For the enlightment of those who do not know, it was the meeting of some of the mem- bers of the Senior Class who publish the 1940 Tiger. Each year a group of seniors is chosen to pub- lish the Elkins High School annual under the tute- lage of Miss Digman, the yearbook adviser. The staff is selected according to their literary, artistic, and business ability for the respective positions of editors, artists, and business managers. The first work to be done in the production of an annual is to lay out a dummy, which is a picture of the book as the staff visualizes it. Next the in- dividual and group pictures are taken, and then the artistic work is done. Selection of a cover and the type of print are two of the most important duties delegated to this group. During the second semester the important and difficult task of compiling, composing, criticizing, and completing the copy for the printer must be accomplished. When the proofs are returned to the Tiger tail staff, they must be proofread and returned again to the printer. In May the finished issue of the Tiger comes off the press and is presented to the school. The work in Tiger Staff is difficult and exact- ing, but students interested in this type of work find it enjoyable. The experience in laying out an annual and in writing copy proves very helpful in later life. In Ianuary the Tiger Staff used its assembly program as a means of launching the Tiger Sub- scription Drive. A skit, The Tiger Staff in Action, was presentedg and then the three editors explained the plan of the book and the entire campaign. When the last proofreading was done and the final copy was sent out, the Tiger Staff breathed a sigh of relief and settled back in anticipation of the final copy. Here it is. YVe are proud of it, and hope you are too. Ilsnnv Hnurzrar. NATALIE TYR1: MARTHA BARRETT WILLIAMS Editors
