We reached a high goal in the sale of ads this year and sponsored a contest for those not on the staff. who apply for membership to the staffg the ap- plicants must then be recommended and ap- proved by members of the faculty. The staff is divided accordingly into sections. Each be- ing a body within itself and having a sectional editor at its head. At the end of each year the existing staff is responsible for placing mem- bers on each sectional staff and electing an editor-in-chief or co-editors for the coming year. This year the staff began functioning the later part of the summer by soliciting through- out the community for advertisements. one means of attaining financial support. The actual work on the book began in September after some members of the staff attended the National Scholastic Press Association Conven- tion in Washington, D.C.
