IJ- IIV U CCl Li 11 dCHUWEILER RICHARDS LISCZINSKI SCHNEIDER Jte atUe i The editing of the Tattler is one of the biggest jobs undertaken by any group of stu- dents, and the success of the book is a great victory for that group. All year the student body awaits the distribution of the yearbook and when the books come out, if the annual is not up to their expectations, they are much disappointed. The staff this year has tried to make a book which would meet the approval of everyone. The Tattler has been completely revised from that of last year, as the staff felt it could best take advantage of the available space by complete revision. The two sections of the book are: Our School, containing the cal- endar of the school year, student govern- ment, organizations and clubs, music, and physical education; and Our People , con- taining the administration, the faculty, and the classes. It was the aim of the staff to have the pic- ture of every student in the year book so that when one picks the book up five years hence he can see how he looked in 1940. This year the size of pictures and the character and cleaness of the pictures were emphasized. The faculty pictures were action shots, thus pro- ducing informal and natural effects. To encourage more students to read the copy, it was put into two columns on a page. The amount of copy was reduced from last year and larger type used. Another addition this year is the Senior activities pages found iust beyond the Senior pictures. One of the most attractive features of this year ' s book is the portrayal of the ideal high school boy and girl carried out in the cartoons and division pages. The couple is seen taking part in every activity in school. The school calendar was written to represent the diary of this ideal high school girl.

PRECOURT EECKE CASSIDY FIRKU3 Jte MmiAo This year when the call went forth for stu- dents interested in work on the school paper, a record number applied. The staff was not selected until after the first two issues, by which time the number of student applicants had decreased somewhat. By using this me- thod it was thought only those who had a genuine interest in the paper and a willing- ness to work would be on the staff. With com- petition running high among those who wished a place on the staff the first two issues were brought out with very few complica- tions. However, a group of boys felt that they would like to issue one Mirror and the oppor- tunity was given them by the superintendent. Because of the utmost consideration shown to this new staff by everyone to whom they went, the regular members of the Mirror staff, who had not met with the same co-operation, were somewhat discouraged. Nevertheless, after several pep talks by Miss Schaffner and Mr. Speerstra, the regular staff rallied again and from that time on produced an issue of the Mirror approximately every two weeks. It was the ambition of the Mirror staff to have a larger paper, but this was impossible, since the work of printing had to be done in the high school print shop where equipment is limited. However, the staff is anxiously awaiting the time when a new and larger press, capable of printing a five-column pa- per, will be added to the print shop equip- ment. The staff met with only partial success when it tried to create a better paper by asking for contributions from the student body. The Mirror staff reminded the students that the Mirror cannot be an outstanding success until all realize that news is created by the co- operation of everyone.
