5 CO-EDITORS-IN cH1EP x BETTIE ANN CROSS MARIE ELLEN CROSS Newspaper Four years ago, when Oracle meetings were announced every other week, some of the more venturous among the freshmen wandered in and waited hopefully for a chance to do something - just anything on the Oracle. ln time opportunity came to them as it had to a long line of Oracle workers throughout the years. They too became star reporters, assist- ant editors, and associate editors. Finally, a few of them who had worked, waited, and hoped, became the newspaper editors of l939 and l94O. By that time they had learned to write news, features, editorials, headlines, and had perhaps even gone to the printers as messengers or helpers. But the thrill of responsibility still lay ahead. Returning from summer vacation one week before the school year opened, Bettie and Marie Cross, lack Kirby, George Rusteilca, and WILMOT GAULKE, Feature Editor IAMES VANDERHOOF, Assistant Sports Editor MARILYN WYSOCKI, Assistant Feature Editor MARY LOUISE SOHEFFLER, MARIANNE HOERRES, Humor Editors

MILDRED PFORR, Business Manager RUTH SZULCZEWSKI, Assistant Business Manager Charles Zahn gathered school news, wrote the stories, headlined them, and completed the Oracle newspaper so that it could be issued three days after the session opened. The Oracle campaign was introduced with a radio skit by Charles Zahn and the Cross twins, editors. The public address system was used extensively tor the first time as a sales' medium. Daily radio skits and traveling troupes ot singers, dancers, and entertainers made the campaign an acknowledged success. Then came the fascinating routine ot getting the paper out. Assignments to reporters, checking copy, writing headlines, taking pictures and laying out pages-all were the prelude to the best days ot all when they gathered car checks, passes, lunch, wraps, and papers and went down to the printers.
