Butler Community College - Grizzly Growl Yearbook (El Dorado, KS)

Page 25 text:

To all who stared in amazement at dignified Jucoites dashing down the hall to corner other equally dignified Jucoites ; to all who listened with amazement to the ensuing arguments and desperate pleas for articles, snapshots, and class pictures; the Grizzly Growls ' Staff wishes to make this statement: the before-mentioned activities were not designed merely to entertain spectators but rather were bent toward getting this, the 1948 yearbook, to you on time. The staff organized early in the semester and immediately began to work on the book. Before much progress could be made, the officers had to be chosen. Frank Hall was appointed editor, Shirley Seeber associate editor, and competent students were chosen for the other positions on the staff. Stated: Mr. Greenbank. First row, left to right: DeLong, Locke, Seeber, Bowyer, Pendergrass, Ruth, Wheeler, Miss Bradford. Rear row: Hollis, Hall, Knaussman, Garcia. Not pictured: Earl Stanley, who contributed the cover design. lite Glizzlu Glowls As in any publication activity, there were many obstacles to be overcome. Prices of printing and engraving were high, the selection of subjects for publication was difficult, and deadlines were sometimes hard to meet. Nevertheless, the staff has tried to make the book representative of the entire student body, a yearbook of which the school can feel proud. Staff members wrote most of the articles; but Tom Dugan, Jean Shepherd, Dell Reed, Bud Knowles, Fred Doornbos, Ray Adams, Dick Alley, and Miss Macy Fay Hukle also contributed articles. The excellent pic- tures furnished by our photographer, Chuck Hollis, were supplemented by the snapshots contributed by Lynn Hepler, Virgil Grange, Jack Simon, and others. Dean Bickford and other faculty members offered valuable sug- gestions and encouragement. As the book goes to press, the entire staff wishes to extend sincere thanks to all who have in any way contributed to the 1947-1948 yearbook. 23

The main problem of the journalism students this year has been the securing of a permanent editor. Throughout the school term, the Grizzly Growls, Juco weekly publication, has had not one, not two, but four editors, plus an associate editor. At the beginning of the school year, Charles Fullinwider was elected editor, and in this capacity he served faithfully during the first semester. When the second semester began, Charles entered another college, and Paul O ' Neal and Barbara Bowyer were selected as co-editors. However, Paul soon withdrew from school, and Barbara resigned because of outside work. The members of the club assembled and selected Jim McKinney editor, with Velma Wheeler as his assistant. Jim has done a very com- mendable job. He and the other members of the group have accomplished much, in spite of occasional uninterested students, late contributions, and lazy reporting. Although the going has sometimes been rough, those students who remained in the club have enjoyed their experiences and have contributed much to the welfare of the student body of E. J. C. According to the available lists, other members were Beth DeLong, Jane Ruth, Betty Jo Locke, Betty Jo Pendergrass, Cordelia Dennis, Yvonne Perego, Jo Ann Willaby, Betty Barton, Shirley Seeber, Paul Flint, Bob DeLong, Ralph Prewitt, David Walk, Bill Hartnett, Marilyn Mardis, Tom Garland, Tom Day, Lois Graf, Marcia Godding, Howard Knaussman, Ray Adams, Jim Thompson, Bob Stone, and Pat Baughman. Mr. Nixon sponsored the group. 22
