Clarion Annual Business Staff 'fl IE Annual business staff has the responsibility of raising approximately S1600 to hnance the publication of the yearbook. No money comes from any other seourees.

ROGER lVllI.LER Clarion Editor ALL of you perhaps are well acquainted with stories or pictures of the busy scenes behind the black and white of a newspaper. Doubtless, you have seen nrovies of a busy city room with confusion and bedlam making the scene a noisy one. I f you have the advantage of a fertile imagination try to picture the above synopsis condensed from a large spacious office with an unaccountable number of desks and typewriters to a triangular hole of some twenty square feet, one desk, one typewriter and eighty slip-loving staff members. To such a scene as this the Clarion Editor comes and goes every school day of the year. Wearied in mind and body, thinning in hair, and timed in temper it is the constant effort of this public servant to bring forth twice monthly UD the pride and joy of the school, The Clarion . But even the above description is handicapped in appropriately and correctly describing his activities. First, and far more important, on the list of the edits headaches is the be- smirched dirt column. Openly admitted and granted the most widely-read section of the sheet , it is the cause of more of the rifts and strained feelings than any of the remaining columns. The remaining headaches on the list are many and frequent. Late stories, forgotten assignments, lost copy, and incorrect proof-reading all tend to make the life of the editor an uneasy one. Not enough emphasis can be given to the interference met in successfully pro- ducing every issue of the paper. lnterferences arise at every turn, tearing down patience and building up downheartedness to such an extent that it makes coopera- tion quite impossible. There are always people that wish to keep an article out of the paper or to put one in. So you see that the job of editing a schoolpaper is one that requires an abundance of patience, integrity, and perserverance. Here one is in a position to be criticized, dictated to, and beseeched, all in one breath. At the end of his term, the editor has become an experienced diplomat of no little ability to evade questions and straddle a fence. I-lis friends wonder at his indirectness, his teachers marvel at his alibies, and his parents question his sanity. Strange as it appears in print, it is always the ambition of the editor to obtain revenge on his friend who nominated him for the office: to wish the job on someone he particularly doesn't care forg and to appear as reluctant as possible at leaving the office. He believes he has obtained his pound of flesh from the student body for their electing him by the monstrosity of journalism he has put before them during the year. Anyway this editor does.

B013 HILL Clarion Annual Business Manager Q WHEN ye editor asked ye manager for a contribution to place by his picture expressing his sentiments about his work this year, this is what he brought forth: I could say buy your Annual receipt now, but I won't. I could say a thousand and one things, but I can't think of them. I-Iowever, I will say I sincerely appreciate the efforts of both the Annual sales and business staffs and the splendid cooperation they have received from the sutdent body. BOB I-IILL 78
