No records or files were kept of the first volunes, but they were issued every month at five cents a copy. The Vermillionaire was first printed in booklet form but in 1918 it was changed to the form we now have. The Vermillionaire staff for the first semester consisted of the following: Editor, Bob Stark: Assistant Editors, Marilyn Cotton and Mary Margaret Sanger: Editorials, Mary M. Sanger, Feature Editor, Dorothy Dunlap: Sports, Walter Scott and Bob Johnsong Photographers, Joe Trotzig and John Pardee: Business Manager, John Pardee: and adviser, Miss Carol Westaby. Reporters were Betty Barton, Helen Lockwood, Joy olz, Marilyn Horner, Shirley Benson, Shirley Strong, Ann Helstrom, Merrie Lou Conaway, and the journalism class. The set-up was changed during the second semester and Page Editors were assigned. They were Bob Stark, First Page Editor, Mary M. Sanger, Second Page Editor: Walter Scott, Third Page Editor, and Marilyn Horner, Fourth Page Editor. The reporters were then given their assignments from the page editors and each reporter had a parti- cular position to fill. Typists were Joy Golz, Phyllis Leikvold, Evelyn Christopherson, and Marilyn Cotton.
