The juniors spent many hours assisting the senior staff. miskoeditors thrive on crucial moments-almost miss deadlines Never a dull moment! Miskoeditors found that build- ing a yearbook was an experience they'd never forget! Spending an average of 10 hours weekly in room 219, they learned to sling high-sounding phrases fmortises, galleys, croppingj to the inexperienced juniors who soon learned a few words of their own. Activity picture day gave staff members a chance to mastermind picture- taking and run around looking important fit was also a good excuse to get out of classes for the dayj. De- cisions to make, such as the color of the cover and which pictures were to appear in the book, promoted many heated arguments before the staff was satisfied. Inquisitive juniors were told the cover would be plaid. By mistake, the first 50 pictures were sent to Indian- apolis by freight instead of by express. As a result, the staff spent a fearful two weeks visioning blank pages until word finally arrived that the package had reached the engraving company. The conversations that appear on the title pages were taken down on a wire recorder and then transcribed. It often took days to write down the hour-long conver- sations and then condense it to the two minutes' worth that appears in the book. Deadlines every two weeks kept the staff on their toes so that the blank pages Miss Martha Miller threat- ened to put in would never be a reality. They found that writing copy which was young and gay, but still informative, sometimes required at least six or seven rewritings. The spelling of names had to be checked at least five times. Even with all these complications, they survived the last minute rush, and amazingly enough, each section went to press on time. When the staff finally saw their brainchild being printed at Culver, they all felt that it was well worth the 14 months of worry and work that they put into the 1953 Miskodeed. 29

At ACTIVITIES EDITOR Cara Lee Mitchell ponders about copy ideas, Forced to cram an active club's story into a small copy block, she spent more time cut- ting the copy than writing it. OFFICE MANAGER Charmayne Bryan amazed staff members: she could take a letter down in shorthand faster than anyone could dictate it and type piles of copy in no time at all. SPONSOR Martha Miller kept the Miskodeed wheels turning smoothly, helped the staff over the humps when the going got rough, and provided inspiration for the idea-hungry writers.
