Vol. 26 No. 25 Great Neck, New York, June 14, 1956 Price: Five Cents III Wind llloics Good It was a typical Friday afternoon in November and tin Guide Post editors worked late and bard preparing tin- week’s copy. However, tile following Monday, when they entered the “cage” to layout the paper, they found the usual melange of people scurrying about, but no copy. Over the weekend, the Griscom Printing Company, the firm which printed the Guide Post, burned to the ground and with it, tile week’s articles. This issue was to have been the one where the new modern name plate wa to be introduced. Tin old line cut of the high school was to In replaced by a streamlined “photo by Ziff.” Fortunately, the cut of the name plate was salvaged from tile ashes and with the sole remnant of their paper, the editors set out in search of another printer. GUIDE POST EDITORS: Seated, left to right—C. Stein, M. Siegmeister, M. Lloyd. Standing—O. Morks, J. Gardner. After considerable sleuthing, the Arland Printing Company in New Hyde Park was discovered, and the new printer brought many new and exciting changes in format: shiny paper, modern headlines, new layout, to mention a few. A final innovation was the plan that each week several GUIDK POST editors were sent to Arland to look over the shoulder of the printer as he was “sweating bullets.” Mr. Fields briefs next year's Editor- in-Chief, Mel Levine. 20
