Standing: Patsy Mitchell, Merle Holden, Pat Yergcr, Barbara Joly, Molly Jones. % From early in the morning until late in the afternoon the members of the Business Staff could be found busily attending to their numerous jobs. Each week they took charge of the distribution of the Acorn and other publication details. In addition to these weekly duties, the staff members supervised the handling of all senior pictures and the distribution of the Upi'Dah and Oak. Under the direction of Clayton K. Shenk, the faculty advisor, the twenty'Six girls did a notable job in making the publications department run smoothly. Much of the success of the three publications was due to the business manager, Pat Mitchell, and her managing staff. The staff included Merle Holden, advertising manager; Ellen Hoffman, circulation manager; Lois Adam. Oak manager; and Claudette Devine, assistant advertising manager. One of the most familiar phrases that could be heard coming from Room 4 was, “We have to get more subscriptions or publications will stop!” Although the Business Staff had limited funds, careful management produced three successful publications for U.D.

Upi-Dah. The January edition of the Upi-Dah, Upper Darby's semi-annual magazine, illustrated the modernistic theme of television. This literary magazine, which was initiated in 1916, is the oldest U.D.H.S. publication. The Upi-Dah gives students a chance to express their talents as they depict high school life through original stories, essays, poems, and art work. Many of the manuscripts are contributed by students who arc not members of the literary staff. In each issue, four seniors who have been outstanding in their work, arc honored in the Fidelis section. The Upi-Dah is under the faculty supervision of Miss Edith Gaukrodgcr and art supervision of Miss Elizabeth Kingsley. Every Monday night the literary staff, directed by Harriet Jckofsky, editor, and Jacqueline Perez, assistant editor, met to read, discuss, criticize, and select manuscripts to be used for publication. The contri- butions of the art editor, Carol Whiteley, and those of her staff added greatly to the success of this year’s magazines.

Keane, art editor and W. Benedict, art advisor. The sight of ink on his hands, the smell of turpentine and oil paint in the air, the hearing of the command. “Get it in on time!'', and the feeling of pride for work published—these arc the reactions that stimulate the senses of a member of the Publications Art Staffs. All illustrations for the Upi'Dah were selected on a competitive basis. Members of the Oak Art Staff received assignments for their topics. The cartoons in the Acorn were done by Walt Benedict and Art Editor Bud Keane exclusively. Peggy Ewing headed the Oak Art Staff and Carol Whitcley, Upi'Dah. All art work published was passed by Miss Kingsley, advisor to all staffs. Final judgment of the artists work came only after the publications were circulated and the school voiced its opinion.
