Much appreciation goes to our sponsors, Miss Kruwel, Miss Warvarovsky, and Mrs. De Vaurs, who have been so interested in the book and its completion, for the untiring work they have done. Mr. Clyde Quick, our advisor, made many helpful suggestions which the staff acted upon. Merited praise goes to Renee Martin, Melba Tharp, and Kathleen Rogers for the time they freely spent to ready the material for this publication. Then, too, there were Mr. John Howell and Mr. George Wessels who, with patience and skill, did the annual photography this year, and Mr. Leslie .l. Serpa of the Fresno Bee Enf. graving Company. To the S. K. Smith Company of Los Angeles goes the credit for the creation of the cover and for the binding. Lastly, there is one man whose loyalty and fine service was greatly appreciated.
