YE OLDE PANTHER STAFF You are probably all wondering who was responsible for this Panther of 1940. You have noticed us in the halls, since we were those tired, worried, pre-occupied looking souls who were carrying piles and piles of bulky books, messy papers, and dull pencils. We were also the high-pressure salesmen for the year book of ' 40. A skit, entitled Order Your Panther Now or Future Famous Faces on File for Further Fun , written by Kathleen Walt, was put on by us to enliven the campaign to sell annuals. Although ten years were added to our lives, we are happy to present this yearbook to you; and we wish all the seniors of next year the same fun, sorrows, and wrinkled brows that we have had in putting out this, Little book of memories. Filled with sorrow and with cheer. And may it just grow grander With each succeeding year. Page 24

With a view in mind to publish the best school paper, we made many changes in the paper at the beginning of this year. A new heading was designed by Mike Walt. Folded paper and the blocked type were other changes that were made. The paper made it a policy to support and advertise all school activities — basketball games, sale of the Panther, school plays, etc. In an effort to make it an all-around school newspaper, some of our clever writers wrote human-interest and feature stories to enliven the paper. One of the members of the staff took the pen name of Elaine Auburn and wrote an entertaining feature on redheads. The joke column this year concerned amusing things that had happened to the students here in school. At the beginning of the year the class elected Maxine DeHoff editor-in- chief. Mike Walt has served as art editor and sports editor. Ruth Whonsetler became joke editor and James Ross exchange editor. Reporters were Mary Jane Crothers, Kathleen Walt, Lois Huelsenbeck, Catherine Huff, Betty Schaefer, and Dolores Stonestreet. The sponsor of the paper was Miss DeHoff.
