 Has anybody watered the plants? This is the cry frequently heard from the News ' room. The reason for this is that the 1953 Arrow staff is no different from any previous staff with respect to raising plants. Aside from this, however, they have been very busy. This year's Arrows have been bigger and better than ever. There has only been one four page paper, with most Arrows averaging six pages. The staff feels that this is quite an accomplishment and are very proud of it. In order to have more money on hand for these bigger papers, the staff has sold pennants and bells at Homecoming, and collected money for ads. The majority of their finances come from the dues collected at the beginning of the semesters. Over the Thanksgiving vacation Judy Nelson. Evelyn Scheftel. and Janet Mikelson went to the National Press Conference in Chicago. They attended meetings and brought back many helpful hints which have aided the staff in putting out better papers. Upon question-ing. the girls will go into a long dissertation about the many things which they learned. Many sounds can be heard coming from the Arrow room on the day preceding a deadline. As the staff frantically tries to get their copy ready for the printer they create a rather wild bedlam. Although this occurs frequently the deadline is always met and the papers continue to come through better than ever. The efficiency of the staff and the helpfulness of their advisor, Mrs. Zittleman, are prime factors in this year's Arrows. EDITORS—Seated: Janet Mikelson.

The editors were heavily burdened by a number of troubles, such as: meeting deadlines, cutting and pasting boards, getting pictures taken, dreaming up new copy, and the eternal problem of financing. The selling of book covers, pictures, and Homecoming buttons, and the sponsoring of the first and biggest dance of the season, the Football Opener, helped solve these financial problems. Hard work and persistence helped overcome the other obstacles and what was once a dream is now a reality. One of the highlights of the year was the Arrow-Annual Banquet which was held at the Rainbow on May 20. The combined staffs had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed exchanging quips. The 1953 Wagistanian staff would like to thank Miss Neison, their advisor, whose helpful suggestions and criticisms were indispensable. Also: Mrs. Robertson and Mr. Segal of the Bureau of Engraving: Mr. Carlson of the Lund Press; the lundgren Studios: and the Minneapolis Star and Tribune for their much appreciated help. The editors, together with the staff and their advisor, take great pride in presenting to you the 1953 Wagistanian. STAFF S)ttin9- Maiy Machula Dona Ofdal, Ihleen Wold. Ann Morgan.

The many achievements of this year included: concession sales at football games: the raising of money for CARE: a clothing drive for the Save the Children Federation : and the annual Washburn-Southwest Leadership Conference. On the lighter side such events as Homecoming, an exchange dance with Washburn, and a Match-Me Hop were planned by the council and accepted by the student body with great enthusiasm. Some of the outstanding leaders were Tom Kass-mir, who was elected Vice President of the All State Student Council, and Ihleen Wold and Howie Cam-mack. who represented Southwest in the all-city student council. Southwest students wish to congratulate President Jay Dregni and advisor. Mr. Evan Haaheim. for the splendid 10b done in promoting activities for the general welfare of the school. •ottom DxireJ,LoSk,eM V • s Will,Row 2: T«d Colbum jerry Tom SMIma- Rob- -.cU Mu, Hume Row J: Tom Wendland.
