M- Wondcfg muiew HISTORY OI' THE STEINMETZ STAR On Thursday, December 14, 1935, the first STAR was published. Miss Gertrude O'Connor was the sponsor: Dorothy Westgard was the first editor, cmd the initial staff consisted of Miss O'Connor's journalism class. Since that time, the STAR has come out every other Thursday, never once missing a deadline. That is no small accomplishment when holidays or other unforeseen events interrupt the schedule. Embarking on such an adventure in the waning days of the depression when cash was scarce and the average student allowance was next to nothing, took pioneering courage. With only a few subscriptions and a general lack of advertising, it was often difficult to make ends meet. Mr. Downey was in charge of financial affairs then, until 1936, during those early days of struggle. In the first semester the stories often lacked sparkle and life, but the staff always strove for accuracy. Each succeeding semester has seen changes and improvements until at the present time over two thousand subscriptions have been realized, and the STAR has received a rating of All-American, the next to the highest rating that can be attained by prep school papers. From 1937 to 1939, the financial affairs were handled by Mrs. Erna Hege. Since then, Miss Margaret Feely has taken care of the STAR's finances, as Well as handling the semi-annual subscription drive. On the editorial side, Miss O'Connor remained in charge until Iune, 1941, when she resigned from the sponsorship. Mrs. Esther Frey took over the super- vision of the work then, and she still retains the position of literary sponsor of the STAB. A ' 'fr ,N
