Shuff, Carmichael Co-Ed
If you have noticed a dhanige
in the masthead of this palper Say
ing that Margaret Carmichael and
Claik Lee Shuff were co-edlitors,
don't think yiou’re reading the
wrong papeir, it’s only because the
juniiors put ouit this Issue.
A junior memiber with an asafis-
tant had charge of each six pages.
1 hey .are 'as follows: page one,
Sauiidra Wiggins and Margaret
Strickland; page two, Clark Lee
Shuff and 3Iargaret Carmichael;
page three, Ann Adkins and Pat
Itoardon; page four. Herb Allred
and Bobbie Slireve; page five, Al
len Casey and Bobby Jones; and
page six, Burt White and Jane
Crnmpler.
Junior staff mem/bers hiad charge
of writiinig all the stories and
headlines, determining cuts, mak-
Img layouts, and takdmg the pages
to the pitoter. Alitiliaugh Mrs. Young
wasn’t ^le to help them put out
the paper, due to the illness ot
her mother, they were under the
ctose watch of the senior mcmibers
who occasionally iended a helming
hand.
'The juniiors also had charge of
etting the adreirtlsdng and mak-
iinig ad layouits. This work was
headed by Jane Grumpier who ia
regularly the assistant advertising
manager.
Being in chiairge of the putting out
of this ifilsue of the paper by them-
selTCs has beten 'an experience
for the junior amembers, but it is
agreed by all of .them that Sit had
been valuatole as well because
many of them will have the Job
