THE MICROMETER I The idea of having school activities is to create a common bond of interest in the student body. There are perhaps other media than a school paper or athletics, but there are none more efficient. It is the former, the school paper, that this article is designed to discuss. The reorganization of THE MICROMETER took place nearly two years ago by a group of determined juniors who were beset with the idea not only of rejuvenating the journal to its former standard but also of exciting scholastic envy throughout the country. Since the growth of THE MICROMETER has been set forth in detail in the Annual of ,22, we will take only time enough here to out line the salient features of the tenth volume. The size of the magazine was promptly increased from 32 to 48 pages, and this, together with an attractive new cover on each issue, immediately placed THE MICROMETER on a par with the best scho- lastic journals in the city. This progress was rapidly furthered by the addition of many novel features. Chief of these was, the innova- tion of reprinting cuts that appeared from time to time in local news- papers. These plates were rescued from their respective iihell-boxesi, by an enterprising staff member, mounted on wood blocks in the Insti- tute wood shop, and printed on the Institute press. Such a scheme meant valuable publicity for both the Institute and the journal, and in addition put a snap into feature articles that made them of general interest. During this year second class and special mailing privileges were secured. To the casual glance of the student this may not mean much, but it is an important factor of consideration when onets postage bill is reduced 85 per cent. The ultimate result of this was benefit for the reader, and in addition, a certain prestige that was coveted because of its rarity. The special privilege award made by the Post Office De- partment at Washington, D. C. to THE MICROMETER, February 13, 1922, was the first of its kind made to ariy scholastic journal in the Ohio Valley, and so far as that is concerned, one of the few grants awarded throughout the country. In the May issue of 1922, which was the last published by this jun- ior class staff, appeared the emblemiof the North Central Association of High School journaiists, a group of the most representative high school journals in the Middle West, organized for the interchange of ideas. For the first time in the history of the Institute, awards in the form of a miniature, gold, micrometer pin were given to those who had rendered meritorious service. The policy of this staff had been to make each issue better than its predecessor. Such a policy resulted in the May issue being the best MICROMETER, both as to appearance and contents, published at that time in the history of the journal. .11 In the fall of 1922 a staff meeting was held, and the following mem- bers from the preceding year were elected on the new staE of THE MICROMETER for the year 1922-23: H. Hilman Smith, Jr., editor, and James J. Campbell, associate of staff of 1921-22, were elected jointly as editors. John E. Schuster, circulation and athletic editor of the preceding year, as associate and exchange editor. Mr. Schuster in
