LEYDEN EYE May I have the Annual Staff members in my Home Room?” begged Miss Maloney early in the fall. Rut tin book isn't out until June you say. Well, without the careful supervision of production and finance by Miss Maloney and Mr. Wadsworth. and co-operation of interested students through the year, the book wouldn't be out in June. Hetty Jean Watson served as editor-in-chief with the able assistance of Betty Graber as photographic editor; Harold Mortensen, production manager; Richard Doss, layout edition; and Marjorie Michels, copy editor. The business manager was Charlotte Hernstrom. Of course it was our desire to produce the best book Leyden has had,- to aid in that we knew we needed expert advise- so to the convention! The State High School Press Convention in Lrbana, inspired our young staff with ambition and determination. Round table discussions helped develop a definite progress of ideas. 11 w as LEYDEN EYE STAFF M. Enger E. McNamara I). Philip I). Doss E. Kotlow R. Graber M. Michels J. Merrill L. Sanderlin L.

Long hours in room 26 after the other students and teachers had gone home seemed justifiable after the day spent down at the Engraving Plant. The big prints from Root’s Studio were so good, we were often tempted to go over our budget. Since expansion” was the topic most thoueht about, the staff also felt the urge to expand something as a result note the eight extra pages. LEYDEN ITE Inspiration, inspiration, please come to me. To-night is the dead line for my article and Miss Rausch is going to be very perturbed if I don t get it in. Twenty ambitious students chasing here and there for a last minute story, a scoop or inavbe even a head line that’s the Leydenite staff. They work hard to publish our school paper twice monthly and Miss Rausch, Miss Miller, and Miss Davis give much of their time in lending a hand to the cause. Rut all work and no play isn't good for anyone so to remedy this situation the staff has given several parties. Eventful among them were the Christmas party its pot-luck supper.” ami the springtime jubilee. THE LEYDENITE STAFF R. Debus (Editor) 11. Burchard R. Greene E. Malenius L. Draper M. Dolan R. Miller P.
