Between the Lines The Roosevelt Standard, published each Thursday by the staff, has, for nineteen consecutive years, presented to the students a resume of the news of the week. As a staff member, one must have shown superior ability in writing in News I. Exceptional students in journalism may apply for membership in the International Quill and Scroll. Since 1928 the paper has received, for its general excellence in bringing news to the student body, an All American and National Scholastic Press Association rating. The staff, which is made up of eleventh and twelfth grade students, works fourth period every day, as well as before and after school, under the advisership of Mr. LeRoy Nielsen. In this way, they publish 3,000 copies of the Standard each week. Until 1929, the paper had been issued biweekly and sold by the subscription method. But in 1940, a new plan was devised, whereby every student receives the paper for a smaller price. Editors during the fall term were Arlene Reetz, editor-in-chief; Muriel Larson, news Lind.
