Representatives of the PTQSS OURNALISM has been very much in the spotlight since the com- ing of a new adviser, Philip K. Erickson, from Seattle. In spite of extreme rises in the cost of printing and materials, Olympia's pub- lications have improved, when many other schools have been forced to discontinue journalism activities. New equipment has been added, alterations made, and many of the finest features of metropolitan journalism introduced. Students made a comparative study of high school papers through- out the country and decided that their own Olympus ranked right at the top. So fat' Z-IS the 3I11'1L13l is COI1CCI'I1Cd, staff workers hope that their efforts to make the 1935 book an outstanding one have not been without reward. A difficult and expensive task, getting out a high SCl100l Hnllllill, and the editors Want to fl'13I1li CVCIY 0116 Wl'1O had 3. part in the yearbook's success. The annual is a new size, with an entirely novel form of makeup and layout-very modern in its whole, with more photography than usual and with copy presented in typical American journalese. Alice Schmidt, as editor, directed the work, four juniors-Glen Swan, Nell Hoyt, Jocelyn Dohm and Betty Fultz-admirably aiding her. Frank Kenney, alumnus, kindly volunteered his services as staff photographer and did a good job of it. Ida Gage kept the accounts straight, and Irwin Maxwell, assisted by Shirley jones, stepped out and broke all circulation records by raising more than 950 pledges for annuals. Merwin I-Ienslin, aided by Virginia McCarty, handled the advertising. 'Way up there in the corner is Philip K. Erickson, journalism adviser. The iirocluctimi staff of The Olym- pus, this book, appears directly ovt-rlieetd.
