The BULLDOG staff is studying various annuals for ideas. The BULLDOG staff is composed of five seniors, Renita Ring, Eldona Antonides, Melissa Bechtol, Martha VanGilder, and Jill Newcomb, and one junior, Dave Norris, who will become the senior editor next year. Melissa Bechtol was named editor by Mrs. Cald- well, BULLDOG sponsor. Melissa attended a two weeks' session on journalism at Indiana University last sum- mer, where she made plans for each page of this an- nual. The BULLDOG grew from a 64 page book last year to the 96 page book of this year. The coverage of Burket and Talma schools for the first time helped to enlarge the material. The staff collected the advertisements from the merchants during the two weeks before school started in the fall. Then they spent their time collecting material and writing pages to meet their four dead- lines. Pictures were taken by Robert DeBruler of Lock- ridge Studio in Rochester. The staff is most grateful to Mrs. Caldwell for her timely assistance in writing pages, checking for mis- takes, giving assignments, and guiding the staff efforts for a good book. 29

Pul)focaiio i$ The Mentonette staff, composed of students from all four high school classes, is at work producing a paper. The school newspaper, with Vivian Hurst as editor and Mrs. Carter as sponsor, has made several changes. A new Rex rotary mimeograph machine simplifies and speeds the printing. The new column, Chatter from the Champ is an improvement from the former gossip columns. Last year M.H.S. reporters re- ceived an honorable mention at the South Bend Tribune banquet for outstanding journalism. Mentone is the smallest school to participate in the program; it is competing with schools that offer classes in journalism; it is the farthest from South Bend. So the reporters are to be con- gratulated for their efforts. Gene Hughes, Vivian Hurst, Doug Simpson, and Steve Kovach are the Tribune reporters. 28
