Audubon High School - Le Souvenir Yearbook (Audubon, NJ)

Page 10 text:

THE 1H4tl LE 5 Back in early October, a yearbook was an adventure to our newly-elected staff, and our first steps were gay and childishly eager. We plunged in by interviewing photog- raphers, printers and engravers, finally selecting the ones who seemed to promise the best quality and service at a minimum of expense. Although we didn't realize it then, our first real work began when we started on theme For days we argued. Music, sports, youth-we discussed and rediscussed them and then we started all over. Meeting after meeting and nothing was decided upon. One afternoon when no one was feeling nice any rnoreiwhen the lights hadnbeen turned out and we were ready to leave-someone had a brainstorm-and lo! from the dust of despair we saw, sparkling, a thread of gold. We pounced on it-pulled, wove, and shaped it. At last it was as we wanted it to be. Our theme would be the first line from our popular football song, The Eyes of Audubon Are Upon You. The preliminaries were over. We planned the layout. Our artists got busy. The pho- tographers snapped pictures all over the school. Write-ups were assigned, Then in November, the Senior pictures were taken. Do you remember, Class ot 1940, when you voted for your Senior Celebs, motto and flower? And all the time the literary staff was watching each of you, discovering all your bad habits for the final expose! The industrious members of the business staff were searching diligently for adver- tisements. So successful were they that early in the year, they were tar ahead of the business staff of any preceding year. At last everything was sent to the pub- lishers. Then we relaxed. It wasn't for long though, because soon the page proofs were returned for final checking, lt is now Iune and the 1940 Le Souvenirs are here, fresh and new, like nothing you've ever seen before. We of the staff are sitting back with a tired, happy sigh with just enough strength left to say timidly, Hope you like 'emI UUVENIH STAFF Assistants to Literary Editor! E. Von Der Weel, L.
