Planning an initial layout, scheduling pictures, cropping anrl proportioning the pictures to fit the pages ot' the book. identifying individual and group pictures, and writing copy for each page are some of the tasks facing an an' nual literary staff.

The Super Salesman! gn-f-an tx 'raft of selling the animals themselves. These duties are performed by a separate busi- ness staff, whose job it was to raise the 551200 budget necessary to produce this annual.

This is the first year for the SPARTA STAR, and like all news- papers, she had her troubles. There were deadlines to meet: articles to be read, typed, and sent to the printer. Many copies were sent to other schools and servicemen. The SPARTA STAR is run much the same as any other newspaper.
