When you reluctantly tore out of your math teacher's room late one after- noon after school, didn't you wonder about the cries of agony coming from the I-Ii-News room? That was the abode of the I-II-NEWS BUSINESS BOARD, headed by Mr. Altschuler. Being a Davis student and, therefore, an in- I quisitive soul, you probably peeked in and saw Mary Ellen Warshauer and Thelma Finkelstein tearing their hair out while trying to balance the budget. If only two plus two equalled fivel They do not, however, so the girls had to use all their knowledge of mathematics, includ- ing calculus, to make the figures tally. They really didn't mind because a large amount of money meant many subscribers and advertisers which the I-li-News readily de- served. Speaking of advertisers, the tired but happy peo- ple with dragging feet that you might have seen around the building were the ones that ventured forth to get ad- vertisements for the paper and came back the victors. i'Anything for the I-li-News was the motto of the busi- ness board. lust as the little woman is usually behind a big ex- ecutive, so is a little group usually behind a big activity.

CQWJVCH1 PIIQIIIIC to gfeep Qack Gfocks Rush that copyl Set that typel You didn't have to speak journalistic jargon to guess where you'd hear those words. At a HI-NEWS meeting, naturally. Mr. Copp and staff managed to put out the largest school paper in Westchester County at the smallest cost. It was quite a job to get the paper out so often, as any harried reporter could have told you. It always was a race against time. Their greatest problem was to interest the stu- dent body and they always came through with a swell paper. It you had ever wanted to start a club, you would have come into contact with Miss Young's SCHOOL INTERESTS COMMITTEE. They ap- plied tor charters tor clubs, approved club budg- ets and awarded non-athletic honors. Quite an important committee when you realize that we had some 40 odd clubs here.

The group provided for a regular mode of pro- cedure for the organization and establish- ment of all clubs and societies, provided gen- eral regulations for their conduct and prac- tices, defined their rights and privileges, provided means for their support, acted as collector, custodian, and disburser of all funds, and transacted all other business of general interest to the teaching staff and the student body of the school not otherwise pro- vided for. With that terrific amount of work to be done it is a wonder that they found time for their eight hours of beauty sleep. As you look at their jolly faces at the top of the page, they don't appear to be over-worked. Behind closed doors the master minds of Davis made important plans. ln the air filled with verbal barrages the inimitable Richard Clark, perspiration running down his face, led the brain trust.
