FROM THE STAFF ROOM , It was Casey who suggested the title early in the fall. A class vote decided the dedication. It looked like a tie, but the faculty won out. What made things look difficult at first was the decision to have original drawings or none at all. nWell, I can't draw, but I'll try,n said Shirley after three months of drafting had failed to produce an artist. Then somebody wanted logs on the pages and Boemans didn't have any on the place. Tracing that first design on a stencil was a task, in spite of sage suggestions from the other seniors who had never seen it done. Pete finally came through with a foot- ball story. Then we had to wait for the rest of the news to happen. On March first, the work began. nMerle and Fritz, you can run the mimeograph, can't you?n nSure.n They had never touched the thing before, but you wouldn't know it. Soon they could mend stencil breaks with Scotch tape in a process that ought to be patented. About this time, Mary Alice, who had offered to be typ- ist, decided to have her appendix out before play practice started. But Corky stepped in in corking way and ever sumo has been typing stencils hours each day. In fact, she still is. On March 5, the photographer made his first visit. Ap- pointments lastcd from 8:50 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. Forty girls in gym class demonstrated their ability to neither speak nor move for two whole seconds. The sales campaign began on March 22. In one week the Kimmel-Kroll team had reached their quota--over 100 books sold. uNever give the prospect a chance to answer,n says Hank. The subscription price pays for the picturesg the ads take care of everything else. When the business manager landed a full page ad, we almost celebrated. Chuck wrote sports. Fritz wrote everything. Freida wrote, mimeographed, and supervised. keith began the hand- lettered pages and the senior features. Merle collected senior statistics. At the ond of March, twenty pages were ready.

Gladys started' the search for baby pictures. Play practice began, and the early arrivals had a chance to nrun offn a few pages at night. The editor recover from a hand infection and began to cut titles. Opal continued with the hand-lettering. Esther learned the ways of the mimeograph, and Carol did odd jobs. Miss Maloney cut a few stencils by way of encouragement. Mary Alice had her typewriter moved to the English room and get busy on stencils. All this time Hank had been working on ads and getting more particular every day. nThat 'm' isn't straight. Who cut this page?n Freida and Shirley took turns ordering paper and supplies. Eileen Frantz, Alice J. Flessner, and Raymond Attig were invited to furnish chronicles of the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Charles Young contributed the administration page, and Dur- rel Hack, the calendar sketches. The adviser blocked and typed every night. An experiment with blue paint took spare nWhat if minutes of a whole day. On April pictures. On 28, the photographer came back to finish the the evening of the 27th, Kimmel and Haley fin- ished sewing the furniture covers needed for the senior play picture. Jewelry and scarfs appeared on all sides to bring atmosphere to the operetta photograph. The annual staff crowded around the mimeograph table and tried to look natur- al. Sad to say, news isn't static. The day after the class history was finished, a new freshman enrolled. Daily hap- penings have left other stories incomplete. Gladys finished the snapshot pages on April 50. The deadline for stencils is practically here. Over sixty pagea some printed on both sides, are stacked, ready to be sorted and put together. The picture pages will be here at any minute. HAll hands on deckln Hwhat page comes next? There's a mark on the b ck of this.u nHand me that picture.n Soon the last book will be packed in its box, we hope, and the last that is doing week. box will be on its way to the Chicago Company the binding. They should be back in about a there's a strike or something?u nWhat if they don't get here in time?u NDon't even mention it.n That day is almost as important as 'Commencement--the day on which the money will be collected, the bills paid, the annuals distributed, and the autograph pages ready to be signed. C. C. H. S. has published a book--the first CULLOG is out!
