THE EDITOR'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT In editing this year book we have tried to break away from previous patterns and present a book which is modern and yet not modernistic. For any small measure of success that we may have we are indebted first and foremost to our adviser Mr. Harry F. Smart who bore the lion's share of the worries and setbacks that are inevitable. Without his aid and guidance this book could not have been published. For insuring the success of this book we owe a debt of gratitude to Quacken-bush Department Store for the excellent photography contained herein. We wish also to thank the following persons: Jack Wilkin-for his aid in pasting prints and his all around clowning. Mrs. Lyle-for the use of her cutter which by some miracle was returned to her. Mr. Robert Dimond and Miss Sara Martin for their cooperation and patience. The janitors who opened Room 64 on the numerous occasions when we locked ourselves out. .Dave Eilenberg for his candid pictures and divider pages. To all the others who have given help and encouragement we offer our heartfelt thanks. GEORGE LEFFERTZ and MARTIN PLATT, Editors-in-Chief.
