“61” Staff Works Hard “Roll the press!” is a newspaper phrase that rings in the ears of the newspaper staff on the days of ‘The Warrior ' publication. It’s one of the many phrases that will haunt these staff mem- bers the rest of their lives. It takes a lot of talent and hard work to put out a school paper and these students prove it. They can always be seen with notebook and pen- cil in hand, busily getting a story, madly typing away, proof reading, retyping or trying to meet the deadline. Then they have to lay out the paper, page by page, write all cutlines, figure out the headlines, and finally “put the paper to bed” which means a whole day spent at the printers, then distributing them to all classes. But when the hard work is done and the last paper is dis- tributed, they sit back, kick off their shoes and relax until the editor yells “get that story, now”, and all is back to normal— confusion and hard work prevails once more. “The paper must go to press! And to make sure it does Jackie White, editor of the Warrior, works hard to meet her dead- lines. “One, two, three,”— that ' s what might be heard from Mona Valencia as she counts the units of a headline for “The Warrior.” Fashions, fashions, fashions! The girls at Calumet are quite inter- ested in fashions and thus JoAnn Murphy, fashion editor, must spend much time and hard work on the column.

Listening to the business of the Sr. Honor Society during a meeting are the junior and senior members. Goal Of C.H.S. Honor Societies. Officers, Roseann Schuster, president; Shirley Berdine, vice-presi- dent; Sharon Mason, treasurer; Gordon Ligocki, reporter; and not shown Bernadette Zenone, secretary; call the meeting to order. The object of the Ora C. Strycker chapter of the National Honor Society is to create an en- thusiasm for scholarships, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership and to encourage the development of character in the students of Calumet High School. Membership is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character, and an “A” or “B” in all subjects must be maintained. Any member who fell below the required standards was warn- ed and given a second chance. If, during the next nine weeks the member failed to meet the stand- ards, the Faculty Council voted and decided whether or not the member was to be dismissed. The Junior Honor Society, for eligible fresh- men and sophomores, sold Christmas candy for a scholarship for the senior who the members thought most worthy. The Senior Honor Society, for juniors and seniors, sold pennants and candy for their trea- sury. - 27 -

To Top “60” Record. Besides obtaining the advertisement from neighborhood busi- nesses, Elizabeth Wright, business manager, also sees that the layouts are not only correct but also where they will be most attractive. The greatest responsibility of a staff member is to meet the deadlines. Busily typing their stories for the paper are Venia Hatmaker and Brenda Scott, reporters. Joyce Nagy and Sandy Guthrie realize that two heads are better than one when it comes to writing newspaper copy. Machines as the typewriter and telephone are important in the process of any paper, as Irene Golden, feature editor; and Sandy Chancellor, news bureau editor demostrate. Correct operation of all photography equipment is essential for a photographer. Bill Shuey and Jim Conley, staff photo- graphers, test all equipment. - 29 -
