30 THE VIEWPOINT-l935-36 Viewpoint . . . The staff this year was appoint- ed by the senior class officers under the direction of the two sponsors, Mrs. Bergman and Mr. Human. Contacts were made at once with various publishers, who were asked to submit their bids, After due consideration the selec- tions were made as follows: Pub- lisher, Capital Engravingg Print-- er, H. A. Nickel, College View and Group Photography, B. L. Morse, also of this community, This having been done the edi- tors began planning and arrang- ing, Meanwhile group and indi- vidual pictures were taken. Also an extensive advertising campaign was carried on by the publicity department. Incidentaily the absence of the usual box ads is due to another in- ovation in annual policies. The Business lVIen's Club of College View were very generous in back-- ill Julius Hulnu in ing the Viewpoint to the limit, This was due largely to the untir- ing efforts of Mr. Julius Humann, who spent much of his valuable time in convincing these mer- chants of the practicability of the new plan. Under this, instead of running the usual ads, the-y agreed amount of to invest a certain capital in return for which they received advertisement in the book community and throughout the as well as the support of the stu- dents and their parents. To continue the train of events, I turn again to the editors who rext made the assignments of ar- ticles to the various reporters, who in turn gave their completed mast- erpieces VIJ to the typists. Then back to the editors to be exam- ined fha, you got fooled, you though I was going to say editedJ. So, on to the linotypist. Meanwhile the business man- ager was having nightmares over the abundant Q75 funds rolling into the Viewpoint coffers. The thermometers in the library jig- gled uncertainly as each class strove to outdistance its rivals in payments falso threatening to break the business manager's neck if their thermometer was below another classj.

Their work has added a flavor to this annual be- cause they wrote from their view point of the subjects. We wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their zealous efforts in producing these manuscripts. On the whole, we of the staff feel that a lot of valuable experi- ence has been gained ty this work and appreciate the fact that while it was a great responsibility, it was also an opportunity such as should not be lightly turned aside. We hope that it has proved a worth while project and that you will enjoy reading it as much as we did creating it. Hrs, Annu lfl'l'lLIIll2ll'l TOP ROW 4LefL to
