When you hear these familiar words, it's a good sign the I nkspot staffs are having another race to see who can sell the most subscriptions for the school paper. While the drive is on, these salesmen become a familiar sight to the entire city. After enough subscriptions have been sold to top the last drive fwhich is an absolute necessity to usave facenj, the editors start the whirlwind job of assign- ing and collecting stories. Reporters, who might be called human question- naires while they're on the job, are the persons equipped with a so-called Unose for news. They track down the story, write it, and then start banging on the typewriter. Finally, it's ready to hand in in the condition required by an All-American school news- paper. When the editor gains possession of this work of art, he gives it the once-over to brush up on any slip of the pen, and Mr. Henderson re-checks all stories and headlines for journalistic mistakes. Now these important pieces of paper travel down to the print shop, where the printing staff is given the job of setting the type on the Linotype, and making up the page forms is also under the supervision of Mr. Henderson, to whom all editorial and printing staff members run for suggestions and guidance. All members of the staff that can-and will-are occupied with the job of folding the papers, mailing them, or sorting them out for home rooms on the day after you hear the printing press humming busily on the lower floor.

At last the job is completed, and staff members sit back with a certain air of satisfaction in the knowl- edge that they have contributed their share of work fmental or otherwisej in putting the paper out.

'GWl1o, What, when, and wherel' are words that journalism hopefuls become well acquainted with, for they are part of the essentials that must be in- cluded in the first paragraph of news stories. Most complex duty of these future reporters is to H11 in the second semester workbook, which includes clippings from newspapers, requiring a wild scramble for good and bad stories. Another task is that of mak- ing out the dummy for the front page of a paper and writing leads of stories for it-G. A. doing all she can to help out.
