16...............................................................................FAN High School paper, to edit the magazine. Ingher, condescended, but he was not a real fan, and the boys behind the magazine soon "resigned" Ingher. Ruppert elected himself to the editor's chair, but resigned sometime later to Julius Schwartz, who was editor until the final page of the maga-zine was printed. The magazine, in January 2934, a year and one-half after it started, changed its name to FANTASY MAGAZINE. Ruppert finally had to quit printing FM because he was getting too busy, so Schwartz attempted to have it done professionally. That was the beginning of the end, for after several issues the magazine was discontinued, with the January 1937 issue. This magazine had an enviable record for the number of issues printed, but this can be traced to the fact that a professional printer was printing the magazine for cots, which amounted to only sev-eral dollars. SCIENCE FANTASY CORRESPONDENT: This was a BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PRINTED MAGAZINE, ISSUED BY Willis Conover and Corwin Stickney late in 1936. Stickney, having access to the shop of a profes-sional printer, did all of the publication work on the magazine. Conover doing the editing and collecting all the credit. After two issues Stickney dropped Conover, made himself editor, change the policy of the magazine from that of a general fan publication, to that of a magazine "for the amateur fantasy writer", featuring fic-tion for the most part. The magazine failed after three issues under the new setup. SCIENCE FICTION WORLD: Hayward S. Kirby, semi-prominent fan, surprised the fan world early in 1937 by bringing out an almost totally unannounced printed paper called THE SCIENCE FICTION WORLD. The initial issue was printed in newsprint format consisting of only one page.
