minds accurate images of that clever operetta , of the time we tied with East . The organization editors, PeqqY l-lotz and Virginia Plennes, and Elizabeth Iaeger, senior editor, were in charge of the write-ups. And finally, some time this spring, all the pictures and write-ups were complete, so the Afmaal was ready for the next step in its production. The pictures were sent to the engraver. They were reduced or enlarged to the correct size, ancl were made into plates . The write-ups, at the print-shop, were set up to fit the space allotted to each section. Proofs, more proofs, and still more proofs were made of individual sections, and were sent back to Bay View to be corrected in order to elim- inate all possible errors. Meanwhile, a cover had been selected, and the bindery department at the print-shop began to make the nineteen hundred covers ordered by the students. Finally, after proofs had been pronounced perfect, the Oracle Amway! went to press! And what a fascin- ating sight it was to watch the huge press roll back and forth, completing page after page. But what good would a book be if no one would buy it? This problem was solved by a sweeping subscrip- tion campaign, which presented stunts for a full week taking students Around the Year with the Oracle . And so the Oracle Amrmal was printed and delivered, and is now in your hands. lt is the sincere hope of the people who worked to give it to you that you enjoy your yearbook, and preserve it for all time as a record of l937 at Bay View High school.

ELIZABETH WEBER, Associate Editor IEANNE CAMPBELL, Assistant Business Manager HAROLD HAMPTON, Sports Editor ETHEL ZAHN, Associate Editor V PEGGY HOTZ, News Editor DONALD WANEK, Circulation Manager The Newspaper Editor-in-Chief The Oracle began its service to the students of Bay View the second Friday of school last September and ended the current year just recently. Cutting short their vacation one week, Marion Marx, Elizabeth Weber, and Ervin Kwiatkowski came back to an unoccupied school so that the first issue might come out as scheduled. With only the main office staff and the janitors for company, these three wrote and gathered news until even the prolific minds of the girls were entirely without stories and leads. With the official opening of school, the announcement came from the teachers in charge of the newspaper campaign, Miss Lane and Miss Watson, that the drive would take on the as- pects of the presidential race. The insignia of each party, the Democratic Donkey and the Re- publican Elephant, paraded the halls, and humorous skits were presented in the homerooms and in the auditorium. Despite the fact that the enrollment had dropped to 2110 students, the school responded magnificently to post the highest subscription total since the boom days of '29, Life returned to a normal pace for Kenneth Barbian, the banjo-playing subscription mana- ger, and Donald Wanek, his genial assistant, for they were responsible for making the cam- paign a success. Everything moved with more regularity, once the semester was well under way. Peggy Hotz and Ethel Zahn gathered news and assigned stories, Elizabeth Weber served as a general handy- woman, Wilbert Evers and Virginia Plennes obtained more ads than the business staff heretofore, Page Twenty-one
