The work of the News staff is ap- parently a futile job — for after one issue is printed, there is then another one to think about, and then another. Co-Editors Al Ofsson and Dave Johnson and Sports Editor Chuck Green were constantly hounding the reporters to try and meet deadlines, but every other Wednesday all the headaches were forgotten when the rush toward the stack of papers in Old Main resulted in gratifying expressions on the faces of the students. Working on the staff of writers were Marge Almloi, Fran Kare, Caryl Anderson, Fred Tripp, Sonya Ottoson, Marietta Lauer, Ken Yoder, Shirley Bystrom, Joan Nelson, and Jim Thomp- son. Without the help and guidance of Mr. E. Gustav Johnson, faculty advisor, the News could never attain the suc- cess it enjoys. 170

Are they really dunces? No, far from that! Those original chapeaus you have been seeing around campus fit on the pointed heads of the potential members of the National Honor So- ciety. These students have been selected on the basis of their leadership, scho- lastic and character ratings to become members of this national organization. The North Park Chapter was this year headed by Preston Kelly, presi- dent; Allan Johnson, vice-president; Marilyn Severson, secretary; Carol Nelson, treasurer; and Marsha McDan- iel, social chairman; and Miss Back- lund, faculty advisor. Activities for the year included the compiling of a school directory and the direction of the Tuesday Evening Se- ries in both the spring and fall. Row 1: M. Severson, C. Nelson, P. Kelly. M.

Now that it is all finished, and the 1953 Cupola is in your hands, we hope you like it as well as we do. It wa wonderful fun. X , ' Twas the night before deadline! fust to the left of the book store, the light burned brightly. One could see the tired, but determined, figures of co- editors, Marilyn Severson and Preston Kelly — one drawing odd patterns on the neatly lined paper -- the other searching frantically through a stack of photographs. The typewriter clicked spasmodically - - Chuck Green, our sports editor, was putting down on pa- per the thrills and spills of the last year ' s Viking teams for posterity in this 1953 Cupola. Huddled in the corner were Carol Wilson, Janel Mulder and Deppie Cos- tas compiling the material on clubs and other sections, and, lest we forget, thanks to our photographers Ken Hirst and Ron Berg for their prospectus in capturing the pictures in this book. Last but not least, our very best thanks for the inspiration of our advisor, Mr. E. Gustav Johnson, whose salty good humor has weathered this dead- line storm year after year. 171
