WHIRLIGIG staff members
started taking subscriptions for
this year’s book which sells for
$4.50, October 16 through October
22.
The art staff, headed by Charlie
Mills, is providing the pages with
lively sketches. Managing and lit
erary editors, Pat Howell and An-
gelyn Stokes, have been arranging
pictures and layouts as well as
helping all the other staff mem
bers. Miss Virginia Powell is serv
ing as adviser. The “dummy,”
blueprint of the coming WHIRLI
GIG, has been the nucleus from
which the staff works.
The business end of the staff has
been soliciting ads and sponsor
ships to reach the required quota
of $3000. The biggest project yet,
which provides the bulk of the
funds, is the sale of the year books
which is under way.
The “big secret” theme is com
ing along well, and the staff hopes
to have the book off to press in
record time. They have already
decided on a cover design, but,
according to Sue, for further de
tails, “BUY YOUR EXCITING
1958 WHIRLIGIG.”
