Kansas State University - Royal Purple Yearbook (Manhattan, KS)

ELIZABETH CRANDALL was chosen by the Board of Student Publica- tions to edit The 1945 Royal Purple. Here she is at work in her office in Kedzie Hall. She was assisted by a staff of 37 students this year. " ' I ' HE College of Tomorrow " was the theme around which Elizabeth Crandall, editor, planned the 1945 Royal Purple. It was carried out by pictures and stories in the opening and division 1945 ROYAL PURPLE pages of the book and in the stories in the admin- istration section. To Paul Weigel, head of the architecture de- partment, goes the credit for supplying the draw- ings of the six buildings used on the division pages. Mrs. Jean Deyoe, also of that department, drew the proposed buildings for the map of the " Cam- pus of Tomorrow. " By the beginning of school last fall, a rough dummy had been made and work was in progress on the pictures for the opening and division pages. With rush week and enrollment, Dee Preusch began taking pictures in earnest. Volunteer office workers were soon busy making out receipts for 1300 individual pictures for the class section of the book. By Christmas time more definite plans for the book were made. Organization group pictures, class pictures and snapshots were selected and by March 1 approximately 400 cuts were ordered. The cover was selected and a printing contract signed for 1660 books. THE EDITORIAL STAFF of The 194S Royal Purple w.is composed of Dorothy Cochran, Elizabeth Crandall, Dorraine Dorf, Barbara West, Patty Piffer, Jean Wainscott and Joy Talbot. Page 216
