It's six stories high with carved lettering on the front. Inside. it is seeth- ing with activity. Hundreds of typewriters are tapping out pages and pages of copy. One typist who turns out a hundred pages a minute shows a startling resemblance to Garret Van Belle In another room a neat efficient look mg young woman fjust a little on the plump sidej s speaking crisply through the telephone at a desk marked City Editor Could it be Joyce WllSOHD In the sports department we Find Bill Freeman and Dale Spaulding no less giving orders wildly as they attempt to disen tangle themselves from thousands of feet of sports copy And there sits Hemi Kessler at a huge desk labeled Fea ture Editor Now to the editorial room where we find Tom Stout approving or CllS8ppI'OVlng of all the copy En termg a door marked Managing Editor we expect to find a gruff looking man with his feet on the desk and a cigar in his mouth But no not that at all its Kay Hood look ing as young and sweet as ever She is talking to the head photographer sure nuf it s good old Jeep Williams From the top of a long flight of metal steps we look down into the great print shop At the near end rows of lmotypists are setting up type while farther on enormous rollers are running off papers by the millions Verna Brum baugh is apparently chief lmotypist while Bob Taylor Doug Raab Tom Fitzgerald Harry Kopel George Fields and Gordon Jones are bobbing here and there among the great machines Dizzy with the noise of it we reel back up and across a hall fairly tumbling into a sanctum guarded by a for bidding looking ofhce girl Are you looking for the business manager9 she deigns to ask in tones of ice Im afraid Mr Hitchcock cant see you And just then we hear Buds voice in stentorian tones berating Dick Benson for soliciting more ads than he has room for What is this great thriving newspaper that has landed so many Ann Arbor High School alumni? Lets go out side and look at those big carved letters over the door and see Hmmmm The Optimist it reads So Ann Arbor High s four page sheet has become the leading paper of the country' And its all due to the efficiency of the staff of 1941 49 . , - .4 . . ., . . . . .
