GEEP THE ISLANDER ng Paul Goodwin Dean Goodwin John Ciemny Elma Buchanan Jean Gemmell Thelma Willehan Madge Axiord The Volante The Volante entered upon its third decade this year with the hope of being a better newspaper than ever before. Paul Goodwin was elected editor, and managed its publication the first semester. During the second semester the paper was edited by various organizations. The Sophomore class, Freshman class, Amphictyon literary society, Athenian literary so- ciety, Sigma Tau Delta, and Junior class each sponsored one issue. Harold Eisele served as business manager throughout the year. Professors Laurene Steven and W. T. McDonald were faculty advisors. The staff of The Volante is essentially a volunteer staff. A number of persons have co-operated with the editor in making the paper a success. Students to whom special credit is due for their work are: Thelma Wil- lahan, Elma Buchanan, Madge Axford, John Ciemny, and Dean Goodwin. As a four page, five column paper, The Volante was issued bi-weekly. The object of the staff was to make it conform, as nearly as their limited working time would permit, to the highest standards of college jour- nalism. Its space was devoted to campus news, College events, sports, alumni news, editorials, feature articles, original humor, and meritorious stories from the English department. The name of The Volante is not a common one. It is pronounced vo-lahn-tay, with the accent on the second syllable. Being Spanish in origin, the name was first applied to an American newspaper ini New Orleans a century ago. The word has many meanings, but the one from which the newspaper derived its name is a short writing or manuscript easily disseminated: it generally contains some satire or libel. The aim of The Volante, however, has been to serve the best interests of Grand Island College through its services as a newspaper and promoter. 0315-91923 UH'
