The 7nl'!.'LG'L EWS, editorials, features-copy, headlines, ads-advisors, editors, cubs-worry, hurry, scurry-what's this? Why, The Mirror, of course. Under the supervision of Miss julia Louise Sutor, teacher of journalism, and Mr. Leonard Tinker, bookkeeping teacher, the journalism class of each semester edits a four page weekly newspaper, known as The Mirror. This paper is com- paratively small, measuring only 9xl5 and divided into four columns of 2l4i inches each, but, even so, it completely covers the school and provides an excellent project for the journalism classes. lt is the practice of the Mirror to select juniors as assistant editors and busi- ness managers that they may profit by apprenticeship while competing for the first positions. The editor-in-chief of the current issues is Vernon Ahrman, who is helped by assistant-editors Ed Culver, john Nitchals, and l-larry Rechtin and by Desk Editor Dolores Alerding. The business manager, Bob Dodsworth, is assisted by Melvin Rheins. All staff officers serve throughout the school year. As nearly as possible, the Mirror is published like a metropolitan daily, The reporters, or members of the journalism class, are assigned certain stories, which they secure, write up, and hand in to Miss Sutor. Miss Sutor reads over the copy, corrects it, and gives it to the editor-in-chief, who marks the sizes and kinds of headlines desired and has them written by the assistant editors, desk editor, or reporters, After the copy has thus been prepared, it is sent to the print shop, where it is set up on linotype machines. Proofs of this type are made and sent back to the editor- in-chief. One set of proofs is corrected and sent back to the print shop, the other is cut up to make a dummy, Meanwhile the business manager and his assistant solicit new ads or secure new copy for old ones. The changes are marked on a previous issue of the Mirror by Mr. Tinker. This advertising copy is given to the editor-in-chief, whose duty it now becomes to write the stories and ads in an economical manner, that is both pleasing to the eye and in keeping with journalis- tic styles. Under his supervision, the print shop then sets up the paper in page form, prints it, and sends it to the high school, where it is distributed to the sub- scribers by the Mirror representatives in the home rooms. Free copies are sent to the advertisers by the business manager. Other copies are sent for exchange to other schools by the exchange editor, joan Delaney. Such is the procedure for each issue, and there are thirty issues per school year. Much credit is deserved by the faculty advisors, Miss Sutor and Mr. Tinker for a great portion of the Mirror's success is dependent upon their wholehearted cooperation and unbounded perseverance.
