Such is the conversa- tion in room 218 as the editorial stall works feverishly to meet their dead- line to the printers.

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?

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.

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

'A' I944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-Q PRESSINTERVIEWS Left to right: Mr. Iackson, Miss Denison, Miss Blessin, Mr. Frogen, Miss Dowling, Mr. Hoard THEY BACK THE ATTACK Students, they've done it again! The faculty committee in charge of the sale of war bonds and stamps has completed a successful year. Under their supervision and guidance, the third war loan drive, which ended December seventh, was entirely satisfactory. Positive proof of this is found in the figures which show that thirteen jeeps were purchased. Spurred on by the enthusiasm put into this drive. Mr. Iackson, chairman of the committee, Miss Blessin, Miss Dowling, Miss Denison, Mr. Frogen and Mr. Sunde went on to organize the fourth war- ALL STARS! Washburn has sent three mem- bers to the armed service and two into war work. Among these is Lt. Col. Ianes, former chem- istry teacher, who is now in charge of the division of chemi- cal warfare in Washington, D. C. Another army man is Major Morris, who is now somewhere overseas. Students undoubtedly know him better as Mr. Morris, math teacher. Our Coast Guard representative is Lt. Dillner stationed at Curtis Bay, Mary- land. He taught biology. Not to be forgotten are our women in service who are both in war work. Miss Neal and Miss Holliday both left their positions here to aid the war effort. Miss Neal, former visiting teacher, is now Field Supervisor of the Red Cross in Texas. Miss Holliday, well known to Spanish and French students, is using her knowledge of foreign languages in the Intelligence Service. loan drive. fAccording to rumors among students, Mr. Iackson is an excellent mathematicianj Upon the completion of this drive, plans were made for the rest of the year. There were to be no more war loan drives, but instead one goal. In order to reach this goal and Hy the coveted Schools- at-War flag, it would be necessary for ninety per cent of the students to pur- chase stamps and bonds regularly. Sta- tistics show that all-in-all, the majority of the students seemed to realize that each stamp bought not only aided the war effort but was one of the best investments in the future. Congratula- tions to this committee that served so well, not only the students of Wash- burn, but also their country. THEY RATE I. Q.'s Mr. Fleenor, Miss Christensen, Miss Suber, and Mr. Wells were on the com- mittee to help Mr. MacQuarrie inter- view the candidates for National Hon- or Society.
