Cl l ccieo THE staff members for the 1947 El Rodeo were drawn at large from the student body. John Shea, editor for this year’s El Rodeo, came by his position through several years of yearbook work. Coming to Cal Poly in 1939, with a year’s experience, he was made assist- ant business manager for the 1940 book. Again in 1941 he was business manager, while in 1946 he was assistant editor. With Shea at the helm, a twelve man staff was soon organized, having on it one other man from the 1946 staff, Chuck Chapman, photographer. Avon Carlson, assistant editor, handled the details involved in scheduling advertis- ing pictures, sales promotion, and mail- ing of books. The end sheet and division page cartoons are the efforts of Bob Rowe, who recently left Poly for work at the University of California. Section editors, Kent Freeman, Grad- uates; Neil McCarty, Activities; Bill Othart, Organizations; Art Gandy, Dormitories; Harry Endo, Faculty; Joe Griffin, Athletics; and Bernard Epstein all did a bang-up job in rounding out their sections. The advertising section was capably handled by Cy Hovig and JOHN SHEA Editor-in-chief Jim Coleman, who together with Advis- ing attraction. The main brunt of the work fell on the shoulders of Editor Shea, who spent many an “extra” hour on layout work, writing copy and prepar- ing all pictures for the engravers. Bob Kennedy, the mainstay of Cal Poly publications, did a noble job in those departments requiring a diplomatic touch. His work in tak- ing and printing pictures editing copy and his moralizing effect, a 11 made El Rodeo—1947, what the staff hopes, a worthy book. Editor John Shea, seated in center, explains to his El Rodeo staff some intricacies of layout and editing of a yearbook. The worried looks weren’t posed. [23]
