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.

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.
