VERS TENTI-l YEAR After the writers have returned with their stories, the copy is copyread, names checked, okayed by the editors, and sent to the printer. The copy returns in the form of galley proofs. These are proofread, cut up, and pasted onto the dummy layout forms as they will appear when printed. TOWER members are not so hard at Work that they cannot find time for a little recreation now and then. Together with the HILLTOPPER staff, they plan and give the annual Christmas and Spring Birthday parties for the staffs and Iournalism classes. Also, many TOWER and HILLTOPPER staff members attend the Indiana High School Press Association at Franklin, and the But- ler Iournalism Field Day at Butler Univer- sity. s TOP PICTURE STANDING-William Welch, Rita Miller, Carolyn Schuster, Mary Iune Stultz, Ann Fennell, Mary Tor- rence, Charlotte Walton, Charlot Thorne, Ianice Samp- son, Barbara Larnb, Dean Morrow.

TI-IEREKS A LONG, LONG TRAIL A-WINDING Climb up the winding staircase and end panting in the cloudy reaches of the I-IILLTOPPER room. There staff members prepared the book which you are now reading. Work on the book began early in the spring-as soon as staff members had been appointed. Regular Monday staff meetings were held until such important items as the cover, general theme, and the new side binding were settled. Early in the fall, the annual HILLTOPPER assembly was given, with a chorus line composed of the male members of the staff, and a vocal chorus made up of the girls of the staff. All the students were given hints as to what this masterpiece would be like, and then it was time for the business managers to get busy. Subscriptions were sold under the leadership of Harold Crawford, business manager, and his assistant, Iudy Wear. A student agent was appointed in each homeroom and everyone Was given the opportunity to order a copy of the 1949 I-IILLTOPPER. Two dances, the Spring Swing and the Brown and Gold, were given to help with the finances. Not that danc- ing was work, but decorating for the affairs certainly was not what one might consider an afternoon of leisure. Anita Strahl was the first to start working with the home- room pictures and identifications. All homeroom pictures had to be taken Cand some retakenl after they had been planned. Anita then had the job of deciphering the hand- writing of the many I-Ioweites who were in a hurry when they wrote their lohn I-Ienry's.
