OAK STAFF Illi Oak Staff has done rather creditably this year considering the adverse conditions through which it has had to work. At the first of the year, it was doubtful whether the school finances would permit the publishing an annual but by constant effort on the part of the Editor and the Business Manager, with the assistance of the remain- ing staff, the Oak has again been made possible for the students of the Visalia Union High School. lly enlisting a number of lively salesmen from the student body an intensive sales campaign was conducted. Awards were offered to the three students selling the most Oaks by April fifteenth. Another means of increasing the capital was by assessing the club members twenty-five cents each for the club pictures appearing in the Annual. Very satisfactory results were obtained by these means and the probable expenses for this year's publication have been met. Through the combined efforts of the Faculty advisers, Miss Rou- leau, Mr. Sanders and Mr. Mitchell, together with Frances Acurso, Editor, and David Logan, Business Manager, and the remaining staff. it is hoped the 1932-1933 year book will be as successful as those that have been previously published. VVe want also to extend our appreciation and thanks to the students of the high school and the business men of Visalia for their aid in making possible the continued publication of the Oak.
