Tattler Staff Accepts Editor’s
Resignation Last
Week.
Elva Kuykendall, who for the
past year and a half, has been edi-
tor of the Tattler, has given in her
resignation of that position.
She resigned at mid-term, but
the resignation did not become ef-
fective until some few days ago.
For some time since mid-term,
however, she has assisted the paper
in trying out new editors.
In giving reasons for her re-
signation, Elva said that the new
editor needed experience for next
year, and that because of her gra-
duation this spring, she had to de-
vote most of her time to her stu-
dies.
“I wish to express my apprecia-
tion to the student body for their
support,” she said, to the Tattler
staff, “for their willing to work
when needed, and to Miss Hicks,
who has willingly given counsel
and advice at all times. I believe
that Glen Johnson, your new edi-
tor, will indeed prove an excellent
one, and I trust that the student
body will support him during his
editorship just as loyally as they
have me.”
