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.

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.

Harrington, Davidson — let them think their floods of ideas are not mine. It makes them happy. And they are not bad minions, as minions go. He sighed gustily. Go your hapless ways, gentlemen; pur- sue your piddling endeavors; leave; vanish as the wraiths of yesteryear, youths. I, Phosphorous the Inimitable, shall remain and carrv on.
