By now most pictures and copy were available to the editor for organization, revision and check- ing. The page proofs were nearing completion and in June were ready for reading, re-reading and re-rereading. The end papers were then carefully put in place, and the cover finished. At the end of June, Arista came back from the publishers and was finally distributed. Now all concerned could breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that they would look back, years from now, on this edition of Arista, and, through a glorified perspective reverently murmur, Ah yes, this was Arista, our school yearbook.” Below—Pressman gets reader’s sheet to check place- ment of photographs and copy.

THE ARISTA STOR Y THE Arista story began last May with the selection of Mike Weinstein and Bob Gould as 1962-1963 editor-in-chief and production man- ager. Through the summer and into the early fall, the basic layout of the new Arista was outlined. A general meeting was called late in September, and the practical work began. At a meeting with the publisher the layout underwent detailed and critical analysis, and the first scale dummy (which generally bore little resemblance to the final book) was produced. All that was needed to set the wheels in mo- tion was capital. The Arista Publicity Committee, aided by the resources of G.O. Publicity, ran an intensive campaign in late December and early January, resulting in more than eight hundred sales. The chances for color art seemed bright. The first pictures to be ready for the year-book were those of the seniors, who, for a fee of one dollar each, had their photographs artistically-' done by Mil-Clif. In February all of the under- class homeroom pictures were taken. As the April vacation approached, nearly all clubs and organi- zations had been photographed. The onset of spring was accompanied by the activity of the identifications and quotations staffs, the latter group desperately trying to be witty without risking their lives.

 GO. lames Brodsla President Mr. Lincoln Sponsor THE perennial proposal to abolish the General Organization was brought to a head in the beginning of April, with an open meeting sponsored by the G. O. to discuss its attributes and its weaknesses. At this meeting the highlights and wastes of the G. O. were compared. Some of the functions were unanimously agreed upon as being worthwhile; and it was decided that, if only for these few', the G. O. must remain and function. One of the beneficial projects of the G. O. was the allocation of money to Chris Kahara, an African student currently studying at N. Y. U. Another Michael Kramer Kathy Bauman Howard Sharfstein Vice Pres idem Secretary Treasurer
