Jlte l Oatcbtaiuesi JAMES SMITH Editor in chief The production of The Watchtower is made possible through the efforts of the staff, adviser, student writers, photogra¬ phers, engraver, printer, and cover manu¬ facturer. Esca G. Rodger, Watchtower adviser and director of high school publications, trained and gave advice to the staff. Six seniors compose the basic staff: the editor in chief, business manager, photog¬ raphy editor, copy editor, sports editor, and MILLES KELLOGG Business manager MARGIE KEMPE Copy editor vending manager.

Twenty-three of these members met during the third period of each day. Most of the preparation for programs was done at this time. Membership on the Radio staff follows successful application by the student. Eli¬ gibility is based upon recommendations of teachers and other staff members and a high scholastic average. Expenses of the staff were covered by the selling of football programs. Proceeds from these sales were invested in broadcasting equipment. This fund also paid the ex¬ penses of the staff trip to Chicago. Row 1: Helen Hanson, Larry Wald, Kay Holst.
