STAFFERS CARRY ANNUAL TO PRINTERS
Students Tour Plant
While in Charlotte
On February 14 the last minute
details of the ’52 Whirltgiig were
rushed to Charlotte’s Lassiter
Press Corporation, printers of the
All-American annual. Accompany
ing the last of the captions and
pages were Betty Jane, editor;
Mose Kiser, business manager;
Pat Gregg, junior editor; Tommy
Fesperman, sports editor; Miss
Virginia Powell, advisor; and
Frank Matlock, High Life photo
grapher, who took pictures of the
trip.
who took the pictures of the trip.
By 3:05 p.m. the hundred miles
had been covered. Mr. Fleming,
Lassiter Press’s representative
who has helped the staff with var
ious problems this year, wel
comed the group.
Miss Powell, Betty Jane Davis,
and Mr. Fleming set right to work
inserting the past pictures and
pages into the “dummy” Whirligig.
After these last details were
taken care of, Mr. Fleming person
ally conducted a tour through the
plant, patiently explaining the
different machines and the func
tions of each. Then the staff saw
their own Whirligig plates, which
were ready to set in place, coated
with ink, and put to work.
Continuing on the tour Mr.
Fleming showed the staff mem
bers one of the Whirligig division
pages which had been printed in
various shades. The exact shade
was then decided on. i
There was also a peek at the
Carolina annual, Yackety Yack, as
it was going to press. As the mem
bers of the staff looked on, Mr.
Fleming explained in detail all
the varied processes of printing—
both in black and white and in
color. The group learned also that
annual pages are printed eight
pages at a time on a large sheet of
paper. This paper^is then flipped
over and eight pages are printed
on the other side. The engraved
plates for eight pages are placed
with much precision in position for
printing. This process was watched
closely by the staff. They saw the
man whom Lassiter Press com
petitors and Lassiter Press itself
claims to be the best in the busi
ness. He was inserting Yackety
Yack plates with precision to the
decimal point.
Lassiter Press prints many year
books, magazines, and cellophane
wrappers. They also have a litho
graphing division, with which they
print a few yearbooks and many
magazines. This is a much cheaper
process than is used by the Whirli
gig, but it works fine for maga
zines and programs.
Yackety Yack, Pine Needles, the
Woman’s College annual, and
Agramack, the N. C. State annual,
are only a few of the leading year
books printed by Lassiter.
The trip was enjoyed very much
by all, and much knowledge was
gained that will greatly aid the
further work on the Whirligig in
years to come.

Editors Numerous
On High Life Staff;
Winstead Fourth
It seems that the High Life room
is fairly popping at the beams be
cause of a surplus of editors..
These avid printer’s devils include
Henry Ferrell, editor of High Life;
Steve Leonard, his capable assist
ant; La Rue Winstead: and Martha
Moore, make-up editor.
La Rue Winstead, step up for an
introduction to the student body
of G. H. S. As a recent transfer
student from Bailey High School,
La Rue reluctantly surrendered
her position of editor-in-chief of
the Bailey Bugle, a monthly mim
eographed publication, when she
moved to Greensboro two weeks
ago. Her new home is with her
sister at 219 South Eugene Street
The seventeen year old senior Miss
had laid plans to enter Kin-
Business College after her gradua
tion in May. La Rue’s opinion of
Senior students is beyond compare.
“I think they are more friendly
up here than anywhere I’ve ever
been.” She won’t have much time
' to be homesick for the Bailey
Bugle, for Mr. Underwood has
placed her name on the High Lite
masthead and that means WORK.
Leonard. Journalist
Steve Leonard’s Journalistic ca
reer dates back to his junior high
school days when he was editor
of the Proximity School publica
tion as well as president of the
student body. The well-known
member of Torchlight also serves
as secretary-treasurer of Quill and
Scroll. He declares that he is “ex
tremely fond of invective journ
alism. My main gripe is writing
headlines, and I occasionally have
frequent outbursts of anger prompt
ed by the writing of headlines. My
chief job is being the Jack of all
trades and master of none for the
other staff members. I am the oc
casional victim of the advisor’s
whim, but enjoy the plight.”
Henry Ferrell began his career
in journalism in 1950 when he en
rolled in Mr. Underwood’s journ
alism class. From a position of the
advertising staff he rose to the
editorship of the 1951-52 High Life.
In addition to his varied duties
as editor, he is presiding officer
of Quill and Scroll.
Moore Manipulates
Martha Moore, make-up editor,
moved to Greensboro in the Fall
of 1951 from Hendersonville. Be
fore her change of residence she
had been elected to serve as
sistant editor of the Red and
White, her alma mater’s news
paper. Her journalistic interests
extend to the Greensboro Record
for which she writes the city school
news.
If you hear of any newspaper
that is begging for an editor, please

notify Sam J. Underwood in room
10. At times he would be eager
to get some of his editors from
under foot. However, no guarantee
goes with the product.
