SCROLL STAFF Ads! Ads! Ads! and more ads. This is the cry of the first group. They scurry about for ads and then set them up to the satisfaction of their ad- vertisers. In the second picture it seems as though the reporters are cluttering up the office, so anxious are they to hand in their stories. The department to blame if your paper is late or doesn't arrive at all is the circulation depart- ment, Which counts out the papers and handles their distribution. Those ambitious girls in the fourth picture are looking for mistakes in the proofs of the paper. Blame this department for any hideous spellings you find. Here are those especially popular people who collect your activity fee. Keeping track of where the cash comes from and goes is the job of the bookkeepers. At the typewriters are the smiling secretaries, who type the copy for the printer. Standing are the exchange editors who exchange our papers with other school papers. Down at the bottom we see the Editors in a huddle over the dummies. Theirs is the prob- lem of Where to put which news. This folio of four pages, happy Work Which not e'en critics criticise. Cowper

LITERARY COMM. PHOTOGRAPHY COMM. BUSINESS AND SALES COMM. ART AND ADVERTISING ENTIRE STAFF PLANS THE BOOK Books are the legacies that genius leaves to mankind, to be delivered down from generation to generation, are presents to those that are yet unborn. -Addison THE ANNUAL STAFF AT WORK From the first school day in September until the last Week in Iune the Annual Staff is kept in a hustle and bustle of Work and Worry. In September other annuals are carefully studied, for the styles change here, as Well as in hats. Next, all the pictures, Write-ups, features, etc., desired in the Log are listed. Conferences are held With the photographer, engraver and printer to decide just how much of this may be included in our Log and still keep within the budget. Then the various committees are formed. The Literary group searches for data on the Seniors, clubs and classes, writing, typing, copy and proofreading this rnaterialea long, tedious job. Business and Sales groups plan their campaign for making the school An- nual conscious, and plan Ways to raise money to pay for the engraving. Planning the schedule for the photographer is the job of the photography group which takes, ar- ranges, identifies pictures and snaps you when you are not looking. The art staff works out the art sections to fit the theme of the book. The Weary advertising committee seeks advertisers in every nook and corner. And then the entire staff leaps in, to sort and distribute its precious Workethe Log, long about the Week before school closes, gathers up the bills, pays them and sighs with relief that the year is at an end.
