Students working on publications are divided into two groups- the editorial staff, directed by Louis Schulz, and the business staff, for which Frank Lanham is the faculty adviser. The editor- ial staff handles all copy, heads and cuts (written material, headlines and pictures, to the uniniti- ated) and the business staff sells advertising and manages the dollars and cents side of pub- lications work. Besides publishing the North Wind every two weeks and the Noroscope at the end of each year, the staff also sends school news to the Flint Journal, assists on school publicity committees and cooperates with the Central publications de- partment to produce the Thanksgiving day foot- ball program. The Noroscope staff was assisted in producing the '41 book by the Art and Camera clubs. The Art club, sponsored by Miss Ilo Browns, took over all art work and the photography was done under the auspices of the Camera club.

A semester's training in Journalism is required for editorial staff members and a new system for training business staff workers was put into effect this spring. Students entering the beginning journalism class, which is an elective subject open to juniors and seniors, must be able to write in good Eng- lish and express themselves clearly. In the train- ing course, the fundamentals of news writing are acquired and students are familiarized with headline writing, feature writing, make-up and other phases of newspaper work. Students suc- cessfully completing the course become members of the Noroscope and North Wind editorial staffs. The present North Wind business staff, which is the second hour retail sales class, inaugurated a training program for prospective staff members this spring. A selected group of cubs were taught the fundamentals of selling advertising. A ’ cub knowledge hunt, in which the beginners acquired necessary experience in accosting pros- pective advertisers was a feature of the training work. Next year the business work will be han- dled by a club rather than a retail sales class.
