TMirmr Cecil Parson kept himself more than busy with a CAA course in the fall and The South Today and the Radio Workshop in the spring. Occasionally you caught him in a pose like this, pon- dering the next word. EDITORIAL STAFF L A FOR the first time in its his- tory, I. a Rcviic comes to the entire student body of ' Southern. Eight hundred copies sold represent the wid- est circulation of an annual ever to come from the Hill- top. At the beginning of the year, the Editors found them- selves in the smallest cubicle ot the place wliere Townsend holds his journalism classes. For one semester the editors of the unmentionable scream sheet across the rail used La Revue ' s wickets to store old cuts, leftovers, and waste pa- per. During the second se- mester L.a Rez ' ue ' s waste pa- per found its way into the other office We put up a shingle, decorated our win- dows, and burned midnight oil ail day working out break page shots for a theme.

L L T O P NEWS COLLEGE WEEKLY THE Hiij i ' OP News held forth this year — as last — in the basement of the Library and shared office space with brother publication, La Rcz ' uc. An unusual number of students took part in jmlilication of the paper. One little matter that helped the popu- larity of the News office was the fact that typewriters and paper were al- ways handy to anyone who wanted to type off that correspondence or those term papers. Not only did many students become attached to the typewriters — one of the staff typewriters became attached to somebody, and as yet hasn ' t been located. With the three machines re- maining, both publications have man- aged to meet most deadlines. The usual staff-made photos went into the paper this year, with photog- raphers Cully and Cranshaw on the job. The jiaper li ed this year during a hectic period of national and interna- tional affairs. Editor Frank Cash left the campus before completing the year ' s work to join the military serv- ice, leaving the paj er in mid-air until Editor Sammy Pruett took over. Uncle Sam kept stepping nearer the conflict, and before the year was out, voices of educators were heard raised against the practice of deferring col- lege students from conscription until the end of the term. BUSINESS MAN Toni Dili ' s beginniiig-of-the-year lament was that, unless some- liody. somewhere, came up with some money, the Hilltop A ' civs would degenerate into a handbill. It came out as an extra handbill. all right, during the g ' m drive — but Dill distriliuted bonuses at the end of the year. Business M.kn. ger Djll

REVUE BUSINESS STAFF Bill Vance.. Howell Heflin.. Orian Truss Ford McDonald OUR soap figures, brain cliildren of ex- ' Southeni student Ben VVyatt, were attractive ; but Jake Cranshaw ' s camera said No. We especially loved the plastered little guy in tophat and tails wlio was rapidly assuming a vertical position. He was to be the symbol for the Greeks. Per- haps it ' s good for us that ivory soap isn ' t photogenic. Big moments of the year were the Beauty Parade, the first all-night ses- sion with Bob Faerber, the stupen- dous write-ups of Asst. Ed. Anderson, and the moment when all the copy crawled into Engraver ' s and Printer ' s and we settled down to read proof. In this issue you will find more new photographs than in any other La Revue. The entire opening section is new ; the buildings are shown in the Qimrf-section, and an attempt at levity fills the rear pages. Aside from photograpliy we attempt nothing completely new. We bring you the chronicle of a year. Business Manager . Associate Manager Associate Mana-ger STAFF Joe Bakes Ethel Morland Boss Bill Vance looking over a bill, no doubt. The boss divided his time between finance and debating, with women as a sideline. He rested on his laurels after gaining the title of campus politi cian by acclamation. 35]
