Show To the Victor Each of the three publications at Weber has, during the last year, received high national recognition-the Signpost and Scribulus receiving Ail-American ratings, and the Acorn receiving a first-class award, second only to one other American Junior College yearbook. It is with hopeful though apprehensive eagerness that each editor awaits the arrival of the certificate which is the final pronouncement of the success or failure of his brain child. Visualize, therefore, the reactions of editors Demos, Coray, and Johnson when they received the news of the high rank of their 1941 publications. Th N. S. P. A.-National Scholastic Press Association of the Department of Journalism, University of Minnesota-is the board in charge of ratings. Front Row: Irene Bushell, Wayne Carver, Sophie Reed, Chloe Yates. Back Row: Virginia Harris, Dewey Hudson, Alice Hodges. Soon after the publication of the Student Handbook, which Maurice Richards edited, the same gentleman was appointed chairman of a newly organized literary group, and subsequently, editor of Scribulus with Sophie Reed as business manager. Ray West was elected adviser, a position formerly held by David R. Trevithick. Despite what at first appeared to be a bleak beginning, the three issues of the magazine in 1941-1942 carried on the individual distinction of former Ail-American winners. The literary group held frequent meetings where conscientious amateur authors met to discuss literary problems of the magazine and to constructively criticize each other's work.
