Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Ralph Thornton and Associate Editor Dorothy Seed, the staff of the Alex High Timesv, a bi-weekly school newspaper, successfully finished its fifteenth year of publication. One of the notable innovations which made its appearance in the paper this year was the streamlined form of make-up. Several staff members attended the Minnesota Press Associa- tion Convention at the University where they attended classes on jour- nalism. Later, several copies of the paper were submitted to the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association Critical Service from which the Alex High Timesu received a first class rating. Kathryn Westerfeld managed the business department with Bette Sather as broadway columnist and Kathleen Kiger as circulation manager. Gerald Johnson served as Sports Editor until a heavy load of activities forced him to give up the position which was filled by Roy Heinecke. Dennis Nelson was in charge of editorials. Other seniors on the staff included Marcelyn Stoppel, Andrea Wick, Yvonne Hustad, Merlin Roth, and Janet Anderson, reportersg Edward Fiala, Elsa Monagle, Irene Erickson, and Geraldine Skoglund, typists.
