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 -

“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.

“With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making my community a safer and more beauti- ful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete.” The preceding is the creed accepted by the girls in the Sunshine Society not only at Calu- met, but in all the high schools in Indiana. In addition to the creed, the 60-61 members of the society accepted this years theme, “Sunshine soars in the sixties.” And such an appropriate theme it is. The Sunshine girls at Calumet have co- operated in helping those less fortunate than themselves throughout the year, sponsoring a king and queen campaign to raise money for the annual polio drive, and offering a $400 scholar- ship to a senior girl planning to go into nursing. Surely the girls have fulfilled their theme and their motto which is “others”. Discussing some new activities for the Sunshine Society to perform in future months are the officers: Susan Suchar, secretary; Barbara Lockhart, treasurer; Janet Harms, vice-president; and Kathaleen Shaw, president. From Charitable Sunshine Sunshine Society Initiation was a big event to all the girl’s who joined at the beginning of the year. No doubt remembering their own installation just last year, these Sunshine girls induct other members into the club. - 30 -
