first door off the corner of the men ' s dorm, down the four steps, in the maze of apparent disorder you may find three people, one is seemingly drawing vague shapes on oddly lined paper, another paces up and down the floor muttering to himself and the third, the only female of the group, bangs diligently on a typewriter, on the desk a heap of pictures and copy, the painful but precious labor of many a month. the staff this year has attempted to bring a change in yearbook composition through area relation, and emphasis of photographs in place of copy. most of the designing has been undertaken by editors ron magnu- son and ed dwyer while louise shumaker faithfully kept the typewriter keys warm and guided us through the dark hours which pre- ceded every deadline. it seemed that the day of our final dead- line would never arrive . . . but when march rolled around and the last layout had been turned over to the printer, there wasn ' t the expected rush from the office . . . the papers, photographs, rulers and pencils, were no longer strewn about, and the bell on the type- writer was not sounding the warning of an- other completed line . . . the office was strangely silent, once again we walked rather slowly up the four steps, opening the door we hesitated a moment . . . looking back at the empty desks we realized that another cupola had been completed . . . the lock clicked as we closed the door . . . not a word was spoken, but the feeling of sadness was evident. ?ditors cupola row 1: b. anderson, 1. shumaker, e. g.
