HERBERT OYAMA YEIZO YAMAGUCHI IAMES HAYASE Farrington's Annual 62 Ke liiaaina To have an Annual or not to have one, that was a pertinent question. An inexperienced staff, no completed dummy, no photographer as yet engaged, talk of the shortage of photo- graphic supplies, and more talk concerning pri- orities-all these helped to make things look rather gloomy in the beginning. With the determination to make the year- book a reality, members of the staff organized themselves into a workable group. After agree- ing to increase the price of the Annual because of rising costs, they conducted two weeks sub- scription campaign. Staff me bers were sent to all classrooms to boost sal during morning and afternoon sessions. The S niors responded enthusiastically. Underclassm . hesitated.
