4 YW V A,3,M'z.. ia? THE 1940 PRAECO ti is i it The PRAECO Staff presents a new yearbook. From padded cover to padded cover is found a series of changes that gives the publication new life and new appeal. The theme Creativeness is carried out in two ways on the divider pages. Not only do the sketches illustrate the theme, but they are actually creative pieces, drawn by students. More student art work appears on these pages than has been customary for the past several years. The use of color, inaugurated in PRAECO last year, makes these dividers still more attractive. Recognition is awarded original and creative student work in the 1940 PRA1-zoo. This is the revival and revisio11 of a former practice-a revival, because student work has been published in PRAECO before, but not since 1930, a revision, because not only college work, but work done by the Campus School students as well, has a place in the organization of the book. A Student Index is another innovation. To improve the appearance of the pages given for organization pictures and resume of activities, the listing of members is omitted, and the Index of students' names and activities in the back of the book is substituted for it. The Index has allowed a different and more satisfactory arrangement of organizations. Making a definite attempt to center all the material around the theme, the Staff has linked actual creativeness with the results of creativeness. Original ideas, the new features and revised organization, are incorporated in the book, creative work done by the student body appears in the feature section, the faculty members share the honors, receiving mention for original work they have done. The results of the theme were used to illustrate the theme. Creativeness-in the student body, among tl1e faculty, in the classroom, in sports, in extra-curricular activities -is illustrated by its end product in this, TFHE '1940 PRAECO. 28

RICHARD PARSONS This year issues were published regularly, the writing and make-up were far above parg advertising had a banner yearg circulation was co-ordinated for tl1e first time, and the caliber of the publication as a whole was much improved. With the opening of school in the fall, a special issue welcomed the students. Once scl1ool got underway, the staff was supplemented by an unusually. large group of fresh- men. A long-range plan to build an efficient, well co-ordinated staff by adding new members each year and training them more carefully was adopted. The second semester the advertising income hit a new high, when more than double the amount asked for by the Student Council was turned in. A special issue, published in May, contained several extra pages and a rotogravure section, it was circulated among 3,000 present and prospective students, alumni and friends of the college. During the year this organization sponsored a high school debate tournament, con- tacted other State Teachers College newspapers, and laid plans for a Teachers College Journalists, convention here next fall. 29
