Chicking Technique s progress: Joe Banks, Joe Say or, and Dick Henderson and was sent home. He was replaced by Ed Beauchamp who upheld the hiurels of the editorial department. Acting as liaison between Saylor and Henderson was Chuck Richard the manag- ing editor. It was his job to notify the various activity heads that pictures were needed. By his work, we were able to meet the photo deadline, a thing never before heard of on Technique. Our art editor, Clint Seely, did excellent work on the cover and furnished many drawings for use in the opening section of the book. Technique Photographers: Standing: M. B. Schupack, R. B.

North Our circulation manager, Joe Banks, did a remarkable job this year; and with the cooperation of Dave Findlay, the pub- licity manager, sold more books than we have sold since way before the war. With money coming in through the efforts of Banks and Greg Gentleman, our advertis- ing manager, the treasurer, Ozzie Kin- cannon, kept spending it on some of Technique ' s enterprises — namely horse- racing and other sure ways of making money.

The Senior Board: M. H. Baxter, Business Manager; J. B. Jamieson Jr., Editor-in-Chief: R. IV. Henderson, Photography Editor; J. IV. Say or, Jr., General Manager Frankly, it was fun producing the 1950 Technique, even though it took many long hours of work, sessions with our engraver and printer, and much proof- reading. The 1950 Technique incorporates more pictures in it this year than in previ- ousyears; it is truly the students ' yearbook, for we endeavored to show as many stu- dents ' pictures as was possible. Joe Saylor was the general manager of the book and did the whip-cracking; how- TECHNIQUE ever, without the helpful cooperation of the rest of the staff, nothing would have been accomplished. Mark Baxter was our business manager and as such kept the creditors away from our door. It was through his efforts that we were able to acquire the beautiful secretaries that keep the rest of the staff happy. Voo Doo has beer, we have secretaries. The photography was capably handled by Dick Henderson and Chris Rust plus a staff of photographers who worked in the dark room so long that a consistent diet of carrots was needed to help them stave off night blindness. Burt Jamieson was our editor-in-chief and with the able assistance of Sam Rubin- ovitz, our associate editor, filled the book with the articles and captions. Sam did a good job on the captions, misspelling every name but his own; however, it was still a remarkable job. Burt Jamieson became ill in January Right: Darkroom meeting: John Mohr, Chris Rust, Clint Seeley and Don North Below: Bill Gorum, O Zte Kincannon, and Clint Seeley

Simmons Jr. Phos threw open the office door with a cavalier air and ushered in a Persian feline, visibly im- pressed. ■ ' These, the Cat said with a shade less than his usual asperity, are my minions, reasonably capable of running small errands, opening beer cans for me, and the like. Gentlemen, meet Felicia, he purred. Felicia, the staff, laughingly so-called, of my magazine. It ' s an annual disease, he said, settling him- self into a chair and his date upon his lap. Last year the big names were Schneider, Piness, Price, and Kunstadter; this year 1 could mention Price, Bickford, Waldt, and Miller. But the real guiding VOO DOO spirit is right here with you, baby. He leered pleasantly. And I must say, Phos went on indulgently, I man- aged the Bridge Episode very nicely. Governor Devers could never have opened the bridge properly without my assist- ance. You boys helped too, he said, nodding at the staff, and a few other unde rgradu- ates.
