THE ANNUAL STAFF LEARNED THE PUBLISHING BUSlNESS Publishing the Keyhole was an all-year every-day activity. From the time the book was planned by Betty Watts and Caro- lyn Lincks at l. U. summer school, until the last piece of copy went to press in April, work went on steadily. Bette Pelkin and Helen Freund scheduled senior photos and made up pages, Sue Schoenemann was responsible for iuniors, Joan Bothwell, for sophomores, and Carolyn Wells for freshmen. Norman Young planned the sports section of the book, Shirley Engleman wrote the rest of it. Bill Tobias took all the pictures that L. S. Ayres had not photographed, Jim Helter, Carl Rudicle, Don Beasley and Betty Watts sold ads. Everyone helped on the various projects such as candy sales, valentine deliveries, Hillbilly Hop, and sale of mums at games. Patsy Taylor, Ruby Costelow, and Dixie Markin helped collect circulation money. By the middle of April, the staft relaxed. But already another group had started work on the l952-53 annual. ,J l.

T ,-, ' o .4 U, x -.1 0 -F.. THE NEWSPAPER STAFF MET DEADLINES Room 206 was one of the busiest, happiest and noisiest rooms in the building. Spotlight and Keyhole staffs shared a totally inadequate small room with English iV classes. Something was always getting lost, good-natured heckling and arguments went on constantly, but a great deal was learned about running a business, working on one's own initiative, getting along with other people, meeting a deadline, and accepting responsibility for one's mistakes. 24 FIRST SEMESTER STAFF Standing: Ronald Faulk- ner, ancl Mrs. Kathleen Keilman, Advisor. Seated: Charlene Bald- win, Pat Dugger, Carole Hart, Bill Hollingsworth, Robert Montgomery, and Charles Baker. SECOND SEMESTER STAFF Standing: Bill Tobias and Don Beasley.

Stage Managers Contributed to Success of Daily Programs ill' ig 'E l i Behind the scenes of any production, there are stage managers who do much to promote the smooth functioning of that performance. They do an important part of the work, but seldom share the spotlight. Our stage managers fstudent assistantsl are pictured on the follow- ing pages. The olfice crew did small jobs, from delivering messages to typing honor rolls, gaining valuable experience that will be helpful in later office work. Some actors lstudentsl may have gone through high school with- out entering the clinic, but not all of them held up so well. Anytime anyone felt ill or needed first aid, the clinic girls were ready to help. Our research department llibraryl was very popular with the actors. Themes for new programs lclassesl and material for leisure reading were all found there in systematic order. 26
