Exchange Editor McLain Here Bourquin Eallgren Caldwell I-ee Jepson The members of the Purple Press staff, under the direction of Mr. Ercil Adams, faithfully carried out the policy of the paper in each issue. They, at all times, en- deavored to give the student body complete and accurate information about school affairs and, by so doing, set down a permanent record of the events of the 1944-45 term. Every activity sponsored by the student body was helpfully supported by the paper. Through date, gossip, and other columns readers found enjoyment each week in learn- ing of the social affairs of their classmates. The position of editor-in-chief was held by Phillis Billings. Steve Smith, Cap Black- burn, and Dick Webber managed the second, third, and sports pages. Donna Thompson and Ralph Kizer were exchange editor and proofreader, respectively, while Enor Jepson handled girls' sports. The entire staff was responsible for the great success of each of the weekly issues. 13

All over the northwest part of Glendale Hoover coeds were exercising their muscles, while the fellows peacefully loafed—this was the eve of Bag Day. Then, the big event arrived. Throughout Hoover's halls during the day each gal escorted to his classes her Bag Day date, better known as a bag, by carrying his books. This procedure can well be illustrated by the above scenes. After school, couples had loads of fun jiving at the Bag Day dance, sponsored by the Girls' League Board. 17
