if Ft f Windup Business Stall When putting out a publication, money can be a problem. The Windup's special Business Staff is responsible for taking care of finances, selling, and distributing the yearbook. Nancy Hewitt, business editor, began super- vising the campaign for advertisements in June, l958. Representatives spent their sum- mer visiting commercial establishments in the area to persuade their owners to advertise in the 1959 Windup, With the student salesmen were assistant editors Gretchen Golze and Pat Hanavan who helped Nancy with business details. They are important, not only in ar- ranging for the financing, but for the promo- tion of good will and a friendly attitude toward Walter Johnson by the area merchants. January marked the beginning of an earnest campaign to encourage the students to reserve their yearbooks with either full or partial payment at the bank. Mary Lee Reavis, a regular bank teller, was put in charge of this program. Money from subscriptions for year- books provided about three-fourths of the total cost. Enigmatic messages, drawings, cartoons, salutations and initials galore were contained in the dots, whose sale also aided in paying for the Windup, as did contributions from kindly sponsors. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Evelyn D. Wittman, the Business Staff has kept the year- book budget evenly afloat.

'A X V 3 t l I JPL-'CTA To f K The Spectator staff The Spectator Proofread that copy carefully! was a fa- miliar sound ringing forth from Room ll2 where ten students were working industriously to complete the l959 Spectator. Under the direction of Miss Margaret Kauffman, the staff worked regularly morn- ing, noon, and night tclub periods as welll in order to put out the literary magazine of which WJ students are justifiably proud. Since all aspiring authors strive to see their names in print, the Spectator effectively carries out its chief purpose, which is to encourage creativity in the fields of art, music, and writing. The material in the periodical is culled from creative writing in all the English classes, organized by the staff, and published in mag- azine form. The Spectator contains composi- tions by students of Walter Johnson who have achieved local or perhaps national recogni- tion. The short stories, poems, and essays in- cluded in the magazine are illustrated by a,rt work from the art classes. ln addition to the one annual Spectator, which appears toward the close of the school year, four or five mimeographed pamphlets, entitled Steeles, containing prose and poetry of special merit, is distributed through the English classes. Steeles started just this past winter. The staff which assembled Spectator and Steeles included juniors and seniors who were selected for their outstanding ability. They were: Bruce McDonald, editor, Kris Glaser, Karen Weinschel, Lynn Whitman, Janet Barnes, Sally Chaney, Davis Dassori, Joan Fournier, Joan Pace, and Dorothy Wheeler. Barbara Abraham and Rudy Heintze were co-art editors.

Wittman, has the monumental task of planning, designing, and assembling the yearbook. Editor Dave Thomas, with his assistant Kay Ransdell, coordinated the various departments such as layout, copy, photography, and art work into a smoothly functioning whole. Working directly under him was Associate Editor Barbara Abraham, who, with her two assistants Grace Wassmer and Anne Middle- ton, was in charge of all copy in the Windup. Her primary job was to post assignments for her staff of fourteen reporters, copyread and rewrite their articles, and get them ready for final publication. Before she could even start this job, how- ever, the groundwork had to be laid by Jim Ritchie, managing editor, and his assistants Gail Yano and Anne Emery. Starting late last year, they began work designing the layout of the yearbook, One of the most important parts of a good yearbook is its pictures. Brad Welfare, as pho- tography editor, and John Mittendorf, who helped him, took care of getting snapshots of all important school events and activities, while the art editor, Marilyn Palik, with her three assistants, did all the illustrations, Last but not least were the indispensable editorial secretaries, Kathy Jenks and Vicki Pollack, who willingly worked long hours to type the material for the yearbook. For many of these students who planned to enter some phase of journalism, valuable practice and experience working under a deadline was gained by serv- ing on the Windup editorial staff.
