Pedersen, Erlilmz T 0 W E R Annual Staff An attempt has been made by the staff to reproduce the spirit of work and fun for the '40-'41 school year and to revive the major and minor activities of our life at Manteca High by portraying them in write-ups and pictures. We, the staff, have in every Way endeavored to publish a year-book that will be enjoyed by the faculty, seniors, undergraduates, and parents. Representatives of the Bi-Weekly and Annual Tower attended a press conference at Stanford last fall. With the help and ideas of the few members who attended, real progress of the annual was undertaken. By the time budgets were drawn up, our theme-the buffalo-chosen, contracts let, and the dummy planned, the staff was running around in circles tearing their hair until every- thing was complete down to the very last, minute detail. The task of canvassing, mobilizing, and encouraging students and faculty to have their pictures taken fell on the shoulders of our capable and cooperative photograph editor, Doro- thy Mendosa, who, with the help of our imperative business manager, jim Israel, and his assistant, Mary Clark, popped up with the ingenious new feature of using photographic advertising. The art work, a necessity to any annual, was designed by Bill R. Perry and Bob Wilson, our staff artists, who reported burning many gallons of the precious midnight oil while whipping out the numerous layouts. Supervision in the line of sports called for a manager full of responsibility and initiative. Since sports were to be a heading feature this year to tie in with our Buffalo theme, Bob Lynch filled this job nicely, and he gave us a sports section that will long be remembered. A cooperative staff, willing to work with the aid of their adviser, Miss Mary Isabel Essig, has brought about this nineteenth volume of the Annual Tower, which we hope you will enjoy throughout the years to come. 30
