THE MODULUS Cubs Two revolutions were started in room 212, but one was settled by arbitration. In case you hadn ' t observed these distinct changes, one was the semi-weekly publication of the School World and the periodical issuing of the Modulus. Ossa Hamilton was chosen Managing Editor of the newspaper last spring with the other staff officers being: Lucile Wienke, News Editor; Ruth Harvey, Associate Editor; Jack Nye, Sports Editor; Louis Lichtsinn, Feature Editor; Dea Michael, Copy Editor; Mary Ellen Willis, Busi- ness Manager; Helen Sparks, Advertising Mana- ger; Eleanor Beaver, Circulation Manager; and Dorance Overmyer, Bookkeeper. It takes more than editors to make a paper, 30 the gathering herd is composed of Kenneth Balzer, John Berringer, Adeline Bonebrake, Mar- garet Chapman, Helen Jane Cook, Paul Cozad, Jack Hefner, Alice Hurd, Gerald Jung, Marjorie Rhodenbaugh, and Eugene Steele. The last, but not least, of the important units of any publish- ing establishment are the ad collectors, nicely named Advertising Solicitors, but in other words, John Hoover, Clifford Miller, Max Patten, and Arthur Solloway. Because of the added work required by the weekly paper, the staff was unable to keep up under the strain of work, so the paper was changed back to the weekly edition. However, the advisor was satis- fied in trying his ex- periment, and thor- oughly convinced that it was possible that get World people to overwork themselves. Besides putting out regular issues, the paper put out a special night-school edition. In this issue, which contained six pages in- stead of the usual four, was run a spec- ial tie-up page with the pictures of the school board and a short account of each. ,, , , standing: Harvey, Sparks, Much added work was sitting: Nye. wienke, Ham required to make such a paper possible, and the staff must be given credit for their spec- ial effort and profitable results. Although the paper was published twice a week, the price remained the same, $1.50 for the year. The banking system ably provides for the payments on the different publications by a week- ly depository plan. The School World placed second last year in the contest conducted by the Indiana High School Press Association, and has received high i-ecog- nition frequently. The aim of the advisor, Mr. Day, is to make the paper strictly a student pub- lication. Practically all of the work is done by the members of the staff, with a minimum of ac- tual supervision by the advisor. In this way the pupils are really responsible for all the activities in connection with the paper, and get the experi- ence connected with the different positions. Special emphasis has been given this j ' ear to the deA ' elopment of an interesting feature page, with a variety of special departments. The journalism room has been well equipped for the work, new desks and files being added each year until the school can boast one of the best newspaper offices in any school of the size in the state.
