tliy ujotid to- eo-elif, cbeatutie Working close alongside the annual stall, we line! those boys in charge ol the publica¬ tion of the school paper also known as “ I he Crusader ’ The two groups aid each other in many ways—swapping ideas, stories, and cuts. Many occasions found the yearbook and paper editors working side by side, dis¬ cussing problems common to both publica¬ tions. Serving as Editor-in-Chief of the paper is Bill Thehus, a member ol Senior A. While serving as editor of the entire publication, Bill’s chief problem is the front page. The paper occupies much ol his time, but he still holds down an after-school job as lilting station attendant. The second page comes under the capable management ol Wally Drone, Feature Editor. Wallv lias put many a good editorial in Ins lour years as a member of the staff. He has helped the paper along financially by origin¬ ating the selling of hot dogs during noon- hour. Norm Meder reigns over the third page, under the official title of Spirts Editor. Norm is very interested in spirts, serving as co-cap¬ tain of the Crusaders on the diamond, and is one of the leaders in the C.H.S. Bowling League. Norm’s size keeps him from football and basketball but he keeps up with the games through his writings on the sports page under the title of Norm’s News. The Sports Editor has a lot of difficulties with deadlines because of the necessity of covering last minute games. The Management Editor, Bob Semmelroth, finds the fourth page occupying most ol his time, f fe is usually scurrying around, hunting up small bits of news to fill in the empty spaces here and there.
