The school year of 1954-55 might well be termed as the transitional age for the Webb School newspaper-the Oracle. This year the paper has undergone a complete overhaul and has come out successful. As is typical of all new things, this year's Oracle staff began not knowing what to expect. The editors had gotten some big ideas and the staff were to put them into being. They tackled what seemed the impossible. They were going to make the paper bigger and better. It had been said in criticism of the old paper that by the time it came out, the news was stale but the editors wanted the change. So they decided to put it out more frequently. To the average on-looker this object of remaking a paper would seem simple, but this is far from the truth. It requires a lot of work on the part of a lot of boys and fortunately these boys were available. They went the second mile to see that the other students enioyed a better paper. Often this meant that they must sacrihce something, but they realized that work must come before play and that getting out a paper is more important than playing a game. At first this idea of a different paper was a novelty and Page 60 was interesting and inviting but as each issue rolled OH the presses the boys on the staff realized that it was no game. They found that the job required consistent efforts on the part of all, There could be no loafing, for one department was dependent on another. In this constant service was found a group of boys that deserve much more credit than they got. Undoubtedly many of those who gave of themselves will never be publicly rewarded, but their work will always be seen in the fine papers they put out. And so we pay tribute to all of those boys who went into a new and difficult job and came out successful. We lahd each one from editor to writer, from typist to distributor. They all made up a part of a machine which could not have run without them. Webb School has long had its newspaper but will End it hard to obtain a better group than these. In the past they had a precedent to follow and references for guidance. This year the staff depended on their own initiative. And so this group leaves to those of next year its record, hoping that they may profit from this year's mistakes and make next year an even better Oracle.
