JUDITH SEEBORG Editor BOB KENDALL Advertising Manager MARION SORENSEN Business Manager Jsf0r Post, pumalism Class • • • With the words, Where is your story? ringing in their ears, Adviser Miss Fern Curry, Editor Judith Seeborg, Assistant Editor Mary Williams, and the Astor Post staff look back on a year full of nerve wracking dead lines and fun in putting out the paper. To give instruction in publishing a paper and to help those who plan to continue journalism in college, a journalism class with credits was organized for the second year. The bulk of the Astor Post work was done by the class members, but credit must also be given those Flunkies who stayed to help put the paper to bed on deadline days. On February 26, the class adopted a soldier, Hannibal. To supply him with food Miss Curry and each student bought fifty cents worth of war stamps each week. When Bob Kendall, advertising manager, entered college in January, Miss Anna Marie Friedrich, business adviser, and the adver¬ tising department were handicapped. Marion Sorenseri, business man- ager, and Harry Sorensen, assistant advertising manager, helped out with the oid of on ombitious group of Sophomores A hard working and generous business staff made it possible to dress up the pages with an unusual number of photographs and a comic strip A bouquet should be given Charlotte Johnson for the art work and Wayne Saiget for the photographs. fourteen editions, the Astor Post staff spon- sored a Sixth War Loan drive, netting $6,094.85, and held a March of Dimes dance, yielding $45 to the Infantile Paralysis drive 12

Mtor Post Page Assistants ... swing into action With Editor Judith Seeborg leading the way, the Astor Post page editors and their assistants put the final thirty on the year ' s publi¬ cation, the Senior edition. Because of the efforts of a wide awake jaurnalism class, this years ' issues of the Astor Post were marked by a distinct improvement in the quality of material, the make-up, and in the general organization. More emphasis was placed on the Junior High page. To brighten up this section. Editor Joyce Kleger used linoleum block cuts. In the spring term a comic strip was added. Thanks to the efforts of Char¬ lotte Johnson. The traditional gossip column was successfully eliminated by Assistant Editor Mary Williams, who substituted various types of columns playing up peronalities. By request the Three L ' il Fishers were continued. For variety, however, in addition to silhouettes, block cuts and even photographs were used in this column. To add interest to stories of outstanding school events, photo¬ graphs taken of the various activities were a welcome addition to the front page. The Tournament issue, picturing the first string of the basketball team along with their baby pictures, accompanied by inter¬ views of the mothers, drew the greatest reader interest. The front page was further enlivened with interviews of notables such as Gov¬ ernor Snell and United States Senator Wayne Morse. ' When Bill Lausch found it necessary to resign as sports editor two journalism students Mary Lou Bakkensen, Senior, and Caroline Branthover, Junior, took over the responsibility. At midterm how¬ ever, Howard Reeher, Sophomore, became sports editor. Lm R Claivnce Larsen, Howard Rerhrr Lou Bakkensen. Caroline Brantyiover, June Seebori . ’ Ma rv 14
