1? ,, . v SENIORS IN SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS The class of '31 has been fortunate in having a wide range of literary interests. Through the four publications that are sponsored by the Board of Publications it has enjoyed to the fullest extent the broadened horizon, attained while the class was in its junior year, which gave so many new and worth-while opportunities for the expression and development of literary talent. In the fall of '29 The Evanstoniann newspaper first appeared, accompanied as it was by doubts on the part of the staff that had been rather hastily pressed into service. 'KShall we be able to fill it? was a question often heard during those few weeks. First published every two weeks, the paper soon took up a weekly schedule, to which, except for vacations and examination periods, it has held ever since. Two juniors-Bill McKinnon and Everett Temple-edited the paper last year, the latter has continued as editor-in-chief for the year just passed, during which The Evanstonianu has been made a six-column paper, and other improvements have been instituted. 7 Senior members of the staff assisting the editor this year are I7 I 0 Margaret Ludlow, news editor, Ted Lundgren, assistant news editor, Buell Kenyon, sports editor, Helen Huehne, Vin- cent Ivarson, Lois Visscher, Betty Morse, Elizabeth Hardy, Fran- cis Heckler, Katherine Howard, Josephine Kelly, Peter Fell, and Lucille Tyler, reporters. Charles Fuller and Robert Bretall have served as editorial editors and Oliver Aspegren, as business manager. With the newspaper organized to present the current happenings of the school, the old Evanstonian was Converted into a strictly literary magazine. Two num- bers have been put out each year-one in the fall, and the other in the spring. The editors of the magazine staff are Dave Truman, Norman Smith, Dorothy Koch, Robert Bretall, Dick Trusdell, Claxton Howard, and Stanley Midgley. Senior members of the staff are Marjorie Avalon, Albert McPherrin, Jean McLelland, Phyllis Smith, Wil- liam Powell, Janet Wray, Anzonette Nicholas, and Mary Alice Toops. Dick McKnight and Jack Sullivan serve as business managers. An interesting variation of the literary magazine was tried out this year, in the form of a sixteen-page supplement to the newspaper. This was issued during the third quarter by the magazine staff, and was featured by two double pages of criticism, one on music and one on the drama. Perhaps the most distinctive of E. T. H. S. publications is Soft Pipes, a collec- tion of the year's best student verse, reprinted from the newspaper, magazine, and literary supplement. Last June, in particular, the edition of 150 copies formed a unique volume, illustrated with woodcuts and containing the signature of each writer repre- sented, and this year the make-up follows the same general plan. Members of the class who have distinguished themselves in the writing of verse are Marjorie Avalon, Dorothy Koch, Cornelia Pace, D. Cameron Peck, John O. Bearden, and Audrey Benton. Early in the fall the senior class voted upon the leading staff members of the Year Book-editor, art editor, and business manager. ' The choices of the class were Bill McKinnon, Alden Smith, and Jack Sullivan, respectively. These chose as their assistants: David Tru- man, associate editor, Rachel Kincaid and John Huggett, assistant art editorsg and Claxton Howard, Arthur Allyn, and Roger Sher- man, assistant business managers. Work on the annual was begun early in the year. Because it has enjoyed literary opportunities never before offered at E. T. H. S., the class of '31 numbers among its members those who have in this field of endeavor felt the thrill of achievement. And it may be that noted and inspiring careers will prove to have had their inception in the many hours spe-nt in Room 219 or in 1395 yet these hours have 'already given their chiefest joy, the glow of accomplishment has repaid them manifold.

I The Towers HEN first I view the spires of rny school At early inorn against a sky of gray, The thoughts of castles far away do rule, Of knights on quests, and yighting for a day, I long to have heen horn in Arthur,s reign, To have a castle hy a foainy sea, With woods surrounding it just filled with game For hunting, fishing, riding-all for nie. Nothing to worry over any tiine, But just to eat and sleep when I desire, And call a seop if I do wish a rhyme, And throw iny own, if had, into the pre, But to drive a ear or read a hook would he Beyond my period in history.
