Typewriters clicking madly, rustling papers,
editors tearing their hair and crying for just one
inch more of copy or a headline that will fit–
that's the scene that would meet anyone passing
room 16 on make-up night. Then at last, with all
work finished, an unusual calm settles over the
room, and exhausted staff members trudge home
to a long-awaited dinner. One more issue of the
"Big Injun" has gone to press.
lnjuns are proud of their publication, and
rightly so. Under the advisership of Miss Margery
Nilson, the "Big Injun" has copped highest hon–
o rs-Medalist in the Columbia Scholastic Press
Association, All-American in the National Scholas–
tic Press Association and All-State in the Empire
State School Press Association.
The In jun is also proud owner of a cha rter for
"Quill and Scroll', the national honor society of
school newspapers.
Big Injun members have also attended news–
paper confabs at Syracuse and Columbia Univer-
BIG INJUN
sities. At the CSPA conference last March, editor–
in-chief Barbara Travis and Sports Editor lawrence
Sucsy introduced speakers. Miss Nilson, who
has been asked often to speak at these confer–
ences, conducted a clinic on "Spark Up Your
Newswriting." In 1948, four staff members and
Miss Nilson traveled to the NSPA Convention at
French Lick, Indiana.
For the first time this year the "Big Injun"
has solicited advertisements from local merchants
as part of its financial support. This has been
accomplished by Fabian Englander, business
adviser to the paper.
