Called by Mr. Harnth one of the best editors Horace Mann has had. George proved himself a hard. conscientious worker who got the most from his staff. His only freedom in the Rec- ord Room was rattling out drum- breaks with Ziggy Miller. ALAN JAFFEE fllllllfllgfllg Editor Jail was right-hand man and the old stand-by for those long evenings at Yonkers. Will be swearing for ten years he would have had an honor average if it weren't for twelve oiclock hed- times. THE RECORD GEORGE AVAKIAN Edilor-in-Chief LAWRENCE L,xnER F1 aiu rf, Lldzlor If he could have spared the time from his one thousand other oc cupations. Larry would have changed the Record completely. His editorial make-up, heads. lay-outs and serial interviews were noteworthy. 112 ALFRED STRASBURCER Business fllanrlgf-r Strassy will be remembered as a really sterling shekel snatcher. Spent time building up younger talent and appreciating all parts of the Business Board.

change and one which had long been contemplated came late in the year. This was the sprucing up and enlivening of the editorial page, which for a long time had been criticized for its dullness. Despite this noted attention to makeup tech- nique. the writing of news stories did not suffer accordingly. After the staff learned to make its leads more concise and terse and through practice perfected its style. the Record in this respect placed consistently at the top of the schools entered in the Princetonian Scholastic Press Association. Outside of the first month the paper did well in the regular contests run by this organization. the sports articles in particular receiving special commendation. As Editor-in-Chief of the Record. George Ava- kian must receive the lionis share of the credit. His rewrite ability. his talent for reporting athletic events. his thorough knowledge of publication tech- nicalities. and above all his conscientiousness did much for the paper's success. In his capacity as Managing Editor Alan Jalfee was Avakian's able assistant. working with him each week up at Yon- kers. writing a good number of the editorials. and acting as general utility man. The l936-37 editors instituted a new system by turning the paper over to the new editors right after the spring vacation. They still advised the inexperienced staff. however. and came back to put out the final issue in May. John Friend and Bobby Kaufman were chosen to pilot the paper next year. Both boys displayed good journalistic ability. and this selection received Mr. Raruth's approval. This plan of turning over the work to Fifth Formers before the year is over will probably remain permanent. A regular series of interviews and short biogra- phies with famous Horace Mann alumni were started hy the energetic Feature Editor. Larry The Record crlilurs gel lngelller for the first lime this year. Lader. not only with the sole purpose of celebrat- ing the school's Golden Anniversary, but also with the intention of reviving alumni interest in the Record. Articles about Arthur Hays Sulzberger. president and publisher of the New York Times. Rockwell Kent. celebrated artist. and Alan Seeger who wrote the famous poem. 'LI Have a Rendez- vous with Deathf, were three of the many pub- lished. In addition to these brief and timely col- umns. many other educational interviews with prominent men and women in all walks of life were printed at frequent intervals. It is an evident fact that few other prep school publications offer nearly the number of such features as does the Record. but for years it has been the editors, opinion that such stories add a wealth of interesting and note- worthy material to the paper. Following the ex- ample set last year. no syndicated Princetonian fea- tures were set up. The Record's humor column. uStation H.M.S.'7 again proved an outstanding highlight of the edi- torial page. as under the guiding hand of Charles Miller it followed the high and mighty standard set by Victor Rarnow and Heywood Broun. The imag- ination of this year's author surged to even greater heights of the ridiculous. That old standby. g'0ur Contemporariesf' also made its appearance occa- sionally to add a touch of none too subtle humor to page two. but for want of another witty writer '6Your Man Friday was not continued. 'ascreen Highlightsv or its twin Down in Front also came out in almost every issue of the paper and offered. strangely enough. good reliable stage and screen reviews to their readers. The in- veterate theater going and prolific writing of Henry Ritter were the two mainstays of these col- umns The ever-popular Sportslight. an occa- 'sional nBookstall.'7 reliable 'gAlum- ni News. a few articles on records and places about town. and other miscellany completed the list of edit page features. the variety and writ- ing of which received hearty student approval. Following a precedent set a number of years ago. the editorials continued to deal with school prob- lems and student views alone. A careful reading of the edits was particularly urged this year. for the most pertinent problems confront- ing the school at large was pre-
