Donald had been copy and make-up editor, and Helene had been news editor previous to their appoint- ments. Donald's first issue was the April Fool's Issue, which caused many people to hold their sides with laughter. The paper was written up with everything in it ialse, and was printed in a crazy fashion on pink. yellow and orange paper. Neither semester did the Times have quite a one-hundred percent subscription in the school, but there were many outside subscribers. The exchange list num- bers three hundred.
