Helen in the Editor's Chair E-text prepared by Stephen Hutcheson, Rod Crawford, Dave Morgan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "Helen in the Editor's Chair" by Ruthe S. Wheeler is a novel written in the early 1930s. The story centers around a young girl named Helen Blair, who takes on the responsibility of managing her family's local newspaper, the "Rolfe Herald", after her father falls ill and must seek treatment in a warmer climate. This coming-of-age tale explores themes of family, duty, and the challenges of journalism in a small town setting. At the start of the book, we meet Helen as she eagerly anticipates "press day," the day the paper is printed and distributed. Her family is deeply involved in the newspaper business, with her father as the editor and publisher, her brother Tom helping with the news writing and the mechanical aspects, and Helen herself assisting with various tasks in the office. However, concern arises when Helen realizes her father is unwell, leading her to insist on him leaving work to rest. This pivotal moment sets the stage for Helen to step into the role of editor, navigate the challenges of running the paper while managing her school commitments, and learn to work alongside her brother Tom and their supportive mother. The opening portion effectively establishes the characters, setting, and inciting event that drives Helen’s journey throughout the rest of the novel.
