Chester High School - Ravelings Yearbook (North Manchester, IN)

Staff The staff of the 1942 Ravelings was elected early last fall by the senior class. The problem facing the staff was to create a different kind of book and stay within a limit- ed budget. Students responded to an increase of ten cents in the price of the book and subscribed nearly IOOQ. Marietta Metzger, in charge of advertising, conducted some clever sales stunts. Billy Runkel won a contest guessing the number of beans in a jar and was awarded a free book. The staff wishes to express gratitude to Mr. Gerald Miller, who gave much of his valuable time to taking and retaking pictures. Librarians Miss Zimpelmann chooses reliable students from the three upper grades to be li- brarians. They keep the shelves arranged neatly and check out library books and maga- zines for the students. They also try to help the students in using the reference books. Another one of their duties is to supply the steady stream of seniors with government books. Row Monitors Each morning and noon we saw twelve students rise from their seats in the back of the study hall and scan the row for missing students. ln the fall when study hall seats were assigned, these twelve students were made responsible for checking daily attend- ance. Other duties of the monitors were to pass out typed notices from the office, report cards, and song sheets used in the Wednesday morning chapel exercises. Qffice Assistants p During the year six students have been employed in high school by the support of NYA. Verl Steller is general patrol boy at all evening school programs. Allan Shultz and Edith Smith have charge of the sale of defense stamps. Dorcas Frederick and Deloris Kester are office assistants who have done most of the school typing and mimeographing. Jean Kissinger is an office assistant who sells supplies, answers the telephone and takes messages.
