Well-organized Staff Maintains Paper Checking over galleys of the Mortonite for printer’s errors, the school paper that was issued semi-monthly, are these editorial staff members—Reporter Doreen Biar.ucci, Feature Editor Julie Kitchen, Reporter Dorthee Bell, Page Editor Robert LaBelle, Assis¬ tant Editor Carolyn Reichardt, Reporter Cathy Hlavaty, Sponsor Mrs. Helen Stock, Editor-in-chief Mike Boardman, Sports Editor Ray Price, Reporter Francene Vintilla, Page Editor Susan Britt, Reporter Sandra Stone, and News Editor Bunny Josway. In answer to last years plea for a lar¬ ger staff, well-balanced editorial and business staffs took charge of the school’s semi-monthly newspaper. While the busi¬ ness staff sold ads and supervised fi¬ nances in order to “make ends meet”, the editorial, staff organized lay-outs, cropped pictures, wrote copy, and devel¬ oped a sort of radar for any and all news around school. Members of the staff, including the editor Mike Boardman, studied at In¬ diana University in preparation for the management of the paper. The staff hopes to interest enough students in journalism to put out a weekly paper. Selling ads to local patrons handling circulating details and keeping the ledger straight through the year pf 1961-1962 to pay for the Mortonite issues was the job of—Diane Weedon, Robert Colbert. Mark McNeil, Jim Herochik, and Charley Hill.

Through The Study of Journalism Business Staff Balancing the books for the Top Hat was the main job of the business staff. The advertising man¬ agers were in charge of selling a sufficient amount of advertising. Three typ¬ ists aided the staff editors with typing jobs.

Williams, J. Commer, J. Blanchard. Advertising Salesmen By selling advertising to local patrons, these students supplemented the income of the yearbook. As they gained knowledge in the field of selling, they also became confident of themselves. Under the supervision of Advertising Manager Fran Torok, the salesmen sold over $2400 of advertising. Homeroom representatives sold over 800 annuals to their fellow classmates—a 25 percent increase from the previous year. Selling the Top Hats was the principal task of the students.

Photo Club Furnishing photographic service for the Mortonite, the Top Hat, and a local paper is the job of the Photo Club. Ser¬ vice is not its only objective, however. Instructing new members in the essen¬ tials of taking pictures is another of its duties. The skill acquired in this activity may be used later in life, just for fun, or perhaps even in professional ventures. A photographer can be found at almost every school activity, at a dance, a game, or any special event, taking a picture for one of the three publications. The job of these members is both interesting and enjoyable to both the teachers and the students of Morton High. Serving Publications and a number of school or¬ ganizations are these members of the Photo Club. The members are—BOTTOM ROW: Sponsor Mr. Rasmussen, Vice-Pres. R. Hawkins, Pres. R. Barron, Sec. P. Phelps, Treas. P. Jackson. SECOND ROW: J. Vargo, R. Schlesinger, L. Odegard, J. Rycerz, P. Hill, S. Bewley. THIRD ROW: M. Olsen, R. Tyler. R. Valentino, J. Puhlyak, G. Smundin, J. Farster.
