The Creative Writing Class, under the guidance of Miss Mildred Watson, writes and publishes Leaves in the Wind ' every year. Much painstaking effort was put forth by John Harvey. editor of the magazine, and the editorial staff. With the aid of Miss Watson, the entire class chose the best writings; then, the real work began. With the deadline looming up before them, the seventeen potential writers taking the course worked hard rewriting, copy-reading, and re-typing their brainchildren, until finally the book was ready to go to press. Barbara Buchanan, business editor, took over the publicity, and at last pushed the actual sale over the top. All work and no play makes Sammy and Sally Saint dull students. Miss Watson, being the understanding advisor that she is, suggested a party to celebrate the success of Leaves in the Wind. This suggestion was acted upon, and for one evening these would be Shakespeares forgot about the Rhyming Dictionary and the Thesaurus and concentrated on fun. A most successful and happy year was enjoyed by the Creative Writing Class. They have learned not only to write stories and poems but also to take criticism of their work good naturedly.

Members of the Generator Staff, under the editorship of Jim Spiegel for the first semester and Donna Draga-set the second, have labored skillfully and painstakingly in their task of supplying news and information to the whole school. The Generator Staff is, perhaps, the busiest of all the publication staffs in Santa Ana Senior High School, os it has the responsibility of publishing, copy-reading, and proof-reading twenty-four papers a year. This means the job of getting out on the average of one paper a v eek. In spite of the tremendous amount of work required of each member, the staff still reported all the sports events, parties, dances, club doings, and personal items, and met deadlines faithfully.

Mr. Delmar Martens acted as advisor for the first semester, and Miss Mildred Watson took over the responsibility for the second semester. However, with the cooperation and help of all the journalism students, the Generator sailed through a successful year. Much credit also goes to Mr. Willard E. Francis for his co-operation in helping to publish the paper. f Writ row: J. Elmore, I.. Parra. C. Heyael, G. White. G. Heysel. -Mr. Martens. Second row: B. Knapp, J. Schermcrhorn, K. Handle. 1).

Too much praise can not be given to the print shop and to Mr. Willard E. Francis for their hard work in doing practically all of the printing needed for the Santa Ana schools. Pressman Arthur R. Hull assists Mr. Francis in the various jobs undertaken by the department. Few realize the tremendous effort that is put forth in the printing of the many features, which are probably headed by the daily bulletin and the football programs for both Saint and Don games. Besides publishing the Generator and setting up printed material for the Ariel, the print shop is entirely responsible for the fine workmanship on the El Don and both of the junior high school papers. In addition to this, Mr. Francis supervises a class in printing. Under his guidance, students learn the fundamentals of setting type, working the various machines, and putting out a newspaper. Movies are used as a supplement to actual practical application in printing. The student body owes the print shop and Mr. Francis a great deal for their successful efforts in making Santa Ana High School's printing department tops. A friend in need is a friend indeed. “Punt S ofi First row: A. Hull, B. Coffman, C. Winkler, B. Jelllson. R. Warner. Mr. Francis. Second row: V. Becklund, G. Pyatt. F. I.aKima, R. Guajardo. G. Lay. 30
