CUPOLA STAFF ers; our adviser, E. Gustav Johnson, is consulted when we arrive at dead- ends; pencils are worn along the edge of a ruler as layouts are designed; deadline approaching . . . needless to say, we were busy. The final March deadline appears so tar away when viewed from Sep- tember, and many hours are spent by the staff members in carrying out their assignment, which, upon completion, will retain many happy memories oi the best days of our lives spent on our North Park campus. We ' re proud of the Cupola ' 53. It is our wish that you, the reader, will share our feeling. CUPOLA STAFF Editor-in-Chief Ed Dwyer Assistant Editors . . .

CUPOLA ' 53 Perhaps any member of the Cupola staff could well adopt a cur- rently popular song as his theme. Z Get the Blues in Advance sums up all the emotional feeling of a frustrated editor, copy reader or sports writer when faced with the realization of a deadline schedule. But strangely enough, the hours of hard work spent in forming the framework of a year- book are suddenly suppressed when the final deadline is finished and the Cupola rolls off the press. A feeling of pride and satisfaction replaces any previous temptation of resignation. The Cupola office appears so quiet and peaceful upon the student ' s return to the campus in September, the dust atop the spacious editor ' s desk, has hardly been stirred during the summer months. This peaceful picture is soon disturbed when once again the sticking keys of the typewriter are clicking out club write-ups, the phone is kept hum- ming with urgent calls for photograph- EDITORS NANCY LAMBERT, ED DWYER, 1)1 BBY BENGTS 89

NORTH PARK COLLEGE NEWS The never-ending queries of Does the News come out this week? and the mad rush for the bookstore when the students rea- lize that the News is here are evi- dence of the popularity of this of- ficial hi-weekly publication of the school. A member of the Illinois Collegiate Press Association, the North Park College News has won many state awards for journalistic excellence. The staff which handled the News this year was short on ex- perience, but full of ambition and ideas. Their goal was to put out a paper which would be both attrac- tive and interesting. As the year moved along, the needed experi- ence was gained through actual work in putting together a college newspaper.

Business mana- ger Jerry fohnson was in charge of the fiancial side of publishing the paper. The News underwent several changes during the year. During the first semester, the front page assumed a new look every few issues as different styles of page JERRY H II INS »N. Business Manager DON I l l | , , ,„
