The editor-in-chief and the business manager are elected the preceding year by the juniors, and the other seven are elected by the seniors at the beginning of their senior year. The book is being financed without dues or advertisements. The class de- pends entirely upon the sale of books at one dollar and fifty cents a copy and profits from milk and confections sold at noon and at athletic contests. In previous years each senior paid dues and was given two yearbooks. This is the first year for the new plan which necessitates that each senior buy his annual, but no dues are paid. The cost of the Valenian is between $1100 and $1200. Each member of the staff devotes an average of one period a day to this work until the book is com- pleted. No credit is given for this work, but at the end of the year an award is granted to those who have completed their tasks well. Last award day mono- grams were given to Jack Kuhn, James Howard, Frances White, Margaret Mc- Gillicuddy, Bernard Howard, Rosemary Koch, and Janet Shauer. The same em- blem was sent to the family of the late Robert Johnsen. Last year the Valenian was granted a first class honor rating, excellent, by the National Scholastic Press Association and Quill and Scroll.

This group has been trained in the principles and technique of news writing in the previous semester in jour- nalism I. Each fall the new staff ' s first duties are to seek advertisements, put on a subscription campaign, and have a first issue ready for distribution by the end of the third week. In making the budget the staff counts on about $450.00 from advertisements and $225.00 from subscriptions. The paper sells for fifty cents a school year or thirty-five cents a term. The staff tries to cover all of the school activities so that the paper will give a complete picture of school life in V. H. S. There are sixteen issues dur- ing the year, and if time and money permit an extra senior paper is put on the last day of school. Second Semester Staff Top. left to right: Virginia Paul.
