Bottom Row: Harriet Chapman, .Xnn Faben, Nancy Rucker, Kliriani Osness THE THISTLE BOARD To keep a high school paperls presses successful financially was the task of the Business Board. Tom Hallenbeck, busi- ness manager, Mr. R. S. Weiser, faculty adviser, Betty Coultrap, advertising mana- ger, and Andrew Reynolds, Miss Coul- trap's assistant, deserve credit for their untiring efforts lent in this direction. This business staff should be commended because of the regularity of publication under the great odds of the present times. Various methods were resorted to so that a suflicient number of copies would be sold. Some of them had been tried before with varying success, but at no other time was the outcome more important. At Thanks- giving time a turkey was given away free to the owner of the Thirtle bearing a certain number. Tickets to basketball and football games were given to the students making the closest guesses as to the results of the games. A good, old- fashioned bean-guessing contest proved to N infly-th fre be one of the most successful of the ideas. However, it was due to the zeal and inspiration of the business manager that the crowning glory of these schemes was formulated. The latest method of modern advertising was resorted to. XYho out of all Scott's loyal students could forget this memorable jingle? The Tl1z'.fl!f'f thc Thing For which you should bring A nickel next Wednesday morning. Then in order to prove his persistency to sell the publication, the following verse appeared as a sequel to the lirst: If you like to hear gossip Keep up with the times, Buy always a Thiftlf' And stop these dumb rhymes. Enough students must have accepted the advice of the zealous business manager, for up to this writing no more of these courageouslittle dittieshavebeenpublished.

THE THISTLE BOARD In its fourth year as distributer of Scott High news the 1932-'33 Th ixtlf has achiev- ed noteworthy prestige, obtaining first class honor rating. Under the constructive leadership of Russell Gruber, editor-in-chief, and Miss lX'Iary Perkins, faculty adviser, a group of serious high school news writers have de- veloped. Ivlarilynn Dodds, Ann Faben, Joe Kozak, IXf'Iartha Jewell, and Harriet Chap- man have seen to it that the editorial col- umn is well taken care of along the line of contemporary thought. Jane Stowell, Katharine Gram, and Betty Coultrap edit the news as it is offered by reporters. Betty Bennett and Nancy Rucker cover the var- ious sources of news in clubs and school so- cieties. Barbara Wing and INfIorlye Baer capably fill the remaining columns with humor, out-of-school news, and special fea- ture articles. The sport department, headed by Herbert Little and Irving Shore, fur- nishes readers with a realistic reporting of the events that have for years lifted Scott high into the sport limelight. Bill Smith, well-known for his art work and especially in theline of cartoons, has taken care of that type of work. lNfIuch credit must be given also to Isabel Arenson, exchange editor, and the typists, Sarah Higger and Eleanor Dobres, for their good work. The group of reporters, without which no paper can endure, include Betty Daniells, KIargaret Vitz, Dan Garder, Elenor Tarshis, Joe Froehlich, Louis Wel- don, Betty Neukom, Jane Cohn, John Spitzer, Florence Salzman, Irving Wein- burg, May Sukrow, and Andrew Reynolds. Advertisements, which are so necessary to a high school newspaper, were obtained by a number of solicitors to whom praise should go for their faithful efforts. Stu- dents on this staff are Lawrence Bell, Dorothy Freese, Betty Jane Rogers, Mary Miller, Mary Lou Holdgraf, and Mary Ellen Schneider. Ninety-two

THE SCOTTONIAN BOARD The Sroftozzimz Board breathes a sigh of relief as the book goes to press, for all the worries and fears that beset a pub- lication staff are past, and only rem- iniscences remain. No longer does the Business hlanager have visions of unpaid debts due to the closing of a bank, which tied up a con- siderable portion of our money. The fin- ancial situation in general also reduced the income so much that the future of this book was in doubt at one time. Fortunate- ly, the tide changed, and careful planning brought things to a successful conclusion. One of the highlights of the year was the eleventh annual convention of the National Scholastic Press Association, held at Cincinnati, November the 3rd to the Sth, 1932, and attended by hliss Caroline hlorgan, art adviser, hfliss Clare Humph- rey, literary adviser, Nlr. Roy VVelday, business adviser, and Charles hfliller and Charles Nluenger of the SCOff07Zid7l Staff. The association sponsors a critical service in grading school publications according to their merits. The valuable criticism of the hundreds of annuals exhibited there enabled the staff to publish a better book than otherwise would have been possible. Incidentally, the 1932 Scottonian was given a first class honor rating for schools of one thousand one or more students by the association. Unlike many schools which employ com- mercial artists, all of the Sc0tt01zia1z'.r art work is done by students of the art depart- ment of Scott. This not only stimulates originality, but sustains the policy of keep- ing the book as nearly a student creation as possible. Therefore, too much credit cannot be given to Carter Barrett, who designed the cover, Virginia Gould, the frontispiece, and to VVinston Ewell, Lucy hflcCracken, Echo Nlorrison, Nlargaret Napier, Raymond Pioch, and Dorothy Toffler, who executed the division pages. Their Work is up to the high standards which characterized the previous books. Ninely-four
