Apparently the News Editor thought our little 'cscoopv was worth printing because here he is showing it to Editor-in-Chief ,lim Judge and Headline Editor Margaret Holk. These three will determine if it needs re-writ- ing, what kind of a headline it will have and exactly what size it will be and where it will go in the paper. The latter is done on the large, full size page plan that the three are surveying in the picture. Now the copy has gone to the printers and the galley proofs have come back and are be- ing checked with the original story for any typographical errors or last minute changes that might have to be made. When all the corrections are- made the 'igalleyv of Paul- ine's story that is here being okayed by John Pavey will be sent back to the printers. The final checkup before the Outpost goes to press is done at the printers by Miss Van Houten and the Editor-in-Chief, as Jim is do- ing with the print shop foreman in the last picture. YEAHBUUH Despite the presence of several war time handicaps un- known to former annual staffs the January, 1943, yearbook has a number of distinct and original features. One of the most noteworthy of these is the special extra durable cloth cover that binds three hundred of this year's edition. These coveted few are especially for the members of the senior class. Also unique in this year's book are the special sections set aside for the service men and defense workers.

4 EWSPAPEH In addition to covering the regular school news this yearis Outpost shouldered the further burden of interpreting the war developments as they affected Redford. The paper fea- tured a series of articles on our allies and a column on the exploits of former Redford students in the service. But by far the most notable accomplishment of the paper was the part it took in explaining the changes necessary to adapt the curriculum to the new pre-induction program. To do this the Outpost printed a special war edition with two extra pages to acquaint the students with the war training. fi ,ffA.l7L Er!

For the sake of those not fully aware of the exact procedure for securing a story and having it printed in the Outpost the pic- ture story above is given. Reading from left to right we first see Paul- ine De Rocco interviewing Miss Egan, girls' counselor. By the appearances of the con- versation a story is in the ofling, so let's fol- low it. Pauline is now showing her completed arti- cle to Bill Levitan, newly elected news editor, who will edit and cut or enlarge it if neces- sary. In the next photo we leave the editorial problems for a minute and take a look in at Mr. Walton's ninth hour camera class. Here, the Editor-in-Chief of the Outpost always sends a list of pictures he wants for the next issue of the paper, and itis the job of these student cameramen to have accompanying photographs for important stories, such as Pauline has tracked down.

ST TIIJ HB The birth of a radio program takes place in the minds of the script writers. This is one of the most tedious and least appreciated tasks of radio production. In the upper photo Janet Holderfield and Dick Barnett labor strenu- ously to turn out a suitable script for one of the many dramatic programs requested by different departments this semester. Below is pictured one of the next phases in the evolution of our show. The script has been prepared and now the engineers, An- drew Bloetscher, John Horning, and Sophia Jardine, are shown getting ready musical transitions and special sound effects to be used. Later these will be synchronized with the dramatic dialogue by the director, but first they must be selected, timed, and worked out alone. Our radio unit has 12 professional, double face sound records and over 60 musi- cal records, giving our student producers am- ple variety in the type of shows to be pre- sented. 32
