Miller cc 'News' EELERV' A pica rule slams on the deslc as the harried Editor-in-Chief cries for assist- ance. Seconds later, a squad of eager young Freshmen are at his desk, waiting to fulfill his every wish. Nearby, the Editorial Editor is remalcing his layout for the fifth time in one issue, trying desperately to avoid copying any one of the layouts of the last thirty years. A few diehard reporters are still grinding out their stories, and the Managing Editor is turn- ing out headline after headline-each one a bit more impossible than the one before. The faith- ful Copy Editor, finding himself with no copy to read, resorts to a vigorous game of 'News' base- ball. About 10 p.m. or so, someone announces that he is hungry, and before long the entire staff is piling into a small, gray Vauxhall for the evening trip to the Shoppes. It will be another all night deadline. Despite the sometimes casual attitude of this year's staff, the paper always came out, more or less on schedule, and even won a Medalist rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's annual contest. The 'News' scored 960 points out of a possible 1,000-17 points higher than the previous year's score. Hopefully, this year's 'News' provided the School with a first-class publication. But just as important, it gave a dedicated group of boys an opportunity to work together and ro learn about journalism. -MARK HALLER 96 ACTIVITIES 1963

Cooper Albanian ARLY IN THE School year: Well I feel that this year's ALBANIAN can be the best one ever published in the School's history. So, any of you guys who want to be on this year's staff, please see me after the meeting. Later in the School year: Q'One hundred and sixty-four pages, huh. Yeah, we've added a new Academics section this year. It's supposed to help the reader to get a greater picture of the School,s lifef, Early spring: Say, what are all these Underclassmen doing working on the ALBANIANT' Q'This year, we are trying to get the Underclassmen to have greater interest in the yearbook: eventually it may even rival the 'Newsi as a School publication. In addition, a competitive system for getting the high posts on the staff has been introduced. A bit later: Where are those sports stories, Symo? Aw, they're being typed up by Cooper and Kittlerf' Nsay Peter, you finished all the biographies yet? Idiot, I put them in your box. Can,t you find them? Chris, how about the features?'7 Features? Oh yeah, features. Say how's the Chinlc history homeworlc?,' Any more ads, Tom? UNO!! The last stand: Q'You know what? This is going to be a pretty good ALBANIAN after all. -JAY WHITEHEAD 98 ACTIVITIES 1963
