Many interesting situations are encountered in all phases of the work. Take pho- tography, for instance. Buccaneer snapsman Kenneth Fosberg well re- members being kicked around in the wild San Mateo-Modesto mob follow- ing the big game . No doubt Wilson Moss recalls the perils that confronted his none-too-waterproof camera during the Hlming of the Frosh-Soph water- pull. There were pleasanter jobs, how- ever. The delightful and unhurried assignment of photographing the cam- pus' best-looking girls in their best- looking clothes brought no groans of protest from Leo Shoob and Editor Smith. Pictures, once taken, had to be mounted for eng1'aVing. Art Editor Hudelson reports burning twenty gal- lons of midnight oil on these and other art jobs. Coffee-stomachsv and first- class headaches were also enjoyed by the corps of copy-writers. Proof-reading was a bugaboo in itself. You can imag- ine the shout that went up when it was discovered that CID there were great spaces denoting insufficient copyg CZQ Gordon Pool,s name was cryptogram- med into the forewordg C31 whole John Patton Buccaneer Business Nlanager pages were printed upside down, and C45 Dorman Commons was not men- tioned on the yearbook staff. Things like these occasioned all kinds of show- downs, and quite often fur flew pro- fusely. Anyway, it's been a lot of fun work on the 1937 Buccaneer, hasn't it? To which a fatigued staff replies with a groan that denotes neither agreement nor disagreement, but a great feeling or relief. The 1937 Buccaneer Staff :ng-.17 -M.

CoS0Xmfy 1937 - BUCCANEER Omw , Edwin Smith, editor of the 1937 Buccaneer LAST SPRING Edwin Smith was elected Buccaneer editor, this spring the Buccaneer is issued. That sounds simple, but a long list could be made of the details which were involved between the election of the editor and the distribution of the Buc- caneer. First came the task of requesting, encouraging, begging sophomores to have their pictures taken for the Buc- caneer. Leo Shoob, former graduate of Modesto Junior College, was the oflicial photographer who shot', not only the upperclassmen in their formal poses, but who pictured important ac- tivities of the school year. Kenneth Fosberg and Wilson Moss, as student photographers, were respon- sible for snapshots and action pictures of the students in their less studious moments. ' Selection of the editorial staff was made in the spring semester with writ- ers being assigned articles covering all activities and events of the year 1936- 1937. Making assignments was com- paratively easyg getting them in before the deadline had entirely expired was a worry shared by the editor and staff. Bill Stebbins, veteran journalist of Collegian and Buccaneer, edited the sports department, with Donald Cal- kins, John Patton, and Joe Jones cov- ering athletic events of the year under his direction. Betty Chow was the writer for women's athletic activities. Buccaneer aft work and those clever feature page layouts were designed by Gracealberta Hudelson. Senechi Sa- kurai composed headings and page titles. Juliet Bidou was the hard-work- ing secretary of the staff. Betty Fitch was the rewrite member of the staff, correcting and editing copy. A technical process known as pho- tolith, done by the Stanford Press, is responsible for the unusual divisional scenes, which were photographed by Shoob. When the staff had written its last word and corrected the Hnal comma fault, the Buccaneer-to-be was placed in the hands of Simard and Mathes, Stockton printers. Next the year book was put between covers by Herbert Silvius of Sacramento. Cuts, too, were executed in Fresno, by Bee Engraving. Students writing for the Buccaneer were Carol Evans, Juliet Bidou, Ruth McC1eary, Gerry Barnett, June Hamil- ton, Betty Fitch, Phyllis Klinkhammer, Bill Stebbins, John Patton, Donald Cal- kins, and Betty Chow. The faculty adviser was Leonard I. Bartlett.
