Retrospect Staff for 1940 E. Killian. Miss Blankenbaker. S. Sawmiller To the senior class is given the responsibility of editing an annual. The staff is elected by the class to take charge, but each member has a part. Many headaches are encountered becuse of the numerous technicalities: an appropriate cover must be selected; advertisements sold; subscriptions taken; pictures mounted; copy written and typed; and the entire publication sent to the press. Eloise Killian and Ned Metzger were the editor-in-chief and business manager respectively. They deserve a special word of commendation for the zest they have shown. The staff and the entire senior class are grateful to Miss Blankenbaker, the faculty adviser, who has given untiring efforts to the success of our Retrospect.

Secretarial Staff There are eight members on the secretarial staff. These members are Vernon Westbay, Carolyn Stinebaugh, Esther Hibner, Evelyn Seitz, Edith Frey, Hulda Helmlinger, Mnemosyne Metzger, and Bob Krieger. These people will receive one-fourth credit at the end of the school term. The members of this staff work in the office or for some teacher everyday, as there is always something to do. They do all kind of work such as typing, ditto work, corbon copies, mimeograph copies, and many little jobs. There is the filing of important papers, the running of the ditto and mimeograph machines, and the clipping together of all test papers or other materials made out in the office. Miss Rickert, as secretary of the office, is the supervisor and she is the one who gives the staff the work to do. Each person has a certain period to work in the office each day and if there is need for more help people can be called from the study hall. If the people come into the office and there is no work to be done it is permissible for them to bring their own books to the office and do their personal work. Most of the students work in the office for experience. They can receive much valuable experience because they have to work by themselves. The staff has been one of the best secretarial staffs in Blume High School. All of the members have cooperated very well and they should receive much praise for the fine work done. C. Stinebaugh. R. Krieger. V. Westbay. M. Metzger. H. Helmlinger, E. Hibner. E. Seitz.

J. Blank, L, Werner. Miss Doty. The Lantern Staff The duty of the Lantern Staff is to inform the people of our school and city of the past, the present, and the future of Blume High’s activities. Composed of juniors and class reposters, the staff compiles the data in the Lantern, which is published weekly in the Wa-pakoneta Daily News. For the time and effort which is given, the members who have acquired a definite number of inches of printed material are rewarded with a letter. It was under the very capable leadership of Miss Doty, faculty adviser, Lura Mae Werner and Jean Marie Blank, editor and assistant, respectively, that the Lantern has had one of its most successful years.
