Reveille Reams of poetry and a smidgen of prose was only one of the problems the Reveille staff encountered in its efforts to produce a literary magazine. The shortage of diverse works was second only to the lack of capital. Overshadowed by Rank and File and Columbian, Reveille did not receive enough money to produce a sophisticated magazine. An informative and artistic calender brought the magazine recognition early in the year; the spring issue featured the talents of a one semester creative writing class. Editing and much of the material production fell on the shoulders of sponsor, Mr. Ned Vergason, and a handful of loyal staff members. Rank File — Bottom row: Mike Sumser, Frances Murray.

At these meetings, guest speakers presented their fields of medicine to the members. Occasionally, students unsure of which field they wished to enter were aided in their decisions by professionals and those with a field already in mind were given the chance to learn more of the background and actual work of their chosen career. Various methods of earning money -candy sales and bake sales - were employed by the Medical Careers Club. This money was used to fund a trip to Fairfax Hospital in the Spring. There, members observed the skills required to function efficiently in a hospital atmosphere. Future-oriented clubs Commonly considered a sewing and ll .

in order to meet a deadline, assistant editor Su?3 Martin and staff artist Steve Redding keep busy. Changes in format and attitude marked the Rank File for a productive and successful year. Working toward creating a news magazine rather than a newspaper, more art work — most notably a full-cover cartoon — made the paper a visual as well as a literary' stockpile of current events and issues. Each issue centered on a particular facet of G.C. Marshall, e.g., entertainment, freaks, and organizations. Because of the single theme format, the newspaper editors were more selective in what they chose to print. Co-editor Susan Reeves and adviser Chuck Cascio review copy while laying out a page.
