The jeffersonian staff has been faced with many difficulties, all directly or indirectly caused by war time limitations, in producing the school newspaper- Dolive has had a hard time securing hlm and thcrc- fore often found it necessary to borrow cuts from the city dailies. With the ever lengthening roll of boys in service, Bess had quite a time keeping up the address files and licking endless stamps. Merchants already overwhelmed with business were not convinced of their need for advertising, so lid and Bettie had to resort to new methods of interesting them. On the other hand, there was plenty of material for Peggyls "Who's Whose"g many appreciative letters from service men and original poems for Vcra'S "jefferson Speaks." The full schedules of cxciting sports kept Tony busy on the sports page, and reading and digesting the exchange papers from other sCh00lS took most of Gloria's time. In spite of the rush to meet deadlines and thc eternal need for additional news stories, every mem- ber of the staff counts his experiences on thc jeffer- soriian among the most valuable.
