I glance at the door. No hope there. The editors are fiendishly gluing it shut. The assistant editor is holding my feet and left hand. Sentimental, ain't he? He's kind enough though to let me write with my right one. CLittle does he know that I'm left-handedj To think that I2 minutes ago I was peacefully bouncing through the halls on my pogo stick when the editors pounced on me with the happy news that this page goes to the printers in 2824 minutes, and where is my copy? VVhere is my copy? Ah, that is the ques- tion. I repeat: Where is my copy? Where is my copy? Where is my copy? Where is my copy? Oh, gee, only 100 words left. Honestly, some people are so dumb. I look around me to see the illustrious members of the Wahian Staff slaving to meet the dead-line. There is Art Litman eating paste, Mr. Claeson eating an onion, Wally Han- son devouring Esquire, Alice Golds- worthy sucking her thumb, and Louise Altman making pies with the shav- ings from the pencil sharpener mixed with water which she has, after hours of labour, succeeded to pump from the drinking fountain. I hope it isn't catch- ing. It must be spring. Well, anyhoo, Ilm off to the typing room in a gale of horse radish. Toodle-oo! A DAY IN THE GRIST VVhere the clang of typewriters fills the air, where the rattle of paper is never absent, where the noise of voices calling out, Where is your copy? The deadline is in five minutes! is a familiar sound, our beloved school's newspaper is created and brought to life. Let's take a stroll down to Room 220 and see what goes on behind that mysterious door. After giving the secret password we gain entrance through the sliding panel in the wall. Here we lind Dottie Lanham copying jokes out of the Reader's Di- gest, Don Borrman ruling out headlines, lack Gustaf- son giggling, and Stan Langland biting his fingernails. As we hewilderedly dodge the spit balls thrown at us by Lloyd Fredin, we are startled by a blood-curdling scream, alas, it is only Ward Ring discovering that he has made out the assignments wrong. VVe amble over to the bulletin board to find that Frank Chase is in the dog house. Also we Find posted ROOM not allowed on the second page. Next we come upon an extremely interesting black- board adorned with many artistic sketches, the works of some unknown genius no doubt. the jokes that were We pause in our inspection of the wastebasket to witness the climax of a snowball fight at the far end of the room. Miss Dowling finally succeeds in closing the windows. Look! I-Iere comes Stan Nowak in his helicopter. How the Grist stall rushes to meet him! How they maul him! You haven't written that story yet! they exclaim. We notice that Ioe Miller is making a hasty exit via the ventilator. Maybe it would be to our advantage to make a hasty exit also, for I see Miss D approaching with an axe raised high. I wonder if she wants a bite of my sand- wich. VVell, I'm too hungry today to give away any of my lunch. Let's gol

I4-WASHBURN WAHIAN I944 i' HUSTLERS '6One hot dog, pleasef' This request was made hundreds of times last fall from the bleachers by hungry Wash- burn students. The Hustlers, Club really lives up to its name when it comes to supplying refreshments on the double quick. Many of us do not realize that they are sacrificing some of their own pleasures in order to unselflshly serve us.

Row Three: Grant, Hallinan, Peterson, Radford, Aschenbeck A. GRIST SETS THE PACE The All-American Grist keeps Wash- burn students Min the knoww about school functions. This paper comes out twice a month, and if you went into the Grist room the Tuesday afternoon of the deadline, you would wonder what was happening. Editors yelling at assistants and the pounding of type- writers would tell you that the Grist will really come out on Thursday at Palmer and Stan Langland. Stan took the job alone during the spring term. Dorothy Lanham managed to edit the second page all year. Carolyn McLean worked on third page news, but after mid-year graduation Don Borrman took charge of the page. During the fall and spring semesters, the sports page was edited by Frank Chase and lack Gustafson, respectively. Official two o'clock. censor is Miss 'lDee, the advisor.

U-WNSHEHBN WAHlffN iii? A lT'S All THEIR FAULT ART STAFF Planning original page arrangements and mounting pictures are essential jobs taken care of by the art stall. Upon Walking into the art room, one is con- fronted with the smell ol paste as some of the members are mounting pictures on huge pieces of cardboard, while others are busy drawing the scaled layouts. The art stall has a big job, and they have done it well. Row Une: Forineiieli, Mann, Hoppe, Reinke, Townsend . . . Row Two: Hill, McCabe, Rand, Dyson, Redick, Halle. Maple, Riggs, Snyder EDITORIAL STAFF VVhcre's my copy? live lost page lol VVhat'll l Write! Such is the conversa- tion in room 218 as the editorial stall works feverishly to meet their dead- line to the printers. Their job is iden- tifying all the pictures, taking care of photography schedules, copy writing, composing headlines, meeting war time regulations, and taking care of the other million problems which arise in the editing of any year book. Row One: Peterson, Moyer, VVheaton, Mills, Gindt . . . Row Two: Mr. Claeson. Rohner, Dougherty, McCormick, Peterson. Hamilton . . . Row Three: Krause, Cliristopherson, Donahue, Replogle, Litman, Goldsworthy, Raihle BUSINESS STAFF It is the duty of the business stall to sell the Wahian and take care of all other hnancial matters. Because the price of the 1944 VVahian is not any higher than that of previous years, and because it is the only book in the city that does not need advertising to bal- ance the budget, it is up to the mem- bers of the business staff to sell a copy to everyone in school. Row One: Bros, Iohnson, Bliss, Fosdick, Ken- non . . . Row Two: Greenwald, lohnson, Maul, Horferber, Haugen . . . Row Three: Hoetger, Hendrickson, Miller, Bear, Merrill, Roth, Cleve, Browning, Noodleman . . . Row Four: Birch, Lanham, Nelson, Oakes, Broad, Bertie, Sigvertsen, Mr. Fleenor
