Sophomores in the class acted as editorial writers, reporters, type-setters and print- ers for the init'al efforts were merely twelve typewritten pages, whose only point of identification with a newspaper was its name, The Hilltoppcr. The following month, April, however, showed a decided uplift in the journalis- tic tone of the Hilltoppcr. At that time a Senior was made editor, the Journal- ism class acted as staff, and the hereto- fore bulky bulletin sheets were boiled down to a tiny four-page pamphlet, a real newspaper, but so small that, folded once, it would fit into an ordinary en- velope and could be sent by first-class mail. It was then that it received the sobriquet of "The Smallest College News- paper in the United States." In that year it ran from April to June. The next fall, September to Decem- ber, 1919, it appeared in large form, and in January, 1920, the name was changed to one more distinctive of Georgetown, for the title HOYA was chosen. It was enthusiastically received, and from its very start received great commendation.
