The first semester Joyce Martin led the inexperienced staff to over- come a small victoryg the victory being that of writing heads, get- ting the stories, developing more and more initiative, business and advertising management, an d many other small items that are needed to produce a paper. Joyce, accompanied by two of her fellow staff members, attended the Indiana High School Press Confer- ence, in late October, at Franklin College. The1'e they learned a few more tricks of the trade, such as photography, human interest sto- ries and technical work. Joyce became a member of the Quill Sz Scroll Society in her junior year when she served as circula- tion manager. She is known to her friends as Marty, Jake, or Joe. Her main outside activities consist of dancing, swimming and yelling at a football game. Betty Leonard became editor for the second semester. During this time the Mirror has sponsored a limerick contest, a track meet, and an April Fool's special edition. The stories became more and more interesting and more and more work was being put into it every minute. Betty is a member of the Quill and Scroll, National Honor, and Art Honor Societies. She has served as pa-ge two editor, advertising manager, student poll, and gossip editors. Reitz One of Best Kept Schools in Ind.
