Such things did not diminish the en- thusiasm of the editors, however, and they waited eagerly until the actual printing of the book began, and they could make daily trips to the printers. As more and more sections were completed, with the pictures carefully pasted on their spaces, with a p generous amount of paste smeared around the edges, and captions flapping under every picture, and the copy for each page numbered and re-numbered to avoid any mistakes, it became necessary for the editors to become experienced proof readers. VVhether to check the omis- sion of a comma or an and, when it meant a change in line-up of an entire line, or even paragraph, was a question that came up far too often to suit those in charge of the check-up. HTO be, or not to be,', was the slogan of those harassed beings, as they had to decide time and time again as to the importance of certain words or phrases in a paragraph, when the copy extended too far towards the bottom of the page. As the strips of galley came off the presses at the North American Press, it was necessary to check and re-check against errors, to add words, or subtract words, in order that the page be the required length, to acquire a tenacious memory so that when the question arose as to whether a name was spelled with an ein or an ie , it could be settled then and there, and corrected. When the copy had been set up, and came off the presses in huge sheets, the actual cutting of pages and binding together of pages and cover followed-the second last Ubridgen had been crossed! After the color-scheme for the cover had been decided, and the materials selected, it was still neces- sary to choose the 'fend-pages , those colored pages between the cover and the actual material. XYavering hncertainly between choosinga creamy ivory or any other color in the spectrum, those in charge of the Annual remained undecided until the last possible moment, when they finally selected what you now see. This momentous decision over, the advisors waited anxiously for the completed flnnntzl to see how the hnished product compared with that in their imagination. It compared most fav- orably. .Xnd now the book is yours. XVHo's A DUNCE? Unwzafmd PAGE 19

Robert Kaller, Editor-in-Chief, Semester I The Newspaper Come 011, Eolksg right this way. See the greatest side show ever presented to any audience. Right this way,'l cried the barker amid the blare of the East Indian side show band as the curtain opened upon the Oracle newspaper rally which swung under way Vllednesday, September 26, 1934, in the auditorium. f'Right this way, folks. The show begins in a minute,' continued Robert Kaller, the editor-in- chief of the official bi-weekly publication of the Bay View High.School. The audience was literally taken inside the big tent, and the East Indian Side Show, an original production, was staged by Miss De la Huntls fifth hour speech class, assisted by Mr. J. Smith's salesmanship classes, the art department, and the school band. Following the show, Bob Kaller dropped his role as the barker, spoke to the audience as the editor-in-chief of the Oracle, and introduced the associate editors, Josephine Roberts and Earl Heiseg the literary editor, Alice Enders, the sports editor, Ray Oddoneg and the circulation manager, Clyde March. After a busy week of campaigns, Clyde March, assisted by Gilbert Bruder, announced the success of the rally, and the work of the 1934-35 Oracle began in earnest. Many changes were made in the organization of the staff. Warren Service, news editor of the Oracle during the first semester of 1933, passed away on June 27, following a long illness. Ted Gates was appointed news editor in his place, and Jack O'Laughlin became assistant sports editor. New staff positions were o-pened, and Dolores Stintl and Leo-ra Gilder became the club editors. Mary Ramage was named the alumni editor. K'West-Wood Shavings and Double You and Ditto, the two new humor columns were placed in the hands of Williani Weistphal and Houston Woo-d. After a meeting of the Oracle Advisory staff consisting of Mr. Costello, Miss Durham, Mr. Korn, Miss Landwehr, Miss Pierson, Miss Roberts, Mrs. Royal, Mr. Smith, Miss Steel, and Miss Zarling, the plans for a single staff were announced and instead of the two- staffs of last semester working on alternate issues, one staff was formed to work on every issue. Line books and rating cards were introduced. Each reporter was required to clip all of his published material and mount it in a scrap book. The advisors began a system of rating cards which contain a record of punctuality, dependability, and the general worth of stories. These records govern the pro- motions on the Oracle staff and election to Quill and Scroll, National Honorary Society of High School journalists. Witness a typical Friday, half past four! Every one in the Oracle office is busy. The stenographers, Marjorie Sanfo-rd, Regina Neitzel, Mary Karas, Goldie Krisberg, Vivian - Riemann, and -lane Kubiak, headed by Ade- line Dzikiewicz, stop every once in a while to rest their tired lingers after hours of Earl H else, Editor-in-Chief, Semester II PAGE 21 L....C .,1.,,., Roland Tfwirzem, Ass't Business Manager Arthur U mbs, Business Manager
