THE MADISON HIGHWAY f ?y W? If P, at 5 fb Wagga The HlGHWAY'S D-Day is really a V-Day, as this D stands for distribution and not for de- feat. Each time a freshly printed issue of the paper is distributed to the official classes, the HIGHWAY editors and staff reioice at having won another victory against the omnipresent deadline and the innumerable troubles that con- front them. With the invaluable help and advice of Mrs. Elizabeth Whitlock, Faculty Adviser, all problems are solved, and all crises dealt with successfully. Putting out a paper is a continuous iob. The editors must first make their page plans, which designate the location and word count of each article. After the reporters have completed their assignments, the editors correct and write head- lines for each article. These are then sent to the printer to be set in type. Fasting is an experience which no HIGH- WAY editor will ever forget. As a result of many hours of hard, sticky, but enioyable work, the articles are pasted into an exact facsimile of the paper's final form. Even on the train to the printer in Greenwich Village, work does not cease, as there are always odd jobs to be finished. With utmost concentration, the proofs are read and reread, and all errors lit is hopedl are corrected. This issue is now over, and all that remains for the editors to do is plan their next page, assign the articles . . . The HIGHWAY is read and enioyed by the maiority of students and teachers in Madison. This fact, together with the satisfying feeling of working together for a good finished product, contributes to the pride felt by each member of the HIGHWAY staff. Nancy Scribner
