PAPLll LANTLQN EFORE the Junior College came to the Normal School, neither that institu- tion or the Teachers College had had a regular publication. When the two colleges began the fall term, the question of a joint publication was taken up. It, was thought by those in charge that. a paper could be put out selni-occasionally, but they did not take account of the pep and ability in the two colleges. The Paper Lantern, for this was the name given the paper, has appeared with clocklike regularity t'or thirty-one issues, and was not only self-supporting, but left nearly one hundred dollars profit in the school treasury. It also put out several special tthoosterH editions to advertise the college. Two of the students desel've'the greater part of the credit for the success of The Paper Lantern. They are Ahny Harding and George P. Wilson. Almy Harding. as editor-in-chiet', was the one who gave the weekly publication its start. He had had a great, deal of expereince before he came to Junior College, and spared no effort. to make The Paper Lantern a real college paper. George P. Wilson, as business and advertising manager, was responsible for the finan- cial success of the paper. Advertising was his hobby, and it was through his efforts that The Paper Lantern was able to support itself and turn surplus funds over to the school. Those who helped to found the weekly are: Mary Greiner, Helen Snow, Allyn Wright, Evelyn Brownell. Ada Bickmore. Ben Rottman, Henry McCarty, Hi Dillon, Catherine Coggins. Eliabeth Hoopes. Evangeline Kerr, Margaret De Laughter, Mildred Rayhourn, Lucy Maude 0rd, Gladys Riggle7 Mary Brown, Mary Jean Love and Fred Reichel. The Paper Lantern is financed by the budget and is given to every student as a part of the student body dues paid upon his entrance. It has played an important part in school life. in sports, and in society. It has also been of material aid in advertising various forms of school activity. such as the spring play. To advertise this production over three thousand copies were distributed about the city. The. staff has undergone vai'ious changes. but the paper has always come out regularly. When Almy Harding was made editor of the Annual, Henry McCarty was appointed editor of The Paper'Lantern. George P. Wilson left school and Gladys Riggle took over the, business and advertising duties. It is hoped that next year credit will be given for work 011 the paper; and that the staff may be enlarged and the size f'o'f the publication may be increased from time to time. Page Twelve
