MIRROR The Mirror staff this year has been faced with problems unprecedented in the yearbook ' s history. Due to the war, it has had to observe strict and rigid deadlines on both copy and photographs. The staff has also been faced with the problems of reduction in supplies and transportation difficulties. The members of the editorial department have done, on the whole, a grand job in sticking it through, even though the opera, exams, and College Boards were taking much of their time. The advertising staff, too, has done a fine job in soliciting ads all up and down the North Shore, as well as from generous parents, to keep theMirroroutof the red. Our gifted artist, whose cartoons adorn these festive pages, can certainly be acclaimed as a mistress of wit and a slave to duty — even a tempting ski trip to Phelps didn ' t keep her from meeting the deadline. One of the most vital departments of the Mirror, on which, to a large extent, everything depends, photographic department. This year we were fortunate enough to get a lot of cooperation during the football season from a number of freshman and sophomore girls whose snaps are on the snap pages. For sports, drama, and several events we called on our staff photographer to come to the aid of the party, and the pictures he took will long be remembered for their clarity and style. The last department of any great importance is the financial department. Under this category is found subscriptions, orders, and, alas, bills of large order and description. This year, through a new bookkeeping system, the finances have been handled more efficiently than ever before, and our subscription rate is out- standing. We, the editors of this year ' s book, want to thank Mr. Thomas, Miss Kastrup, Mr. Brashears, and all those who have helped to make this Mirror become an actuality. We wish the best of luck to next year ' s staff, and advise them to have the baseball, May Day, and; Senior Play pictures taken in October. 22 the

PURPLE AND WHITE The principal aim of the Purp thisyearhas been togive equal representation toall fourclasses of the high school. In the past, upper classmen have generally been the Purp ' s main con- tributors. We realized that this is not only unfair in any important controversy, but also that the Purp is less interesting to those classes not represented on the staff. For this reason we have been glad to have many contributors from the Freshman and Sophomore classes as well as from the Junior and Senior. In this way, we have been able to divide the articles throughout the year so that there were not too many assignments for any one person. This year ' s Purp staff was the largest of all staffs in recent years. All classes of the high school were represented, either in the edi- torial, business, or advertising departments. A lot of talent was un- covered in the Freshman and Sophomore classes and we feel sure that the Purps of the next few years will be well worth reading. The editors would like to thank the whole school for its cooperation and helpful suggestions and wish next year ' s staff a less severe state of emotional frustration ' ' than ours has been. 23
