Newport News High School - Anchor Yearbook (Newport News, VA)

Page 32 text:

Editorial staff members, activities Tommy Drumwright; Mary Asher and Frances Murray, and features Betty Nachman, labor over the problem of senior lay-outs, minus two members, feature Irma Kate Popper and activities Charles Minnigerode. THE ANCHOR STAFF Striving to improve the Anchor by describing and showing more of the actual life, the June ' 46 Anchor staff began in October of 1945 to plan the annual. They have kept on despite the obstacles presented by the shortage of needed materials and by the handicap of too little time. With the hope that the student body will appreciate the changes and will find in them improve- ments, they present the June 1946 Anchor. After apprenticing themselves to the February staff, the members of the June staff were appointed by the Anchor advisor. Miss Jeanette Ward, and the February staff on the basis of their qualifications and working ability. Elected to lead the staff as co-editors were Mary Puckett Asher and Frances Murray. The alternation in the arrangement of senior pictures was one of the first achievements of these two. Business manager, Jimmy Goodwin, and his assistant, Selma Epstein, handled the revenue, which was the result of the work of the ad staff. Man- ager of this staff was Ted Ashby, who had the somewhat thankless job of obtaining the finances needed to publish the annual. His helpers in this work were Jean Blassenham. Hermine Weiner, Sue Mays, Katie Allen, June Jarrett, Frances Richardson. Gloria Winter, Shirley Powell, Charles Tynan, J. D. Seward and Marion Forrest. Not to be forgotten, but to be thanked are those seniors who. although not members of the staff, sold ads and secured patron money. Betty Nachman and Irma Kate Popper, as feature editors, were given the job of writing up the various departments. The fact that Newport News High School has so many courses from which the student may choose helps to make it one of the best in the state. These girls have a finished product of which they may be rightly proud. Activities editors usually have jurisdiction over the pictures of the numerous clubs. However, this year Tommy Drumwright and Charles Min- nigerode took charge of all pictures except those of the seniors, including Thirty

tho se of a senior ' s day and all needed for the departments. Their work was painstaking and thorough. The two, who pestered the seniors about their pictures, but won in their perseverence by meeting their deadline, were photo editors, Joyce Las- siter and Helen Friedman. Also working with the whole class were the biography editors, Dollie Rogers and Victoria Vaughan, who handled the headaches of additions and corrections with unequaled patience. No annual would be complete without the catchy drawings by the art editors. The theme of this annual caused the artists, Barbara Andrews, Kitty Guthrie, and Doris Hughes to complete more drawings than usual. Sectional page drawings by Barbara Andrews are thought to be great addi- tions to the over-all effect of the annual. Photographer John Theiss assisted Mr. Weiss, faculty photographer, in taking the pictures for various sections. Jack Lawson, a graduate in Feb- uary, 1946, also acted as photographer and turned in some excellent shots. Covering the basketball games and athletic phases of the school life were sports editors, Arnette Howell and Larry Rabinowitz. Even though only a minority participate in extra-curricula sports, every student takes an in- terest in the school ' s teams and wishes to see them well represented in the annual. Perhaps the most unlauded group, but nevertheless essential and hard working are the typists. Martha Helmer, Jean Rowe, and Dorothy McClure had several times to work extra hard in order to meet deadlines because of work ' s being turned in late. Whenever thinking of the annual or work connected with it, one should remember the tireless worker, Miss Ward. This annual would never have been published but for her patient understanding and hard work in advising and correcting. The staff as a whole worked faithfully and hard to turn out an Anchor which would picture the events of every student ' s school life. They hope that everyone reading a copy of their publication will appreciate these efforts and consider all things in criticisms. Attempting to catch upon financial difficulties ore typists Martha Helmer, and Patsy Forehand, ad staff members Katie Allen, Hermine Weiner, Jean Blassenham, Jackie Lackie, business managers Jimmy Goodwin, and assistant Selma Epstein and ad manager, Ted Ashby. Caught while planning their respective sections, are biography Dollie Rogers and Victoria Vaughan, art Borbara Andrews and Doris Hughes, photo Helen Friedmon and Joyce Lassiter, sports Larry Rabinowitz and Arnette Howell, and photographer, John Theiss.
