l'l2l'l'l06gl'L8 ANNUAL PUBLISHED ESPECIALLY FOR YOU ln the spring of i948 the Editor was chosen for the publication of the next year. Not knowing the worries that were to trouble him, he hesitatingly accepted the appointment. As school opened in the fall of l948, the rest of the staff was chosen and preliminary work begun. Despite the work done by the editor, Winston Becker, it would have been impossible to have published this book without the combined efforts of the other members of the staff. Aiding him in the collecting and preparing of material were Ed Nason, associate d't ' W l e i or, a ter Burk- holder and Al Day, class editors, Ted Slaybaugh and Dick Osberg, sports editors, Carolyn Paul and Betty Becker literary editors Darrel J ob d B Q ac s an etty Poehler, art editors, and Kenneth Templeton, staff photographer. Not to be forgotten is the invaluable assistance given by Prof. J. Ralph Pfister, faculty adviser. Paul Schilling as business manager did an excellent job of securing sufficient funds throu h the s lli f g e ing o advertising space to finance the increasing cost of publication. l-le was ably assisted by Bernard Mitchell, asso- ciate business manager. John Hornaday and Jim Yonker also spent valuable time in the solicitation of advertis- in . M h k ' ' ' g any t an s are extended to those persons who helped so willingly as typists although they were not mem- bers of the staff. As you leaf through the pages of this book, we, the Staff, hope that you find it to be enjoyable and inter- esting and trust that again and again you will reread its pages as you recall this year at i-l.

PIM, NEW INTEREST IS EVIDENCED Excelsior , PhiIo's motto may well be that of an organization that seems to have taken on new life. It has taken Philo quite some time to begin to recover from the war-time deple- tion of men on the campus, but it seems that now there is once again a spark of the old or- ganization beginning to flicker into a flame. Philo is on the move. lndications of new in- terest were evident around the beginning of the second semester when Philo Hall resounded with the campaign speeches of candidates from the opposing political parties, the Radicals and the Pacifists. lt was time for the election of new officers and they had adopted the two-party system which is so much a part of our national government. Results of the election carried the Radical party into power with LaVern Smith as their president. Inaug- ural ceremonies were held on February lO when the new president received the gavel of au- thority from the retiring president, Lloyd Flint, who in true Philo tradition became the jani- tor ofthe organization. For the men on the campus this society purposes to give training in parliamentary pro- cedure, encourage oratorical speaking as well as formal debating and panel discussions. Learning to express one's thoughts is considered of importance to Philo members. In addition to their regular meetings they join with Zeta to sponsor various parties and the Inter-Society meeting in the spring when the fellows arrange for the refreshments and the program. The picture below does not indicate the size of Philo although it was not so large the first semester. However, the second semester found an increased number of men on the campus becoming interested in the growing movement. Keep a watchful eye on this campus organization for Philo is on the move. 25

Awww Mwnwt- ' ' '--ru y ,xs ' 'f O I 'ASX MORE TO IT THAN MEETS THE EYE The work connected with publishing a school paper is varie , perience which could not be obtained in any other manner. The reporters learn that one has to be definite in writing, searching for the exact word to express the fine shade of meaning. Meeting a deadline reveals the necessity of being on time. Interviews and contacts to seek information give experience in meeting people. Sales- manship, collections, and balancing a budget are some of the experiences of those on the business staff, Technical terms become real as the staff shuffles with the galley proofs, revises, dummy, make-up, lock-up, press proofs, picas, cuts, sheet, and printer's pi. ' ' l time and effort that is demanded to put out A quick look at any issue of the Huntingtonian does not revea ' om lete coverage of all the activities and the organizations on the the paper. The staff has attempted to give a c p campus, as well as keep school spirit and morale at an even keel. Members of the staff who have labored to earn this worthwhile experience are Lorraine Folk, editor, Bea- trice Leedy, associate editor, Dorothy Stermer, Doris Woodcock and Fred Geyer, Jr., news reporters, Charles Mil- tonberger and Charles Wohlford, sports reporters, Donald Diffenbaugh, business manager, James Carroll, assistant business manager, Robert McCoy, advertising solicitor, Vessie Stephens, circulation manager, Herbert Cherry, as- sistant, Miss Lois Lehman and Professor J.
