Comet Newspaper For West we will! With that motto in mind, the Comet newspaper, under the capable manage- ment of Editor Don Ramaker, has again come to the fore in presenting a series of interesting ac- counts of student activities during the past year. But just what goes on behind the scenes to make the Comet the finished and complete paper the students enjoy? All contributions received in the Comet office must be approved by either leanette Stottrop, Mary Ann Druml, or Marcella Eisenberg. Then one of the many expert typists makes a typed copy of the story. Eagle-eyed proof-readers scan the article for any possible mistakes and finally, Editor Eamaker gives it a headline and puts his stamp of approval on it. Excited activity prevails in the Comet office on Fridaysp for that is the final day for any stories to be accepted, heads to be written, and all proof- reading to be completed before the paper goes to press. On the following Monday, the galley sheets are returned for a final checking. On Tuesday, the Comet, now a finished product, comes back to be folded, preparatory to circu- lation the next day. With the aid of a skilled and competent staff, Editor Ramaker was able to make this year's paper one of the best. Handling the news assignments, leanette Stot- trop proved her abilitiy as news editor, While Mary Ann Druml efficiently took the position of desk editor. The sports page was capably edited by Paul Hassett, while Sol Wexler made an ex- cellent associate editor. The feature page was handled by Marcella Eisenberg, as feature editor, while all club news passed through the hands of Beatrice Erbach, club editor, succeeding Harry Levine in whom the Comet lost ot loyal Worker and friend. Handling money and subscriptions was the Work of Ruth Fischback, as business manager. Capably assisting her were Arlene Lodde as circulation manager and Pearl Murphy as adver- tising manager. This year's faculty advisory board included the Misses lane Cloud, Esther Milner and Florence Whittaker of the English department and Miss Lucy DeWolfe and Mr. George Carlson of the commercial department.
