N the fall, with the opening of school, the organization ol the newspaper staff takes place. This year Evelyn Tot .ke and Katherine Krajacu were chosen Co l.dit- ors because of their previous experience in newspaper work. 'The staff was some- what lacking in experience but they made up for this deficiency with enthusiasm and as the year progressed, they gained in experience. Standing: Outer. Mint» Thursby.

Hass Karly in November, the National Scholastic Press Association Convention was held in Chicago, at the Stevens Hotel. The Co-Editors, chaperoned by Miss Thursby, attended this worth-while meeting all the three days. They received many helpful ideas and suggestions which they began to put to work upon returning home. As a result, we saw a different type front page and headline, new feature columns, and more illustrations in the advertisements. All of these added variety and interest. Closely akin to our newspaper work is our work on the Annual. I'his Annual is a tremendous project for a school of our size, but we have attempted to come pin r twenty

through with Hying colors. However, with each year comes the problem of deciding just who is to do the printing, engraving, and such as that. We gave our contracts to Jahn Ollier Company, Qillege Print Shop, and Mr. Frank. The making of an annual is not an easy, but rather a difficult task, which takes time and work by the staff members. One of the first steps after the pictures have returned from the photographer is to cut them to a certain specified size. This is sometimes difficult and it ends in a debate as to whether to cut off all the excess from the feet or from the top. 1 he catastrophe of the year happened when we snipped off the heads of the Juniors and had to send for a new picture of them. The next step is the mounting of the pictures. The space is then marked off on white paper. Rubber cement (an adhesive material especially suited for this work) is then applied over the entire surface and the picture is placed in the proper place. All excess rubber cement which might cling to the edges is easily rubbed off. The only disadvantage of working with this material is the penetrating odor which is disagreeable. After the pictures have been mounted and sent off to the engravers, we set about writing the stories. Here the work is more evenly divided and each has his assigned story to write. The major task then falls upon the shoulders of the Co-Edit- ors when the typing is done. So many words to a line, so many spaces for this, and so on are the thoughts running through their minds. When this is done, our work is done. We hate to see our journalistic year come to a close, hut it has been a worth-while one. We are looking forward eagerly to a new year. page tircnty-oiic
