ROW 2: Charlene Larkin, Winn Moore Bob Roman With the school year of 1952-53 rapidly coming to a close, the Annual Staff, after nine months of arduous work and many anguished wails, is proud to present your La Conchilla. We tried to cover all facets of school life as com- pletely as possible, only time and you, the reader, can tell us if our efforts were successful. Harry Woolpert assumed the task of editor-in-chief and stuck bravely to the demanding iob until the last pages of the annual were mailed in mid-April and the last proofs read. At his right hand was Mrs. Lea- nora R. Furr, coordinator, who bore the onslaught of too much to do in too little time quite manfully. The art work was done by Editor Nancy Schisler, who made the layouts, trimmed pictures, and meas- ured copy. Assistance came from Pauline Chiriaco, who drew the cover design, Julie Scott, who was Nancy's number one boy and Allen Thibault, who did the cartooning and lettering. Business Manager Carolyn Brumwell, often work- ing under difficult circumstances, was unflagging in discharged all her duties, especially that of selling sufficient advertising to finance the book. Annette Thibault kept the books and saw that all the money was safely tucked away in the La Conchilla coffers. Jeanne Yerty kept the advertising records. The sale of La Conchilla was conducted by Jackie Savant, who sat in room 23 many noon periods taking subscribers' money. Editor Harry Woolpert if . .. ,. P fm 5 3 rt?

The staff entered the iournalism class all set to continue printing the paper. But alasl, there were not enough CVites putting forth dollars for sub- scriptions, and the first issue came out as a dog-eared mimeographed presentation. But then the good fortune started. A mimeographed paper didn't appeal to the Student Council or the Arab Spirits, in fact, it made them down- right mad. So the council voted S100 and launched a campaign that gar- nered enough subscribers to assure a printed paper. staff really buckled Then the down and put out a paper. The edi- tion that had the April Fool all C.V. howling was issue, ARAB SNOOZE. Valuable assistance was given by Harry Woolpert and by Carol Baty. Annette Thibault doubled as reporter, typist, and bookkeeper. Rita Yoxsimer and others in the ARAB NEWS Club, which was sponsored by the staff, also assisted as reporters and keepers of the files. Mrs. Leonora Furr was advisor. BETTY KELTING, page 3 editor Q92

Zelma Ballard, the editor, spent many hours at the typewriter preparing copy and identifications. Jim Blocher wrote up all the boys' sports. Charlene Nelson, Gail Moore, Shirley Step- hens, Chuck Yates, Hatton Adams, and Becky Allison helped in writing up activities. With no photography class in 1953, the shutter- bugs had limited experience in picture-taking. Editor Tony Freeman took most of the advertising and back- ground pictures and many of the miscellaneous shots that you see scattered through the annual. Guy Rich- ardson, Jim Jackson, and Bob Roman did much work in the lab developing pictures. E. C. Willis took al- most all the La Conchilla pictures. This was the first time a professional photographer had taken anything except senior portraits. This was necessitated because there was no photography class. Appointed to supervise the work of the staff were: Miss Hallie McGaughy, business, Newton Stafford, photography, Robert Peirce, art, and Mrs. Furr. Miss Burns' Typing II class addressed dozens of letters. But to list everyone who helped the staff out would be an unending job. Thanks to all who helped boost this yearbook. And so, the Annual Staff gives you the culmina- -10 ' if 6 .. 'A -. fi- ls. . tion of a year's hard work - the T953 La Conchilla.
