Stenographer Snappy shot hunter Bobby Doine, representative of the Camera Club which takes, develops, and prints all pictures for the front page of the Oracle under the supervision of Mr. Kyper, caught a glimpse of him from the other end of the hall. Grabbing the tripod in one hand, a plate in the other, he was off in a bound- Hold it,-thank you , he called, putting to good use the tips he had received from successful Jones at Pickles ractice. P Did you get the new subscription manager? demanded Gilbert Czarnecki and Ed Pionkowski, buddy columnists, suddenly appearing on the scene from the depths of no-man's land. Clyde March's the name-don't miss him -and they were off to put their heads together about their latest discovery, What'll lend the Kolyum some spirit . While Doine collected accessories preparatory to a sprint after March, sports editor Barney Olszyk rounded the corner. Hold on , he called, as Doine tucked the last plate under his arm. Find that track cut of Blackwood and Pionkowski? They want to use it in this Friday's --were the last words which escaped him, with the exception of a long drawn oh-. Kaspar, galloping head on, had upset Doine and had neatly sort- ed all accessories. Awful sorry , called Kaspar over his shoulder, disappearing into the office with redoubled speed. As Doine was pulling his various parts together, Bob Kaller and Warren Service arrived on the scene of carnage.

PAGE 14 SO, the wheels of the Oracle were set agog once more! The students were to have the experience and fun of living the part of real newspaper workers, writers, organizers, and business administrators for one more year. Again the Commercial and English departments would be more than books and routine. One more year of carbon-stained fingers, news noses, and flying reporters in Bay View. Those highly competent ad solicitors, Marcella Kuhr, Ethel Fritz, Florence Fredricks, and Ruth Brunk-billing clerks, Helen Hrynie- wiecki and Edith Medved-bookkeepers, Mary Gardetto and Blanche Jastrow-stenographers, Anne Walutke- vicz, Anna Lunkiewicz, Audrey Thompson, Lorraine Blank, and Eva Wellman-and mailing Clerk Chester Budny were to keep their jobs after all. Promptly at eight the next morning, the Oracle office assumed its normal aspect with Doss raring to go and registering enough surplus pep to tackle every Bay View merchant personally. As he rounded the corner, he came upon Evelyn Schubert and Lorraine Blank. Hy, Evie-Lorryu, he called. First,', he added as he slid to the door of the Oracle office. But, no, he was doomed to disappointment. There sat Anna Lunkiewicz already lost in her Spanish book. Throughout the remainder of the day, typists, assigned to ofhce duty through exceptional skill displayed in class work, invaded this busy domain in one hour shifts. They were usually joined by editors and news writers during the first and sixth hours. Functioning in this manner, this corps of workers sent proof to press and distributed Oracle newspapers to customers every week throughout the entire semester. In February, however, a number of vital armatures were loosened from this free wheeling machine. Ruth Rehm was transferred from the Oracle newspaper to the Annual and Harriet Roloff graduated. A quick ad- justment was necessary to carry the increased load of subscriptions. Kathryn Gilbert switched to the associate editorship and Robert Kaller and Dolores Stark, two promising cub reporters, became news editors. Life and Oracle work resumed its steady onward course. Al continued to leave his old derby on the shelf in the office, the old tin tuba still barred the entrance to the one copy desk, and the non-shatter glass on the cupboard doors continued to stand up in spite of twenty Jane Degas. One day in early March the wind suddenly shifted from the east to direct north. Bob Kaller's sensitive news nose instantly recording the change, Bob fairly flew up the four flights between Miss Alcottls room, short,' headquarters of Miss Robert's staff, and the Oracle office. Idea!', he yelled, somewhat breathless, before he had even half-opened the office door. He was coldly greeted by the half-finished remains of Arthur Kaspar's lunch. Shucks , he half muttered, his spirits somewhat lowered by this unsavory welcome. That's right: noon-hour, lunch, and then either the printer or parade, but maybe I can get Miss Roberts if she hasn't al- ready embarked on her famous 'hall duty' , and he slammed the door behind him, off for the second floor. Bob had no more than rounded the row of lockers bordering the office than Doss, still a business mana- ger, dashed into the hall from a late conference with Mr. J. Smith on ads. After confirming his opinion on Evie Schubert's and Lorrie Blank's ever more wayward ways by one peep into the Oracle office, he began to run up and down, here and there, in a frenzy, calling, Typist, typist . Charles Ullenberg, Subscription Manager. Chester Budny, Mailing Clerk. Lorraine Blank, Stenographer. Audrey Thompson, Stenographer. Evelyn Schuberi, Oflice Manager.

Fell flat-something like that last inspiration of yours , ventured Warren. During the brief interval which followed, Arthur Kaspar stuck his head out of the office door long enough to enquire whether Miss Alcott had completed the interview story. The Press Club's handling all interviews this semester, with their adviser, Mr. Nelson , corrected Bob, advancing toward the oflice. Upon entering, he spied the other news editor, Dolores Stark, who was off in one corner with a cross-word puzzle. Then it was that the last thrust of the year was made: That's the last of the puzzles for you, young lady . Next year Bob and I shall put you to work . Dolores did not parry the remark. The office crew sauntered out, the door closed and a few minutes later a June zephyr looked in- quiringly in at the south window. Who would be her playmates next year-she wondered, as she fluttered out to accompany the staff of 1932353 down the Lenox Street hill. Alf',Ytll1tIt'f PojJr x Q'The Rape of the Lock was re-enacted many times in the Oracle office. The leading roles were played by Harriet Zieman and Albert Doss. flrflrzzr Peek always had a slick hair-comb and a neat appearance for those seventh hours with his short-i hand student. Kathryn Gilbert always wanted to file the Oracle cuts so that they would be easier to find. She's system- atie. Seeing is not necessarily believing, ae- cording to Robert Kaller. The printer wanted to show him type lice, but Bob felt there was some contamination in it and never consented. Now he,s dying to know. Has anyone a pencil he can lend me? was Albert Doss's theme song. Whenever someonels pencil was missing. Albert was the one who vias hoarding it. SWEET EssENcE OP-
