Managing Editor Rob Young and Ralph Weber (standing) scan the previous week’s issue. Assignment sheets are put on bulletin board Thursday mornings. Re¬ porters must have stories for inside pages in by Friday and those for outside pages are due Mon¬ day. Monday and Tuesday all stories are copy- read and sent to the printers. Proofs are re¬ turned by Wednesday afternoon. These are checked, returned, and the paper goes to press. Students working on the Crescent get experi¬ ence in all phases of newspaper work, from cover¬ ing newsbeats to proofreading their own stories.

CRESCENT STAFF MEMBERS perform some of innumerable jobs required to get paper out. Cluttered desks and tables are necessity. Richard Ryan (standing) meditates on what to do about some copy being read by Don Swift (facing CRESCENT Student newspaper goes from weakly to weekly publication of campus news After a period of almost suspended progress during the war years, John A. Royd, assistant professor of journalism, took over the reins of the Crescent and built it up to two national awards, one in 1948 and one in 1949. Recognized by the National Scholastic Press Association as an outstand¬ ing college weekly, the Crescent is seeing better days ahead. The Crescent operates on a page editor system which calls for a chief editor and assistant editors. An assistant editor is in charge of each page. The editor, Sue Dannet- tell, with her small but efficient staff, published the Cres¬ cent on every scheduled Friday during the year. In the fall quarter the assistant editors were: Bob Young, Bill Collins, Ray Lasher, Charles Greer, and Bill Cobb. Staff writers were: Jean Marshall, Walter Prickett, Lennis Gregory, Richard Schlemm, Bill Bickley, Richard Fields, and Kurt Kluger. In the winter quarter Editor Dannettell inaugurated a new system requiring three additional assistant editors. They were: Bill Bickley, Ralph Weber and Richard Fields. Staff writers during the winter quarter were: Bob Bammer, Frank Chandler, Marvin Fox, Roger Ingle, A1 Parten- heimer, Richard Ryan, Curt Scheible, Norman Stewart, Don Swift, Karen Warweg, and Mack Wise. Columnists for both quarters were Frances Jones, Jerri Steinmetz, Jeff Hays, and Bill Woods. Sam Wherry was staff photographer for the entire year. crew). Others seated left to right are: Curt Scheible, Mar¬ vin Fox, Roger Ingle, Norman Stewart, Bob Bammer, and Frank Chandler. Main job for these potential Winchells and Peglers is reporting news interestingly and accurately. EDITOR SUE DANNETTELL (above) checks some ad measure¬ ments with Charles Van Winkle, business manager. Miss Dannettell, appointed editor for the year by the Publica¬ tions Committee, has endless worries. Responsibility of seeing that paper meets deadline every Friday rests on her shoulders. She has been on the staff for two years. 26
