756 gm 96m? Did you ever wonder how the BLUE DEVIL that you read every month was put together? The editor decided what features there would be for the front page and set the deadline for all news. Are you acquainted with the word deadline? Webster claims that it is t'the hour at which the printing forms of a newspaper are locked, after which no copy can be inserted. The editors doubt this statement. From the first issue on, deadline meant the time that the editor and her two assistants lor bloodhoundsl started tracking down reporters, first to coiole them, threaten them, and plead with them to write their assignments; second to lay in wait for them in order to get their write-ups. Then, when practically all the news had been turned in, the editors put on their thinking cops and hurriedly wrote the rest of the material to the tune of banging typewriters on which the news was being typed. After the typewritten pages were proof-reod several times and the words were counted, one of the editors journeyed to the printer's office at Milford. lRuth Calvert was marooned out there for two hours one cold day when she missed the bus coming back.l A few days later someone went out for the galleys which were proofread and pasted together for the dummy. Again the paper was sent to Milford and the final printing was done. As the editor returned to school with the finished product on the day of distribution, about fifteen people were waiting in the shorthand room to fold the papers quickly before the bell rang. Now they could relax-well, until next week when the whole process would start all over again. Oh, for the life of a newspaperman!

Marilynn Jenkins The girls of the iunior and senior home economics class have worked hard this year to make the club a success. Miss Birks was their able adviser. They sponsored the Junior Red Cross Drive and the Russian Relief Drive in the High School. High- lights of the year were a faculty tea, a demonstration of flower arrangement, a pot luck supper, c1 weiner roast, a dinner meeting and movie. The most outstanding activity was the trip to Madison, Indiana, to see the old Laneer Home. With the earnings from their projects, the club redecorated the clothing room. 60
