This organization is in charge of revenue. Main sources from which money for the paper is obtained are ads from the local merchants and subscriptions from the student body. Some income will also come from a dance which is to be- held in May. From this money the printer must be paid and all other expenses involved in printing and issuing a paper must be met. There is a sizable sum of expenses as our Sassamon comes out 8 times a year The Business Staff is divided into three groups, the advertising group, the subscription group, and the bookkeeping group and each group has its manager. The business staff covers subscriptions from students and advertisements from merchants. Bookkeepers are in charge of the records. In charge of approximately sixty members comprising the organization are the following: Business Manager — James Meyers Subscription Manager — Mary Sweeney Advertising Manager — Mary Sauro Subscription Assistant — Diane Karcher Assistant Business Manager — Jane Kadlick Assistant Advertising Manager — Carol Lindquist Bookkeepers are Sandra Ghetti. Shirley Strickland. Margaret Hladick, and Arlene Paquette The assistant managers of the various groups are voted on and the following year automatically become managers and new assistants are again voted on. Members must be- in g x d academic standing and their conduct must be above reproach in school activities. The advertising group obtains income by soliciting ads from the local merchants; the subscription group is in charge of revenue from the student body, and the bookkeepers are in charge of all records relative to the Sassamon paper. Advisors are Mr Anderson and Mr Mitro.
