Although Gerry Schurman and Sue Bliss don't hold editor's positions, their work is just as important. Without the ads that Sue sells, the Highlander would have little income. Many an hour is spent on the phone or uptown arranging for inches and signing contracts. As one of the production staff, Gerry runs the headliner machine. 1 . ,pgimv Students publish paper As the deadline nears, the Highlander press room is like most other newspaper press rooms. To the out- sider, it looks like confusion reigns, but it is the end of a well organized system of steps beginning with the assignment of stories and ending with the delivery of the papers to classes. Working on a two week cycle, assignments are made every other Monday. The press room is quiet for a while, but paper flies as journalism I's sweat out their stories. The noise really begins when IBM machines start clicking, people yell to be heard, and frantic efforts are made to get everything in the right place at the right time. When the last piece of copy is finally pasted down and the printer comes to pick up the pages, the staff can breathe a sigh of relief and rest up for the next two week round. The circulation staff takes over when the papers arrive, and handles the mammoth job of stuffing and counting classroom-bound papers, and wraps those to be mailed to alumni and exchange schools. 4Even with three editors. checking and rechecking must be done so that nothing will be overlooked. John Hill and Anne Bauer take care of the front page and editorial page while Tom Burgum sees that the third page is in order. With a twofold job of ad manager for the Piper and busi- ness manager for both publications, Bill Ellis has very few free moments. His biggest rush is in January when the Piper ads are sold and pictures are taken. V S . -ai -1, 1

ill 'i Ink, Type, film are used Printing is a part of the general education course and is designed like a job shop in which students can learn the basic fundamentals of the printing industry Equipping the shop are an offset press which is capable of producing 6000 copies an hour, three platen presses a hydraulic paper cutter, an exposure frame a power stitcher, proof press, and Jogger With these facilities students can do almost any prmtmg Job, such as the scheduling manual graduation pro gram, activity tickets, football programs, and the insert pages of The Hzghlander Printing, then, is not only an interesting and useful course for its students but is a valuable addition to the school and community as well 4Sett1ng type for printing may sound easy but actually is quite difficult since copy must be set to read backwards Each letter must be picked out of its place in the case and set in the composing stick Here Bill Corrill sets type for one of the many school printing jobs Operators of offset presses receive excellent pay in adult life and rn Seaholms printing department boys are given an opportunity to learn a little about the lithography trade Jim Bram checks the printed copies of a school form while John Rogosky regulates the supply of ink on the offset press Y I f . 9 a , . 5 i , - i'UM 1 ,, 3 n . . . . .
