The typing staff of the GLEAM has one main task to accomplish: lt must prepare all copy for the printer. This is very important work in the publishing of the GLEAM each year. This duty of the members of the staff is to type the articles which 'have been prepar- ed by the literary staff. Copy is then checked for typographical errors. The work of this staff must be done in a relatively short space of time, since the work of the layout and literary staffs is preliminary to the typing of copy and cannot be com- pleted' until near the day of printing. The members of the staff are Shirley Campbell, Shirley Payne, Frances Howard, Lita Lou Fisk, Carol Anway, Marilyn Iohnson, Martha Oatman, Marianne McBride, Earline Snedeger, Kathleen Harcourt, Alice Fitzgerald, and Rosemary Olson. This group was care- fully chosen from many pupils whose ability merited their becoming GLEAM typists. ,They were selected on the basis of their ability to type rapidly and accurately, their thorough- ness in checking material, and their ability to spell correctly. Much extra time is required for this task, but all of these students are willing to give their time in helping make the GLEAM a success. They do most of the typing in the morn- ings before school starts, at noons, after school, and during their study hall periods Even with all this work and their other extra-corricular activities, they rank among the highest in scholarship. The typing staff was very fortunate this year to have Mr. Leo Donohue as .sponsor U d h' ' ' ' ' n er is competent leadership and his capable assistance, the staff has done its work promptly and accurately and has contributed much to the success of- this year's GLEAM. 28

Members of the staff are carefully chosen for their ability to Write: they must maintain an average of S or above in English. These students volunteer their time and efforts for the publication of the annual. The literary staff Works in co-operation with the design and layout staff. After the dummy, which is a groundwork of the book, is prepared, the literary editors measure the allotted space for CODY, and assignments are given to contain a designated number of Words. Each year the staffs choose a theme to develop Within the book, and the literary staff does this by the Writing of articles around the basic idea. The members and editors of the staff strive to create a better GLEAM every year for the students of William Chrisrnan. They endeavor to produce a publication that will be cherished in future years. The GLEAM reflects the changing trends of personality and style embodied year by year in the William Chrisman students. When all articles are Written, the staff member's Work is complete. Then comes the revision and proofreading of the articles by the sponsor and co-literary editors. After it is checked and approved, the copy is typed. Many staff members devote a great deal of their time to extra typing. The compiling of a year book is a tedious job, but, with the capable guidance of the sponsor, Miss Verda Riller, the co-operationlof the editors, Virginia Gard and Marianne McBride, and the industrious efforts of members of the staff, the 1946 edition of the GLEAM is presented. 27

They spend many after-school hours and sometimes their study hall hours so that this part of the GLEAM may be a success. This year's advertising staff is composed of six faithful students: Paul Clum, Carol Anway, Martha Oatman, Curtis Weddle, Kay Turner, Fae Abbott, and Bill Hinde. The business managers are three students who have the re- sponsibility of handling all the GLEAM rnoneyf they keep strict accounts, and record the home room GLEAM sales. The managers are Leona Dye, Doris Hays, and Frances Kear- ney. The duties of the advertising staff consists chiefly of securing the advertisements which appear in the GLEAM. Staff members are assigned by their sponsor various busi- ness and professional houses in and near lndependence from which to solicit advertis- ing. Since these are often Widely separated, students often spend much time in obtaining their advertisements. The response from these firms has been very good. Some houses have even called the staff requesting space in the GLEAM without having been solicited at all. The staff also measures the space which has been allotted to advertising matter. The duties of the business managers are collecting and keeping careful account of GLEAM money, by no means a small task. The entire staff assists in the distribution of the GLEAMs at the end of the year. Much of the Work of the Business and Advertising Staff is meticulous and time-con- surning. These students and their capable sponsor, Miss Ianie Chiles, are to be compli- mented on an important task well and promptly executed. 29
