Kay. l oud-en back. The Annual Staff held its meetings every Thursday at 4 o’clock. Let’s look through the camera lens at one of their past meetings. We find everything very informal and pleasant, and it resembles a photographer’s studio. In the studio we find the head photographer (or editor), Jimmy Raglan, who supervises the work with the aid of his assistant, Margaret Winzenburger. At this time they are helping the class reporters, Ethel Fuqua, Bill Hendrix, Ruby Fuqua, and Mary Redman, arrange their work .just as you arrange the setting for a picture. The club reporters, Dorothy Bruce and Robert Driskill, are showing the typists, Mary Brandenburg and Bud Warner, how to arrange their material, while Betty Doty and Fred Lux are catching every detail to put into their feature section. The sports writers, George Loudenback and Charles Ray, are like photographers ready to snap pictures. When they begin to work, nothing bothers them. Mary Conlin and Ralph Rose have just sold another annual. They are trying their best, also. It is now 5 o’clock, so everything is put away, and everyone is laughing and joking as they leave the building. Page Eighteen

...NEWS STAFF On any Tuesday morning during the year, you could hear the clicking of the typewriter in the English room. If you were to have gone in, you would find them preparing their weekly newspaper which was printed in a section of the Bement Register. Everyone was supposed to be at the meeting by 8:15. Naturally, a few were always a little late, getting personals or finding out the score of the game we had won the night before. The material had to be completed by 9 o’clock. This included writing the articles and checking through them for errors of any kind. After this was completed, the adviser, Miss Houston, the editor of the paper, or her assistant checked it through for sentence construction and misspelled words. Then if everything was perfect, the words were counted to be sure that all of the alloted space in the paper was filled. At the end of the third hour the business manager took the material to the Register office, and at 4 o’clock the other business manager and the editor went up to proof-read. Although their work wasn’t easy, the members of the staff were well rewarded by the joy they derived from seeing their articles in print. First Row: Probus, Oonlin. Brandenburg;. Winzen burger.
