Fifteen issues, in all, appeared under the flag of the JOLLY ROGER. They came out in a more-or-less regular bi-weekly pattern, alter- nating with the Tamalpais Newsg each paper was distributed to both Tam and Drake on alternate weeks. During the second semester of its existence, the JOLLY ROGER was again under the edi- torship of Helen Selinger and Bob Johnson, Karolee Peters, a newcomer from a large and talented cub class of the previous semester, was elected manager, and spent the term wrestling with the problems of mailing per- mits and file cards. Members of the news staff also cooperated with Mr. Michael Lopez, out- side publicity director, in providing stories for county papers. Other major activities of the newsers in- cluded attendance at a high school journalism conference in the fall, manning of a booth at the Drake Carnival in the spring, and the pro- duction of the biggest dance in the short his- tory of Drake, the first annual Sadie Hawkins Dance, on November 30th.

Like all of Drake's other ufirstsf' the first news staff started the year facing the trying problem of having to create something from nothing, the something being a good school newspaper, and the nothing, a great lack of experience and facilities. Only four members of the staff of twelve had worked on the staff of the Tam News, the parent paper, three of whom, Helen Selinger, editor, Bob Johnson, sports editor, and Dale Lewis, manager, were given staff offices on the new paper. With the guidance of Mrs. Kathryn Martin, journalism advisor, and Mr. Jules Chourre, Tam High print shop instructor, the obstacles of creation were overcome, and throughout the first weeks of school, the staff went about acquainting itself with the news sources around Drake and acquiring paper, type charts, dummies, and every unattached typewriter in the school. An art department storage room was vacated in favor of the newsers, and uOffice 30 was born, the private sanctum of the journalists. On October Sth, the premiere issue of the JOLLY ROGER was presented to the student body, bowing with a two column, bold-face birth announcement on its first page.

I EDITORIAL STAFF Last fall, the first yearbook staff started the hard job of turning their ideas into your 1952 BUCCANEER.

Editor Elizabeth Waldie, Assistant Editor Tony Bailey, Manager Carol Kay, Sports Editor Bob Johnson, Copy Editor Earline Johnson, Photographer Dick Grechman and Copywriters Tosca Lenci, Pat Ballachy, Dave Krug, Ernest Godbe, and Helen Selinger worked hard to bring you the first and what they hope will be the finest BUCCANEER ever.
