N TIME an Olympiad, however good or bad, be- comes endeared to students, especially to seniors. But a few facts about its production might encourage appreciation of the task it is to prepare and publish this yearbook-a year-long project. planned from the opening days of school in the fall and brought to consummation in the hurricane days that herald graduation and the twilight of another 180 days of education. First, the selection of a theme. Then, organization of the book, so that it will cover the year's activities attractively. The theme must be worked into the book. N i Inf' , J , f ' . . x M . .H ,1 z ,- ' x I AREFUL budgeting must be adhered to. Pictures are taken, mounted in panels, and sent to the engraversfWest- ern Engraving and Colortype Company, Seattle. Two dum- mies, showing exact position and arrangement of all copy, captions, cutlines, engravings and art work, must be prepared fone for the staff and one for the print shop-Quick Print in Olympia. Proofs must be searched meticulously for errors. After several weeks' printing, the guts of the book are ship- ped to the binders-Ward's Bindery of Seattle-to be sewed and bound in the covers. It has taken months to prepare these covers at the plant of Becktold.Cornp in St. Louis, Mo. v' .e Y !.5e-.3 ' ? 5,vx 1 1 FFERING tribute to the genius of the Olympiad art director, Frank Murdoch, the Farwest Lithograph and Printing Company of Seattle made the beautiful five-color lithograph of the Mexican pageantry scene, and sent it to the binders, to be tipped in as the outstanding feature of the book. Ten days were required for the binding of the 1100 volumes. Farther on in the book is a page listing the names of Olympia merchants and citizens whose kind contributions made it possible to pay for reproduction of Frank's oil, Mark O'Leary deserving much credit for solicitation of these funds, with Les Steele helping .... Yes, behind this Olympiad are many long, dreary hours of toil on the part of those who labored to make it a success. And now it is yours, another memory book of O.H.S. for you to have and to cherish through the years.
