to meet pressing publication deadlines SPOTLIGHT STAFF—Front Row: Mrs. David (adviser), Mikel (spot news and South Bend Tribune reporter), Sherk (grade news), Jordan (editor and Wakarusa Tribune reporter), Klein (mimeoscope, exchange and mailing clerk), Nicholas (spot news and mimeoscope). Row Two: Schalliol (special articles), Enders (sports), McCormack (club news and mimeograph), Weaver (sports), Metzler (first semester). Thinking caps were donned as MADISON- IAN staff members sought for fresh, new ideas for captions, copy blocks, and headlines. They worked hard during the first class per- iod every day to make this annual another All-American. During a four-month period, individual, organization, and sports pictures were taken to portray school activities into a captivating picture story. In November the staff launched the MADISONIAN subscription sales campaign. The staff wound up the year by sponsoring the Autograph Hop in May at which the stu- dents received their yearbooks. Reporters of the SPOTLIGHT staff scurry to meet deadlines for the bi-weekly news- paper. The staff, which meets daily, prepares dummy sheets for a preview of the newspaper, then stencils are typed and placed on the mimeograph to produce the finished copy. Last year’s SPOTLIGHT staff won an excellence award from the Student Press for news coverage and a certificate of honor from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for a story on tuberculosis. KENNY McCORMACK checks for errors while Sue Klein draws headlines for the SPOTLIGHT with the help of the editor, Jo Anne Jordan. The journalism class publishes the paper. Page twenty-nine

Librarians’ Club increases membership LIBRARIANS’ CLUB President Sally Bailey helps her fellow student librarians, Alliene Nussbaum and Doug Flory, cover a new book. Page thirty Increasing more than 100 per cent over last year’s enrollment, the Librarians’ Club had a membership of 21 girls and 9 boys. Every other Friday during activities period, the club met to discuss their business and to learn library procedure. One of the club’s activities was a Christmas party for the mem- bers only. Duties of the student librarians included keeping the books in order on the shelves, stamping books, and filing cards neatly. Worn books were repaired, and new books were covered with plastic. Students were assisted by the librarians in finding information for book reports. To depict the current season or holiday, the bulletin board was kept attractively decorated. Last summer two of the members attended the Librarians’ Convention, which was held at Indiana University. Many helpful hints and instructions were taught them to make a better and more efficient club.
