Thursday, February 9, 1939 VISITORS FROM COPELAND The "Our Club" of the senior class of Copeland high school visited The Tribune ofice last Thursday afternoon to see how a weekly newspaper is printed. We had the honor of showing them around, and after we had explained every thing we know about the business, they still didn't know anything about the business. In fairnes to the students, And it's really not our fault t about it than we do, because a ing around newspapers for morel than 12 years. You can't expect a fellow like us to learn much In that time. r The chief point of interest for our visitors were the linotypes. The operator, once the crowd had gathered around, mounted his chair and launched into a speech, but before he got through the students were more concerned about stopping him than getting the linotype started. After about 15 minutes the op erator paused a moment to get his breath, and in that instant we managed to steer the boys and girls over to the big press where they all rested for a moment to I get over the efect of the linotype I operator's speech. While they * were resting we hopped up on a step of the press and launched into a speech of our own, and when it was over one of the stu dents remarked to her teacher how wonderful it was that a newspaper office could keep sheets of paper in their place with £0 much hot air blowing about. When the tour was concluded the students asked to see the man they had heard always went running around -with a monkey wrench in both hands hunting for loose nuts. Being the only loose nut around at the time, we told them it was surprising he wasn't at our coat tail, and then forgot all about Ott as we escort ed them to the door where they stopped to don their coats and wraps. And that's when we found Ott. Seems that when the students came in they mistook him for a coat rack, and before he could tell them better they had him covered with hats and coats. ■fpagg' Everything EraaSoapbMi 11» CtOBMHb (NmiM «tMt two IMMM mi-r.
