Putting- out a nev/spaper includes a
great many interesting steps each week.
To start a paper you must first have
a front page that is attractive and
will interest people® To do this a
cartoon or a picture of some kind is
drawno After it has been approved by
Miss V/aterbury, our faculty advisor,
it is put on a stencil by means of the
mimoscope. After this the front pago
is put on the mimeographing m.achine.It
is run off on slieets of paper - . ^nd . •
placed in stacks by the mimeographers
(one of our staff). This finishes the
front page*
Then we start the news pag«s and
literary page. First the composing staff
counts the articles handed in by the
staffs After this is done the number of
lines the article takes up is placed on
the dummy sheet in the position it will
appear in the paper when it is published.
After the dummy page has been approved by Miss Watei-bury it ifi put on
a stencil by "uke typist. Then
these
pages are put on the mimeographing machine and it goes through the same pro cedura as the front page^ After all of
the pages are done we start putting it
together, A group of people form in a

Have you ever read Seventeen
by
Booth Tarkington? It's one of those rare
humorous books v/ritben about boys of
seventeen. V/illiam is seventeen and at
the age when he. is undecided as
to
whetkhr girls are fickle or just plain
dumb. He is jiHt comfortably
walking
down the street with his latest girl
friend when his sister,pops up
and
confronts him with the m.uddiest face and
hands he has -erver seen] Horrors upon
horrors she actually calls him "Willie"J
Naturally he pretends a cr.se of mistaken identity. Who wouldnH?
About half an ^^^vf later "Willie"
has a showdown with his mother about the
way his little sister should be dressed
and taken care of. Poor mothers, they
never get any credit for managing
the
house and children's manners without
being called down about hav younger
children should be dressed.
At
t hi s
point nis "darling little sister" starts
crying, so poor "Willie" gives up in
dispair, •
For one of the most riotously funny
books in years, try Seventeen by Booth
Tarkington. You're sure to like it.
