'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.

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. ' Second semester business manager, Datus Brown, shown withscopy girl, Pat Sides ttop righti spent many afternoons in Pomona and Claremont soliciting ads. Ubiquitous Rich Frank tbelow righti, his camera and photographic skill were respon- sible for a large percentage of the photographs.

t guiding cu in a Daria ft, of jn tereA t4 WERE THE PROFESSORS, who combined knowl- edge and wisdom with patience, understanding and humor. Their task was to guide students objectively and purposefully, With respect for individual ability and personality. They sought to teach a well-balanced method of approaching problems and a realistic method of resolving them. From them we learned the necessity of taking a broad View of questions, of weighing the present with past and future. Their attitude toward their work is summed up in the phrase often heard in intro- ducing a course to new students: This is not a destina- tion but a journey. Representative of this attitude is Lee, who, besides carrying all government classes during the first semes- ter, was prominent in student activities, particularly in SPAC functions. Another is Vieg, who came here from the International Relations section of the Budget Bureau at Washington, D. C. At the beginning of the second term he assumed half of the beginning government classes and the International Relations course, and he also led student current-event discussions.
