Wandering Reporter Sees All—Tells All By CLYDE LOOM1S Wandering
about the Lummi reservation this evening, I happened upon a happy party,
busily engaged in stuffing themselves with fried chicken. Glancing into
the group, I spied many familiar faces and found they were some of my old
cronies from the Publications staffs at their annual banquet. Among the
dignitaries, there were: CECIL THOMAS—The "hard P H Y L L I S
ARMSTRONG — boiled" editor, isn't as harsh as people claim editors
are. "Cec" as everyone calls him, took over the job as ye olde editor,
just before the Publications Prom, when the going was rough. He cracks
the whip every Thursday to get every one out of the print shop by six and
his f»v-orit saying is "Don't touch my arm—typhoid shots, you
know." RUTH BURNET —Affection ateiy called "Ma B." by cubs and
editors alike, Mrs. Burnet has the job of keeping a bunch of aspiring
young journalists on the straight and narrow. With her lefthanded
blackboard pen manship, she keeps her classes informed of deadlines,
assignments, etc. "You are the one" and "Clean out the bottles, girls"
were heard often whenever Mrs. B. was in the Collegian office. PEARL
HOFMAir—"Poil," to many, the hardworking Klipsun editor, is
sometimes given to indecisions; the refrain most often heard coming from
her lips was "should I go to class or should I skip and work on the
annual." Even her calculus hasn't suffered. Past editors may remember
their trips to the engravers in Seattle, but our Pearl remembers well the
trip to Columbus, Washington, and wayward points — with George
Dowd! PAT GRAVES-Never with-out refreshment of some kind was this gal,
Klipsun copy editor. Cokes were among the most frequent. Pat is just
another Senior hallite on the staff. She kept the public informed of
their doings at the house. RAY FJELLMAH-Ray is another convertible
owner—only his is about 1932 vintage and "passionate pink" at that
He was one of the "dutiful?" copy writers of the Klipsun and is famed
for hit unique house warmings. "Bird-dog" to her Senior hall cronies,
and Phyl to most, she's combined student teaching with managing the
finances of the Klipsun—as a result they have a little left over.
"Chief Strong Arm," she has become the "favorite of the fifth" grade on
the play field. BURT HORMAN- Owner of a big blue '46 convertible that
makes all the girls swoon, Burt seems to be held in monoply by one girl.
Workhorse of the staff, he always turned in his copy so clean—the
envy of the whole staff and pride of the copy editor. GLENNA
HAZELDINE—This red-headed Canadian has served as co-news editor for
the past two quarters. Called "Kluane" by virtune of living there, she's
noted for saying "wot" and "bean" and famous for her feature "Clementine
versus the Hootch." AL MAGNUSON—The use of postage stamps has
declined somewhat since Al w r o te "thief" on the back of each one. Our
industrious business manager must have had writers cramp when he got
through. BETTY McLEOD—This hardy perennial has become a permanent
fixture around the Klipsun. Last year's editor, she has helped Pearl with
her many Sroblems. For the first time in er college career, she got a
term paper in on time this quarter. K A T H L E E N GOLLY— "Katie"
is another student teacher who's kept up her work on both publications;
working as associate editor with Pearl fall quarter, and Collegian
society editor fall and spring quarters. Many's the time her name
appeared on the society assignment sheet—coupled with that of a
certain aspiring young politician now in the east. Katie served as
co-chairman of this years banquet and is willing to take the blame for
its success or failure. BARBARA COZZA—"Bobbie" was the vivasious
feature writ-ter and assistant business manager of the Klipsun. She wrote
her column "Campi" pretty regularly except when her papers were
burglarized. Sometimes her stuff wasn't so original, but always good for
a laugh. Next time she should use more than one exchange paper. FRANCES
F R A Z E E — To whether or not the Nipco press conference was a
success, we leave up_ to Franny. The Fra-zee family saw little of their
car Thursday nights fall and winter quarter—granges, political
meetings and an occasional show following the routine of the print shop.
PAT SOMERS —Never has one girls changed so much in so short a time.
This reporter has well earned the name of girl-shivoo— for further
info consult an Australian dictionary. Pat worked on ^ociety, straight
news and served as copy-editor. KENNY FORSETH—This big blond sports
editor was one of the best chauffers on Thursday afternoons. Many's a
time he could be seen going down High street with his car full of staff
members — girls usually! He must have some fatal charm. LEX
MILTON-He is all that is left of the Young Democrats. We hope he, too,
will find a job in Washington. As feature editor he consistantly tried to
steal reporters, space and copy. WWCOLLEGI AN THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1949
Prined as Low Class Matter in the Cox Brothers Williams Dungeon Ye Olde
Editor. , Slander Slingers- „ ^ Typist .... , , ... "Katie"
..Bobbie and Lavee „Pat, "Girl Shivoo" Advisers—Any fool dumb
enough to try to tell them anything BEVERLY GORDON —This Mount
Baker girl really has got what it takes when it comes to giving orders.
She was the culprit who as news editor, gave eveTyone such jazzy
assignments. Lavee will go down in history with her famous saying, "Who
gave me da Ba-dilla?" S H I R L E Y DICKENSEN— Darling of the music
department heads (you see, she covers the beat). "Smiles" reported for
the Collegian and is serving as editor of the Navigator. This Senior
hallite's favorite saying is "Hot Spit." Wonder where she learns such
things. BOB SAFSTON — Diligent, hard-working but always late to
class this lad served as associate editor of the Klipsun. Bob will
continue his work on the Klipsun by being n e xt year's editor. MARGLEN
SNEDDON— Marg is one of the people you have to thank for this meal
tonight. She was one of the co-chairmen of the banquet. We didn't see too
much of her on the Klipsun staff as the majority of her time is taken up
by a certain Vik. GEORGE HESS—Tryant of the copy desk, George
slaved over late copy until we were sure he was headed for a breakdown.
He fooled us though, he'd just write a nasty note on his blackboard and
go out for a short one—he just loves ice cream bars. COX
BROTHERS-Here's to the long suffering Cox Bros., Lee and Dick, who many a
night have gnawed their fingers to the elbow while waiting for errant
reporters to turn in late copy. They got mighty hungry about 7 p. m.
GLEN WOLF-The other half of the corporation of Milton and Wolf, he is
constantly looking for tired jokes to inflict upon the readers of his
column. GARY BRANDNER-Speaks softly and not too often, but wields a
wicked typewriter! Gary has been the "old dependable" of the feature
staff and is well on his way to becoming the college, students' Robert'
Benchley.PPPPP
