Editor Carl Pope chuckles with fiendish glee as he destroys Susan Braymer work calmly, oblivious of the tragedy, but sen- another piece of Ken Cohen's sparkling copy. Tom Beers and sitive editors Carol Weiss and Charles Brown offer sympathy Chauvinistic Journalists Proclaim Although fourteen staff members, three photo- graphers and twelve secretaries were allotted a per- iod a day, the job of turning out 224 pages of year- book, under a demanding, perfectionist sponsor, took much longer. In the spring, the staff had selected a theme, had decided whether or not to use glossy paper, serif or sans-serif type, and whether or not the clubs should be placed with the departments or in a separate section of the book. In the fall, work began in earnest to chronicle an entire school year in the pages of the Windup: the the copy staff grabbed pens and thesaurusg the managing staff reached for grease pencils and crop- persg and the editor agonized over pictures that would not fit, clubs that suddenly sprang into being, and nonexistent senior biographies. Financing this incredible undertaking were sales and advertising. This year the appearance of the ad pages was revamped, and the budget benefited as the yearbook adopted a new advertising policy. Ad spaces were sold in spaces of not less than a quarter page, which cost 320. The ads had more reader impact and appealg businesses were delighted with the pictures of WJ students using their prod- ucts and the copy written by the Madison Avenue aspirants on the staff. 1 12 Departments Edi N. tors: C.

The Department this year had a budget of 351,800 which was distributed to the three teachers to purchase supplies for the four Home Arts courses. The girl in Home Arts learned a little about everything, from interior decorating to caring for young children. This last unit was made possible by an arrangement with neighborhood parents who entrusted their children to the care of Home Arts classes. Home Arts 2 students went more deeply into home nursing, interior decorating and color schemes, and learning to read blueprints. The high- light for Home Arts 3 was a United Nations tea at which cookies representing every UN nation were served. WJ 's first winner in the Betty Crocker con- test, Lucy Tolson, was a student in HA 3. The de- partment also offered a course in advanced clothing design for senior girls in which they designed their own patterns and then turned them into such items of apparel as bermudas, suits and dresses.
