PAPER STAFF Led by its Editor-in-chief Franklin Anderson, the 1965-1966 Owl ' s Hoof has crashed into its eleventh volume with five editions. The paper staff has created a new fad at MUS. This is the Junior class Trivia Test. The test was a flop this year due to the fact that the sophomore class invaded, and the Juniors quit. A new activity of the newspaper is the dedication of each edition to some member of the faculty or student body. On the lighter side are the April Fool edition and the mysterious Court Day. 92

Just then, Smith and Heckle came in, the first carrying a broken typewriter, Ferd pulling out the remains of the activity articles which his dog had found that morning. Neither Hill nor McDonald had been at school for three days, and their articles, all twenty-seven of them, not counting the doaen they had written and lost, were due in twenty minutes. Sneed was to have turned in his photographs for cropping the day before ... his camera was at the factory, and would be there for a month. He didn ' t have any film, anyway. Just then, the four o f them heard the curtains part, and Crump came in with a strained look on his face. He was followed by MacQueen, whose face was not strained a bit. It was white. Crump had just told him about the bill for the kiddie pictures, and also about the four lost checks for four full-page ads. MacQueen ' s lip trembled, his eyes sparkled, and his mouth moved without saying anything. Doggrell ' s ad campaign, by the way, was in its second month and netted $735, only $2,065 from the goal. The drive had eight days to go; it had been extended five times already. As the six of them stood, or rather slumped, mus- ing over the favorable situation, Morelock bounced in with the news that Col. Lynn had decided that he wanted an orange and blue cover (blue background with orange owl feathers crisscrossed to spell MUS), instead of the white one. With that, the entire staff, advisor included, silently turned and filed out the back door of the chapel and down to the Commons Room for a few game of eight ball before lunch . C ' est la guerre. 3:00 AM at Warren ' s house . . . 91

Mr. Hatchett has taken his life in his own hands again this year as faculty advisor to the madmen of the paper staff. These are led by the chief, Franklin Anderson, and Associate Editor John Romeiser. The rest of the mob are News Editor Gordon Greeson, Sports Editor Dwight Drinkard, Copy Editor Bill Sammons, Photography Editor Stuart Dornette, Promotions Editor John Pettey, Circulation Co-Editors Ralph Lewis and Randy Moskovitz, and a cast of thousands. As Typing Editor, Bruce Smith types for the newspaper, the annual, the MUSE, and just about everything else. The newspaper room (also shared with the Astronomy Club and the sick) is always filled with the efforts of staff to write, set up, and circulate the paper. The staff pledges adherence to its motto — If you can ' t find news, make it yourself. Discussing the Italian motif of Franklin ' s paper room are: Top from left: Higgins, Romeiser, Drinkard, Billings, Smith, Greeson, Lewis. Bottom: Dornette, Sammons, Moskovitz; Very Bottom: Editor Anderson. 93
