The response was so positive that by March  1934 the "Hairenik Weekly" was established entirely in English and began publication, mostly through the efforts of young volunteer contributors. In June 1934 "Hairenik Weekly" acquired a full-time editor, James Mandalian, and an assistant editor, Queenie Pambookjian. Notably, there were translations of short stories by such prominent Armenian writers as Avetis Aharonian and Hamasdegh and the poems of Gostan Zarian. Moreover, the very stories that initially brought William Saroyan national recognition by the American public were first published in the "Hairenik Weekly" (under the pseudonym "Sirak Goryan").
