Chronicle Staff calling. and Selling af 7fae efwani Starting the term with relatively few experienced members, the staff of The Pershing Chronicle suc- ceeded in issuing four interesting editions of the paper consisting of 9,800 copies. loan McGillivray was the editor-in-chief: Virginia Sucher, news editor, Marilyn Macey, feature editor: and the sports page was handled by Leonard Sevek. Mr. H. H. Rigg is the new faculty adviser, succeeding Mr. Vene Smeltzer, and has done a splendid job. Mr. Earl Potter as business adviser, has skillfully man- aged the financial affairs of the paper. Copies of the paper have been sent to former Perf shing students and graduates whose addresses are known. Experience on the staff has been valuable tc the members in many ways. Each group, early and late, selects one of their students to handle the sale of Chronicles to the group membership They work under the leadership of Mr. Potter, business adviser, and Betty Shepherd, circulae tion manager of the paper. Although the work of the salesmen has been greatly increased with the larger enrollment of Per- shing, the efficiency of the group has not slackened and the increase of sales has been ten per cent. The sale of The Pershing Parade, school year- book, is also handled by the Chronicle sales staff. Chronicle Salesmen
