QQQQQQG THE INDCIANIAN QQEQQQQ rrca HY fx THE lNDlANlAN At first it was rather doubtful wh-ether the Class of '32 would spon- sor a year book. But after an advertising campaign and a subscription drive were put over successfully, assuring us that the majority of the student body was backing us, the staff was chosen. The members of the class tried out for the positions which they de- sired. The points considered in choosing the staff were: ability for the position applied for and interest in the book, shown by the number of sub- scriptions secured by each student or by the advertising he sold. Mar- garet Ray was chosen editor-in-chief of the staff 3 Mary Frances Arduser, assistant editorg Russell Trant, business managerg Elaine DeBatty, joke and calendar editor, Dorothy Kitterman, snapshot editorg Louise Cale, senior editor, Martha Shadday, department editor, Vaughn Hoover, art editorg and Melvin Mason, athletic editor. The typists were not chosen until the second semester, as this plan gave them more time to gain efficiency in typing. Then Dorothy Helton and Doris King were chosen because of their skill in typing and ability to follow directions. As the advertising for the annual was sold before the staff was chosen, there was no need for a special advertising manager. Those who sold the advertising were Golden Walker, Ray Noller, Bill Henderson, and Russell Trant. In keeping with the times, we have reduced the price of the year book from one dollar and seventy-five cents to one dollar by using a less eX- pensive cover and reducing the number of pages. Because of the business difficulties of our engravers, the Stafford Engraving Company of Indianapolis, who have done our work for several years, it seemed for a time that we should be unable to publish our book, however the Jahn and Ollier Engraving Company came nobly to their rescue and ours and made it possible for them to continue in business and for us to publish the Indianian of '32 without further difficulties. , THE CRIERH As it was considered impractical for the school to sponsor two pub- lications, a different plan was used this year in publishing the Crier . The school news was published each week on the second page of the Her- ald , Robert and Esta Cook were the school reporters. ZSQETSQKQQQQKQEQQ 1 9 3 2 QQTQQKEEQQEEQGE age twenty-five
