TO DUI? IQEADEDS2 Page Ten lt is the aim of every yearbook staff to produce a better book than has ever been made before. While such an ideal is impossible of perfect attainment, yet we believe that it is only with such a goal in view that the high standard of our predecessors can be maintained. We should like to call your attention to several features of the 1939 book. The pictures of the seniors, for instance. are of more generous proportions than formerly. Dramatics hold, and have held, such an important part in our school life that they seem to us worthy of a special section. We regret that the extemporaneous speaking contest. held this year for the first time, did not take place early enough to be included in this section. The literature section has been given special attention with the idea of showing you that there is a con- siderable number of students in Arms who not only have something to say but also the ability to say it rather well. The features section is our answer to an insistent demand on the part of the student body for something in lighter vein. We believe that the news of recent graduates, and others not so recent. to be gleaned from the alumni section, will prove of interest to the increasing number of townspeople and friends who are our regular patrons. We were unable to continue the admirable practice of printing the graduation pictures of the fifty-year class. because the most careful search failed to reveal the slightest trace of their pictures. We are glad. however, that our successors can resume the practice. if they wish, as our search did reveal pictures of several classes immediately following the class of 1989. The line drawings by our art editors add much. we think. to the attrac- tiveness of this book. May we ask that you notice particularly the space subscribed to by our advertisers, without whose generous cooperation we could have no yearbook at all. Then, too. in addition to our regular paper-cover edition, we are issuing by subscription a special edition with imitation leather binding and stiff cover to meet the requirements of the seniors and others who desire a book with more formal dress and more lasting qualities. The contents of the two editions are identical: the paper, typography, and photography are exactly the same-the difference in price between the two editions corresponds to the penny with the difference in cost of the two bindings and covers. But perhaps it is better to let our efforts speak for themselves. lt is the sincere wish of the staff that you, our readers, will gain as much enioyment in the perusal of this book as we did in its plan and execution. THE EDITOR.
