l., T ,Q ANNUAL STAFF Publishing a newspaper during war and using material to alleviate the cares of those readers engrossed in this conflict was a duty which fell to the journalism class, taught by Miss Gertrude Kirtland, who experienced her tenth year as B. H. S. Life sponsor. Page editors were appointed in September and have changed during the year: These editors as- signed material to reporters and outlined their page dummies which served as patterns for the make-up man at the Daily Call, printers of each issue. The first month of school was spent in acquainting students with leads, news coverage, editorials, and news, sports, and feature stories. The first issue rolled from the press, Sept. 29. Writing faults were detected, and were amended accordingly in following issues at two weeks inter- vals. Six issues were rinted the first semester i-1 ..- Particular stress was placed on the war effort with stories on war bonds and stamps, scrap drives, tire, gas, shoe and food rationing, model plane building, defense trades, paper campaign, physical fitness, taxes, and the armed forces. Several scoops were spied and printed. On two occasions when all copy was at the printer and being set up, a Troyite was shot in a hunting accident. Athletics cavorted on the fourth page-football, basketball, and track. The Beloit Regional Basketball Tournament cap- tured page 1 prominence. After a heated senior class meeting, the jour- nalism class accepted the duty of editing the 1943 Trojan. Work formally began on Feb. 22, and each class member crammed all spare time towards year- book production for the remainder of the semester. Faced with a time shortage, they pulled into a stretch with this twenty-two page Trojan-a book written and printed for everybody's enjoyment. p .... four 15 in. by 10 in. pages in each, except the initial publication which had a two-page insert. Nearly every. issue had a Scholastic Roto insert which was edited by the National Scholastic Press Association. weak 3 lacy ' we 1 geo wwe wfgo naw ,A W' ov., 90 5960 aoxbto ' . 1'8- gtoqqexws 5939600 6v,a'f1X5l1q.a'XX9 Y we 02602 NWS -We 050 'S-W twb- qu?
