provided the staff. Each of the editors made the assignments, col- lected the copy which was graded the first semester by Mr. Ashby. About half a page of the Record-Herald was devoted to the Vane - for this was the name of our publication - each week. Sondra Sicard and Judy Parker were responsible for all feature articles, Marlene Doolittle and Richard Roan were to provide the music items while Gene lst row: Sara Reidenbach, Marilyn Craig.

This latter was taken over finally by Marlene and Joan Hankey. A shifting of classes between Mr. Ashby and Mr. Ruff threw the responsibility of both the Vane and the Breeze upon Mr. Ruff. The Annual became an out-of-class project with a diminished staff. The Vane was continued as a class project with continued publishing in the Record-Herald. At times material for the Vane seemed dreadfully hard to find, and other times it flowed in in such abundance that material was held over to another week, or published outside the actual columns of the Vane. It seems that this venture in journalism was suc- cessful, for many of the readers of the paper expressed to both the editor and the teachers their appreciation of being able to read real school news in the paper.

The first year Mr. Ruff taught in the Butler schools he started a mimeographed paper, the Breeze. This was edited and printed by members of the junior English class. The second year the Breeze was continued as a project of the third year English class. However, with the coming of the third year of his service in the school, a class in journalism was organized to edit a portion of the town paper - the Record-Herald, - and to edit our Annual - The Tropaeum. This class was assigned to Mr. Ashby, the sponsor of the Annual, so the Breeze staff was a volunteer organization, work- ing out-side of the class room and after school under Mr. Ruff's direction. The paper continued as a mimeographed magazine, 11-1 H f' J? .2'a2ss:fP.fx'1 Z 7,1 H-44 3rd row: Maureen Hill, Judy Parker, Joyce Adams, Tom McConnell, Judy Snyder, Lenore Ringenberg, Sondra Sicard, Marlene Doolittle, Mary Jaycox, Jean Wilson. 4th row: Burmell Walter, Richard Roan, Bill Sipe, Gene Smith, Barbara Lung, Wanda Brade, Cus Higley.

This changed the Breeze to a printed paper and the for- mat was liked much better. The annual became a project of a smaller staff which did all of its work either outside of school hours or during the activity period. Marlene Doolittle re- mained the editor-in-chief, but some of the lesser important places were eliminated and the work fell more heavily upon a few.
