Eight successive issues, edited by Elmer Winger, advised by Leonard I. Bartlett, were judged and given this high honor. The year's journalistic endeavor was hlled with interesting new innovations for the college Weekly. Starting work in the fall in a new press room, the Collegian editors published as their first issue, the largest paper in MJC history -a twelve page newspaper. This car- ried a new streamline type of headline. Additions to the paper were a mast- head on woman's page and Campus Camera, a feature released by the As- sociated Collegiate Press Service. Erom this service was obtained an editorial page feature, This Collegiate World. Editor Winger carried on, through his editorial columns, a movement to have a campus museum started. , The staff for the fall semester was Elmer Winger, editor, Rosemary Der- rough, advertising manager, Carol Ev- ans, campus editor 5 Bill Stebbins, sports editor, Mary Vincent, woman's editor, Mary Frances Gurney, feature editor, Ralph Malone, circulation manager, Chow, Gerry Barnett, Ed Willard, Martha Tatoyan, columnists, Joseph Jones, Carlton Peregoy, Donald Cal- kins, John Patton, Dorman Commons, Ruth McCleary, June Hamilton, Phyl- lis McKee, Dorothea Sprague, Phyllis Klinkhammer, Helen Manha, Senechi Sakurai, Irene Pettersen, Barbara Whit- more, Lawson Moore, Betty Reed, Juliet Bidou, Hazel Moore, Marion Lil- ley, Frank Vaccaro, Ed O'Connor, Dayton Hardin, Charles Johnson and Tom Hancock. One couldn,t defeat the other, so the spring semester candidates, Bill Stebbins and Carol Evans, were de- clared co-editors of the paper. New records in advertising were set and broken by Clinton Mack, freshman advertising manager. Establishing a record for selling two one-half page ads, Mack later defeated his own high by receiving orders for two full-page layouts. A color edition was issued for the Open House festivities in the spring. Front-page streamers were used in sev- eral instances to herald important col- lege events. In order to give these ac-- tivities timely publicity, The Collegian was printed a day before the Friday publication date during certain spring weeks.

CoS0Xmfy 1937 - BUCCANEER Omw , Edwin Smith, editor of the 1937 Buccaneer LAST SPRING Edwin Smith was elected Buccaneer editor, this spring the Buccaneer is issued. That sounds simple, but a long list could be made of the details which were involved between the election of the editor and the distribution of the Buc- caneer. First came the task of requesting, encouraging, begging sophomores to have their pictures taken for the Buc- caneer. Leo Shoob, former graduate of Modesto Junior College, was the oflicial photographer who shot', not only the upperclassmen in their formal poses, but who pictured important ac- tivities of the school year. Kenneth Fosberg and Wilson Moss, as student photographers, were respon- sible for snapshots and action pictures of the students in their less studious moments. ' Selection of the editorial staff was made in the spring semester with writ- ers being assigned articles covering all activities and events of the year 1936- 1937. Making assignments was com- paratively easyg getting them in before the deadline had entirely expired was a worry shared by the editor and staff. Bill Stebbins, veteran journalist of Collegian and Buccaneer, edited the sports department, with Donald Cal- kins, John Patton, and Joe Jones cov- ering athletic events of the year under his direction. Betty Chow was the writer for women's athletic activities. Buccaneer aft work and those clever feature page layouts were designed by Gracealberta Hudelson. Senechi Sa- kurai composed headings and page titles. Juliet Bidou was the hard-work- ing secretary of the staff. Betty Fitch was the rewrite member of the staff, correcting and editing copy. A technical process known as pho- tolith, done by the Stanford Press, is responsible for the unusual divisional scenes, which were photographed by Shoob. When the staff had written its last word and corrected the Hnal comma fault, the Buccaneer-to-be was placed in the hands of Simard and Mathes, Stockton printers. Next the year book was put between covers by Herbert Silvius of Sacramento. Cuts, too, were executed in Fresno, by Bee Engraving. Students writing for the Buccaneer were Carol Evans, Juliet Bidou, Ruth McC1eary, Gerry Barnett, June Hamil- ton, Betty Fitch, Phyllis Klinkhammer, Bill Stebbins, John Patton, Donald Cal- kins, and Betty Chow. The faculty adviser was Leonard I. Bartlett.
