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.

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

THE SCOTTONIAN SOLICITORS Scottonian solicitors report to room 105 at SES. At least once every two weeks for the larger part of the year, the morning announcements carried this notice. Xvhen all the solicitors had assembled, Klr. Biel- day gave a short pep talk, pointing out the bits of information which were to be emphasized in the sales tall-is in the home rooms, then the business staff awaited the results. Soon the first of the teams came in to check in the subscriptions taken, with the money collected. The line of waiting solicitors grew longer as 9:00 o'clocl4 approached, but by 9:15 the last ones had left, all having reported varying successes. Then the tension subsided, and while estimates were made by members of the staff as to the amount collected, the assorting of the bills from the change be- gan. Vfhen the total was announced, it invariably ran higher than was to be ex- pected from the financial difficulties almost everyone experienced this year. Therefore, the solicitors should receive a major portion of the credit for the success of the Srottozzialz, for their sales compare very favorably with last year's. One month from the press deadline, hlay Sth, about the same number of subscriptions had been completed as last year at the corresponding time, although the number of initial payments was lower. One thing was very noticeable this year. A greater percentage of those starting payments completed them than was the case last year, which attests to the salesmanship displayed by the solicitors. It is the hope of the staff that many of them will return next year to continue their fine Work began this year. Niazfly-fi.x'
