Dixini Editors Reporters often thought that they were slaves to Dixini editors, especially when they were behind in their assignments and the editors had to probe them, Is your story ready to hand in? Fred Gonnerman, John Heindel, Mary Joan Gibson, Frances Lahey, Diane Johnson, Marlene Ward, Pauline Heckman, Anne Arnould, and Laura Rhodes were reporters during the first semester. Several juniors were also added to the staff. During the first semester the page editor had to write a majority of the articles since there was such a shortage of reporters. Also, assistant page editors were taken from their pages to write stories for other parts of the paper. Reporters added to the original staff for the second semester were Donna McPher- son, Shirley Middleton, David Lutzweiler, Nancy Long, Stanley Scholl, Jackie Lampman, Carolyn Foster, Jim Fox, and Mary Jayne Beach. Advertising manager Peg Burgard and her assistant, Miriam Rapp, transacted the business of the advertising departments. Their staff in- cluded Charlotte Jones, Catherine Hockman, Lois Gilmore, and Gail Ogan. Seventy-two inches of ads appeared in each Dixini to help ensure the success of the paper. The advertis- ing staff of the Dixini gained valuable training in salesmanship and persuasion. Two departments became active when the Dixinis were returned to the school and were ready to be circulated. Circulation manager John Jones delivered the Dixini to school on Thursday. Then, the manager together with Peg Burgard, Miriam Rapp and Renie Atkinson pre- pared the papers for each homeroom and sent Dixinis to subscribers in other towns. Anne Arnould, exchange editor for the Dixini, filed all of the exchange papers which came from other schools. These papers furnished many interesting articles for the Dixini. 30
