Glenn Aber- NATHY, other Editor, went up East ' before we could get a pose of him. Not withstanding his de- parture the entire staff perpetuated the mag in the eyes of the campus by continuing the good work of their predeces- L NTERING its second year of publication, Quad was put on a firmer financial basis when money was appropriated by the Executive Council to continue it. The fact that it would continue was evidenced by the popular vote showered on the question of the magazine ' s permanence last year by a grateful and complimentary student body. They appreciated the fine choice of articles and short stories by the Editors of the original Quad, the foundling of student publications. The popular election of student editors of the literary magazine was also received with acclaim and a multitude of candidates flocked to be qualified. When the smoke of battle cleared, Rebecca Gray, Glenn Abernathy, and Myra Ware Williams emerged victorious besides having been elected editors. Immediately they adopted a new official of Quad, the Business Manager after much meditation (there had been no manager) they se-

3.e BUSINESS MANAGER Lester Gingold, rumored at one time or another to be a stooge of everyone on the Publications Board, finally displayed his mettle when national ads dropped out and even sold some himself. He also disproved the re- ports of tight finances when he liberally handed out bonuses from time to time.

Iccted Paul Kassouf for the position. Kasso, as he is commonly known, set out to renew the ad contracts of last year and the magazine began to show signs of prosperity until Heflin rendered a bill which spoiled all hopes of profit. But this did not concern the rest of the staff, especially the three Editors. Glenn Abernathy, Rebecca Gray and Myra Ware Williams who worked like regular Trojans all year, trying to keep the magazine up to the high standard of excellence which was set by last year ' s editors. Their first issue was a credit to themselves and Buck McCulloch, the photographer, for the cover was a picture of an athlete in the gym, and was such a striking and unusual shot that it will long be remem- bered. The consecutive issue featured covers as attractive, though our vote for he most handsome of all was the one on which the Quad Cover Girl was pictured. Lucie Ford, senior and accompanist for the choir, was this year ' s cover girl, and she was so obviously the one for the honor that the editors found it practically impossible to keep her identity a secret until the day of publication, as was the custom in the past. The Quad editors made a bad impression on the Southern Accent staff at the first of the year, for, after a strenuous battle with Heflin, they confiscated the sofa which had adorned the Southern Accent ' s cub- byhole. But, in spite of lounging languorously on the sofa, they managed to put out four super-duper issues of Quad. We take our hats off to Rebecca Gray, Glenn Abernathy and Myra Ware Williams. With the publication of the third issue of the magazine. Editor Glenn Abernathy left the staff to attend Heterology school at MIT. Immediately a new election was called and Cornelia Banks was chosen his successor until general elections came on. A frequent contributor to the publication, the new Editor was also active in other journalistic fields as were her associates, Williams and Gray. Fought over by both the Publications Board and the Executive Council, this year, Quad won new laurels and acclaim from the Campus as a publication worth keeping. J
