The Crimson Rambler S. Earl Trekell W. Frank Brewer Business Manager Editur-in-Chief In September, 1905, the students of the State School at Tonkawa voted to publish a school paper. This paper was known as the Purple and White. lt was published monthly, and consisted of four pages. The first editor was Gurnie M. Moss. Blanch Campbell was business manager. ' ' At a mass meeting in September, 1906, the students elected, from their own num- ber, those persons whom they wished to represent them in the manage cnt of the school organ. It was also voted tc change the name from Purfle and White to the Crimson Rambler. The first editor of the Crimson Rambler was J. Raymond Mahoney, with Lonnie P. Payne as business manager. This paper was publishncl monthly in the form of a magazine and was devoted exclusively to students of the school, who con- tributed literary material in the form of short stories, essays and poems. Aside from this, a division was given to athletics, organizations, locals and editorials. The paper passed through the years unchanged from this form until it was decided, in the fall of 1914, to chgnge the governing of the paper. It was decided by those having proper authority, that the paper could he run more econoniically anl more satisfactorily on a new plan. This -plan, as adopted, was that a council, consisting ot' one member from each of the iive different classes, be selected. This council of five members elects the entire staff, and has general control of it. The business 1 l'12g'61' was to be paid a commission and all bills were to be paid by the treasurer. This lan .' D has proven satisfactory inasmuch as it gave the paper a larger margin of income. In the fallxof 1915 it was foundthatsa weekly paper would be more widely appre- ciated than a monthly. Pt a staff meeting in December, it wrs l 1 IWlTi'lf7llSlV vcted to launch the Crimson Rambler as a weekly journal instead of a monthly magazine. Almost immediately certain former sources of material deelinecl to furnish any matter other than poems or very long stories. At this point the Journalism students came to the rescue and saved the Rambler' by furnishing fresh news for every issue. The Rambler as a weekly newspaper is devoted to all kinds of local news of interest the school spirit running atla high pitch. It also devotes space to literary matter and organizations, when copygot reasonable length and suitable nature is furnished. The Rambler as a weekly paper has brought many praiseworthy comments to its managementgand this school. The careful guidance and management of the Rambler is, in a larfre measure. due to the editor-in-chief, W. Frank Brewer, and business manager, S. Earl Trekell, who have toiled along, often under great discouragements, while now, the Rambler is read every week by more people than at any other time in its history. It certainly has a bright outlook for the next year. 94
