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

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.

S fC fO1'lFlf4O'N ll AN SCOTTONIAN BOARD S- Tap Roux' Charles Muenger lBusiness Managerl, Virginia Gould, Milton Ackerman, Echo Morrisoi Mr. Welday. Bottom Row: Miss Morgan, Carter Barrett, Ira Davis. THE SCOTTOXIAN BOARD The present staff, composed of juniors and seniors, is smaller than the preceding one, and accordingly the individual mem- bers have had a larger share in the re- sponsibilities and work. Of the members, Charles lNIiller, editor, Janet Boyer, senior section, Milton Ackerman, advertising manager, and Virginia Gould, panel editor have served two years. Alma Eichelman was the literary editor, while Isabel Fortune worked as co-editor of the senior section. Eugene lmholt had charge of the large organizations section and the home room groups, Vliilliam Green assisting him. Nlaynard YYebb edited the athletic section, while hlarilynn Dodds worked out the feature section. The business end of the book was taken care of by Charles Kluen- ger in his position as business manager. The advertisements were obtained, of course, by hlilton Ackerman, and also by Ira Davis, who assisted him. In the spring of the year the editor and business manager for the succeeding year Ninfty-jim' are chosen by a committee composed of the present editor and business manager, the advisers, Rfr. Demorest, and Miss Caughey. Then the newly-elected editor, aided by suggestions of the advisers, is permitted to select the remaining members of his staff. The only exception to this is in the selection of the panel and assistant panel editors, who are chosen by the art adviser, Miss Klorgan. Finally Srorlonizzn Day arrives, and the books are distributed. Autograph hunters have a week of glory as they collect the signatures of seniors and freshmen alike. Other students pore eagerly over their copies, searching for the features in which they are the most interested. Finally, with the close of school, this, the twen- tieth edition of the Sfottonian, takes its place in the ranks of its predecessors, there to be consulted on many future occasions, when it will bring back happy recollections ofthe good times the students have enjoyed in their sojourn at Scott.
