spring Assislanl Edilur Li ' slic Mallhies Editor Rachel Hoist Fall Assistant Editor Willie Mai Montgomery The Collegian this year has made the long hoped for change, from a bi- monthly to a weekly edition. It has been the purpose of the staff not only to fill a weekly edition with news, but to make the stories short and snappy, to cover the entire field of College interests. Several new columns were featured during the year, notably — Thoughts While Strolling by O. O. Flattcntire. Personalities. Kampus Kapers. Gleanings and Glimpses of the Other Side, A Poetry Corner, and Snatches From Other Junior Colleges. [52]

Gladyce Willson Weldon Adams Einar Ahnstedt William Brooks The Staff Geraldine Galusha Dwight Babcock Like the buccaneers of old. these modern pirates have invaded every field to bring to this book a record of our past year. Gladyce Willson. assistant editor, commanded the activities and women ' s athletics. Besides, she did most of the mounting. Instead of a pistol, Weldon Adams had a camera to do his shooting. He is responsible for the college section. Jerry, use discretion, said Sam Duff when Geraldine Galusha was mount- ing snaps. But as she had a whole section to do, some queer poses slipped in. Originality characterizes the art work of the book, and it would be, coming from William Brooke. Bill was only told to draw the pages and he furnished the ideas. Dwight Babcock edited the men ' s athletic section. He says it ' s no fun to watch an exciting game and try to trace the play on paper. As assistant business manager, Einar Ahnstedt had the job of writing all letters and typing all copy. Now Red is off of typewriters for life. Sam Duff, faculty advisor, and his trusty pen, boldly attempted to conquer the glaring faux-pas committed by the staff. We wish to thank the following for their work on this Buccaneer even though they were not on the staff: James Algar for drawings, Lyle Jackson for track pictures of out-of-town meets, Louis Pape for assistance with the snaps, and Gale Griswold and his camera club for developing and printing pictures. — Erma Davis. — George Plopper.
