Staff Duties Assigning news in class on Monday is the first step in putting out the paper. The news editor assigns two or three stories to each reporter giving him the source, story length, and the deadline. The reporter then obtains all informa- tion concerning the story, writes it in the order of importance, and works out his lead paragraph. After the reporter has types the tirst draft, the story is corrected by the copyreader, then given to the typist wh retypes the story for the printer. Top right: Morris Trego, the assignment editor on the school paper, is assigning a news story in 108 on Monday to Leona Miller, one of the staff re- porters. Bottom right: Betty Knott, Celia Pathetios, Artis Chapman, and Betty Raye Knott, all reporters on The Round-Up, working fast in 108 to meet the deadline. ,4 -iasq' I Staff Duties The completely corrected and retyped story goes to the printer where the story is set up on the linotype. Next, 'the proof reader checks the story for typographical errors and the editor writes a head for it. The first copy printed is then checked by the adviser, C. F. NVright. The correc- tions are made by linotype operators and the paper is put to bed. At 35:07 every Friday when the school paper is printed, the staff issues copies to holders of actiy-1 ities tickets from room 106, 108, 110, ticket office and 114.
