At the opening of the school term in Sep- tember 1943, the stars of the evening began to consider ways and means of present- ing and financing the programs for the 1943-'44 school year. At this same time, the stars tseniorsi were called together by the engineers and technicians and the prob- lems were presented to them. By unanimous vote it was decided to set the stage and prepare for this Broadcast Edition. Each pledged to give some of his time and talent and even money, if necessary, to see this project through. Each was made to realize that for the duration the book might have to be very different from previous yearbooks. The staff is endeavoring to show the entire school organization and its various activities throughout the different sections of the book. The first parading across the stage are all the stars .and second their activities and third their recrea- tional program. The cost of such a program as planned is approximately Sl,200. To finance this it was found necessary to raise the price of a book to 51.75 a copy. The rest of the money was made by selling such concessions as candy, milk, and ice cream at noon, and .-confections were sold after school and at basketball games, senior play and a gift from the Girl Reserves from their Vee Room evening. This work was directed by Miss Mabel Shelquist. The first big step toward broadcast programs was the taking of pictures of all the stars. Each member of the script cast then put in an average of an hour a day until the edition was finished and sent to the publishers. No special credit is given to the members of the script cast except an award which is granted to each member on the Monday of the last week of school. This year the following people will receive an award for their time and talent: Joseph Bozik, editor.: Victoria Lindberg, literary editor, Beverly Edwards, business manager, Helen Peck, girls' sport editor, Stanley Conner, boys' sport editor, Gordon LaTour, art. editor, Shirlee Hepner, activity editor, Leola Soliday, snap shot editor. Revvriters Record Studio Events Before practically every pupil in Valparaiso High School there passes in review the script program as prepared by a group of stars known as the Valpost Staff. Although this group is rather small if gathers and prepares articles about all 'of the events of school activities, expresses its opinion through editorials, and tries to record some of the lighter phases of happenings through the feature editorial. These stars are divided into two groups and must have one term's training in theory and writing before they assume an actual place on the staff. Many times, how- ever, some of the work of these pupils merit publication and is printed along with the work of the advanced pupils. The more advanced group or second term students prepare a program which appears every two weeks. This group along with its sponsor, Mrs. Emma Rausch Foor, is responsible not only for preparing these programs, but also for financing them. Advertising is sold to merchants. No out-of-town ads are solicited. The program itself costs fifty cents a year or thirty-five cents a semester. Subscriptions are sold by these same students through home rooms and the money is collected from each person by this same representative. This program is not to make money but to bring before the public all the activities of the school as they happen week by week. 1 This year because of paper shortage and lack of funds the paper was confined to four pages except for a special Christmas edition and the senior edition at the end of the year. The special Christmas number was sent to as many boys in the service whose addresses could be procured. The staff undertook to compile a list of names of the boys andhgirt oi V. H. 5. now in the service. ,These six hundred and ten names may be read in t is oo . '
