 WORD Day by day the staff worked out this theme, giving it an informal treatment which, they felt, would recall special incidents most readily. They employed the simple narrative style recounting the adventures of student reporters to lend a touch of reality to the ictivities described, and gathered as wide a variety of pictures as possible to lend color the stories.

Helen Larion. Elinor Fclsenberg, Connie Norman and Mary |ane Swanvon to kc« final direction before they Hart upon their icarch for new . Among the many things which the newly-assembled staff discussed was the innovation of a new section in the Polaris Yearbook called the Home Room section. Violet Person, an A senior, was named editor of this division and she was given a committee of four girls to assist her with the work. The staff decided that the work on this section should be outlined and begun immediately, because of the many details and the amount of time it would take to photograph, sort, paste, and gather and proof rosters. Violet decided to meet with her committee at once, so, in the second week of October, five girls assembled in the Polaris office. Violet, addressing the members of the committee, Mary Jane Swanson, Elinor Fclscn-herg, Connie Norman, and Helen Larson, said, The purpose of this new section in the annual is to bring more faces and more names into it. Thus we interest the underclassmen, for their own pictures and their names appear on the pages. The same principle which is used in publishing a newspaper, namely, the more names, the larger the circulation, can be applied to our section. I'm going to assign different home rooms to each of you, and you in turn will be responsible for informal write-ups and the rosters of each one. Bring in the atmosphere of each room you visit, and find out the outstanding members of the group by interviewing the teacher. Waldo Bretson, the Annual photographer, will take pictures of each room, and you’re to take them to the corresponding room for identification of each pupil. Let’s get to work and see if we can’t get our section to press before spring vacation. The girls hurried to the board to copy their assignments, and thus began the advisory section.
