Staffs Revise the Worrior, Publish Fifteen Tom-Toms Rewrite that story! was the familiar phrase heard as members of the journalism staff tried to improve the copy in the school newspaper and annual. This writing, proof- reading and final typing were daily tasks in putting out the tri-weekly Tom-Tom and the Warrior, but they were only a part of the year's work. Members of the staff attended conven- tions and clinics in Lincoln, Wayne and Norfolk where they acquired new ideas for the annual and paper. The new divisions, spot: coloring, and more candid pictures in the completely reorganized annual were ideas acquired at previous conventions. The TOM-TOM also took on a new look. More pictures and anew name plate was used. The TOM-TOM sponsored a creative writing contest and gave prizes of S5 to Louise Macholan for her winning story and 5133 to Bob Laugen for his winning poem. Judges for the contest were Mr. Marvin Stone and Mrs. W. B. Sadilek. ln the spring the staff organized a Quill and Scroll Society. Journalism students in the top one-third of their class who took an active interest in journalism and showed ability in yearbook and newspaper work were made ,r A 'fii 7' mf- if THE EDITORS: Gene Pokorny, the Warrior editor is responsible for the new revised annual as well as doing work on the paper Janet Pokorny spent most of her time as Tom-Tom editor and was also in charge of the Academic section of the annual. charter members.
