April 19. 1928 No. 22 Our School Paper “The Orange and Black , official school paper of Troy High, first came to light early in November 1927. Principal C. A. Gillilan conceived the idea of purchasing a duplicating machine somewhat on the nature of the well-known Mimeograph , to be used in the print ing. A machine known as the Letter-graph was finally chosen, at a cost of only $35. A staff was selected by the English de partment from the student body with Velma Johnson as Editor-in-Chief. Gladyce Sheets and Hazel Conley. Associate Editor, and Mildred Runnion as Business Manager, taking its name from the school colors. Mr. Morrison, head of the English de partment. served voluntarily as Faculty Advisor and Censor of the publication during the first semester, and was elected to that position by the student body at the beginning of the second semester. It has been his duty, in that capacity, to see to it that news material truly reflecting the spirit and life of the school, be given to the public- Each week he has had to devote much time and energy to seeing to it that the reporters do their work as as signed, and that enough material be secured to fill the space in the paper. Not a single week's issue has missed publication or distribution because of lack o preparation of the copy . Mr. Gillilan. who was elected Faculty Business Manager for trie second semester, has had charge of furnishing the material supplies, such as ink. paper, and stencils, and has taken care of the financial affairs of the publication. As Editor-in-Chief for the entire school year. Velma Johnson has been subjected to all the trials and tribulations imaginable that might come up. from the running down” of tardy staff members to the irate disapproving frowns of the Faculty Censor, as he slashes” through the copy or harangues for more material and more speed . Those who occupied various positions on the staff for either or both semesters were as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Velma Johnson: Associate Editors. Gladyce Sheets. Hazel Conley, and Clarice Root; Athletic Editors. Sam Baker and Harold McBride: Faculty Censor Mr. A. R. Morrison: Business Managers Mr. Gillilan and Mildred Runnion: Assistant Business Manager.
