Three representatives were appointed by the president of each class, club, and organization in South to attend a meeting held for the purpose of talking over the feasibility of the project. After some debate and after the consent of the principal had been secured, the delegates proceeded to elect a staff for the spring term. Two faculty advisors were obtained, business and literary. After these initial steps had been taken, the course to be pursued was decided upon, and the staff entered upon its duties. On April 5, 1916, the first issue, a modest sheet of four columns, made its ap- pearance and was well received by the school. Distinctive features were the small headlines, and the outline type used in the name. ln an article which appeared in The Minneapolis Journal the next day, favorable comment was made regarding the make-up of the paper. The paper continued to improve as the editors gained more knowledge of the art of editing a newspaper, and on June Sth, the staff flashed forth its masterpiece, a six-column paper filled with a great variety of school news, all of which was exceptionally well written. This was the last issue of the semester. The paper had become a pronounced success, and, barring an occasional differ- ence of opinion between the editors and the facuty advisors as to what should go into the editorial columns and what should not, everything progressed very har- moniously. ln the fall of 1916, a class in journalism, taught by Miss Ferguson, was organized. The new course proved a success from the start. The entire literary section of the staff together with a number of students who had had no previous experience brought the total enrollment up to 30, and a thorough study of newspaper construction and writing was begun. That this course was highly beneficial is shown by the im- proved paper put out in the second semester. The publication was changed from a four to a live column paper, and received favorable mention on all sides. Besides having a great variety of news, one, two, or more attractive feature stories appeared in every issue, those most prominent being, 4'Do You Know Your Teacher, uOlaf's Letters to the Editorfl MThe Opportunity Boys, and '6Air Clock Man Has Time to Talk. The Southerner has met the needs of a school body of over 1,500 students, has disseminated the news of the school throughout not only the community, but the entire country, and has proved itself the happy medium for welding a large student body into a unified, progressive whole. With the foundation We now have, and with a fine editorial staff in office, The Southerner should grow and improve until it has become one of the finest high school newspapers in the country. l2I!I
