gumming up the WAS THE OVERWHELMING TASK OF THE METATE STAFF. Each year, for many years, it has been the objective of Metate editors to give Pomona a yearbook which was unique and sincere. Turmoil, grief, fun and work have gone along with this job. The first thing we asked was, Just what is Pomona? Each editor tries to show it in his or her own way. This year, after much questioning and argument, we de- cided to write a letter, showing what hap- pens at Pomona, and how it happens. It seems simple? Perhaps, but after eight months of pictures, layouts, dummies, and copy, the actual publishing of the Metate is a cause of amazement to all of us. Ma- terials, money, film and literary expression were hard to obtain . . . but we found that basically a yearbook is- made up of time, energy, and ideas. We have many persons to thank for their donation of these.

Ubiquitous Rich Frank tbelow righti, his camera and photographic skill were respon- sible for a large percentage of the photographs.

'lte CampuA IN THE TRADITION of all big-city editors, Skip Husing shouted orders to her lowly subordinates, composed provocative editorials, and appro- priated ecclesiastical terminology in vain. Organizer, innovator and diplo- mat, in the S. L. office Husing was in- deed God. IN AN ATMOSPHERE of explosive phones and epileptic typewriters, With pictures of race horses and venerable gentlemen lining the walls, twice each week the Student Life evoked the jour- nalistic muse. Empty souvenirs of joy- ous pasts on the file case, and a floor stained by the marks of many cigarette butts to inspire the motley crowd as- sembled within the hallowed confines of the Publications office. Here Klipper, Bunnelle, Kelly, Craig, Johnson, and Strehle shaped their tribute to Chris- tian civilization, by contrast if not by example. Known for its Vigor and its noise, the Student Life staff kept the college informed of campus doings and of its own.

'lfedr With proofs in her hand and glue in her hair, Barbara Johnston spent twenty-eight hours a day in the shambles of the Metate office, fighting the limitations imposed on annuals by the war. Handicapped by reduction in size, Johnny per- sistently labored over layouts, assisted by Don Lord, Betty Harper and Orville Saltsman. In Charge of all copy was ever-smiling, hardworking Marge Cameron in the position of Assistant Editor. While Business Manager Datus Brown produced more ads than any previous annual, Sides work- ed in her official capacity as copywriter, photo- graphic scheduler, camera and coke-carrier.
