712 11 ww. f-at my .J 1 gressive. AQ WE FALL TERM, 1913 '13 HE Fall term of 1913 saw great progress in the Academic 1 V Herald. Before that time the paper was a sixteen-page f affair, poorly edited, and, beyond a few cuts for headings F31 ll QU of departments, was utterly devoid of cartoons and illustra- tions. The circulation was remarkably small considering the size of the student body, and the paper was decidedly unpro- Then Miles M. Sherower became editor. Immediately things boomed. The first important change effected by the energetic lllr. Sherower was the increase in the size of the paper to thirty-two pages, twice its former volume. He inserted cartoons, headings for the ath- letic departments and other pictorial features. Notwithstanding the more than doubled expenses involved in these improvements, Mr. Sherower retained the low price of five cents per copy for the magazine. To do this, it was necessary to secure a vastly greater amount of advertising than the Herald had ever before containedg and it must be said in credit to Mr. Sherower that he himself, notwithstanding his manifold editorial duties, did almost all of the soliciting. The student body responded warmly to these salutary efforts, and the circulation swelled to twice its original size. Financially and otherwise the Herald enjoyed a prosperity hitherto undreamed of by even the most ardent of Harris journalists. Mr. Sherower now executed a masterstroke. At the end of the term, in February, 1914, he published a sixty-four page Herald that was rife with the fmest material he could secure, regardless of expense and difficulty. lt was this magnificent issue which brought the Herald recognition by the other high-school papers of the entire country. The Academic Herald was and is now on a plane with the best of them.

SPRING TERM, 1914 ,,,v-5,3 T was left to the present staff to take advantage of the N , insistence of financial embarrassments to hinder it, to make Q the paper artistically perfect. The Academic Herald left by the preceding staff was, in its way, a good paper, but there were serious faults. The dummying was imperfect, the arrange- ment almost barbaric in taste, and the typographical errors in some issues were overwhelming. In these respects the Herald attained a notoriety that was distinctly depreciative. It was the task of Ralph Arcaro and his associates to improvise remedies to introduce an arrangement that was not a derangement and to minimize typo- graphical mistakes. This the staff has nobly done and, in so doing, has accomplished the complete regeneration of the Academic Herald. 71 financial security it was heir to, and Without the nagging Speaking collectively, it was the staff that did it, it was inevitable that every man on the staff should contribute something to this end. The staff of a paper, however, can be epitomized in one word: the Editorls name. It was Arcaro who directed the Academic Herald, who piloted it through the many inclemencies of the journalistic ele- ments. Tt was Arcarois individuality that molded the Work and stamped it with the brand of quality. NVhatever the Herald accom- plished was due to his having loaded, directed and primed the guns. The assistance he received from his associates was, however, inval- uable. Mr. Seadler's experience, Messrs. Forgioneys, Hahn's and Gershvin's contributions, all tended to round out and polish the efforts of the Editor. The Academic Herald staff that leaves this june may well pride itself upon its achievements.
