Bob Stinson tries machine P wu€alt4t4, Second This year ' s journalism staff began their year ' s activities by preparing the 13th annual homecoming program for publication. Gathering advertisements, arranging pictures and writing copy under the pictures initiated the ' 54 jour- nalists into their year ' s duties. Next they undertook the year-long task of turning out the STUDE every two weeks. Special issues of this year ' s school paper featured a Fieldhouse Edition , based upon the huge CMC athletic plant, and the April Fool issue. The journalism staff traveled to the Michi- gan State College campus in the fall to attend a state-wide high school conference on school papers and yearbooks. The newly enlightened staff was caught posing around Sparty , MSC ' s symbolic statue by a passing camera bug. Perhaps the major project of this year ' s staff was to turn out the DERRICK. The year- book staff worked with a new printer this year and injected many startling changes into the 1955 version of the DERRICK. Picture adver- tisements, modern art, complete coverage of spring sports, along with late senior activities and an August autographing party formed the new look in DERRICK memories.
