Mr, Portertield Financial Adviser ..,..,., Mr, Arnold Oh boyl Oh boyl Just look at those rounded corners and that tancy sports section, This year the division pages and covers may be considered as entirely orig- inal, because of the ingenuity ot our art editor. instead ot taking a ready made illus- trated cover, Richard l-letz did his own illustrating, The sports section is varied from last year by the newspaper set-up. This year the annual statt took a number ot trips to various cities, to visit plants and see collections ot annuals from other schools, They tirst took a trip to Fresno to a convention, where new ideas were obtained. Later the statt went to Bakersfield to see the Warren Year Book collection. The statt was later invited by the Los An- geles Engraving Company to visit their plant, so the group, accompanied by Mr. and lvlrs. Portertield, went to Los Angeles and spent a day in looking over the en- graving equipment, The printing ot the book was done by Schauer Printing Studio ot Santa Barbara, the engraving by the Los Angeles Engraving Company, photography by Dorman's Studio in Bakersfield, and the covers by Babcock Cover Company, Los Angeles, On the whole we hope and believe that the annual this year is a successful and representative book, and we wish to thank all those who cooperated with the annual statt in putting out the l937 Laurion.

CJFFICE AND LIBRARY STAFF This year the Library statt was kept very, very busy. They had the responsibil- ity ot being in charge ot and running the entire library, This consists ot checking books in and out, tiling magazine copies, and keeping new magazines on the racks in the study hall, Another task is in direct connection with the English ottice. That is to keep all those magazines and books in monthly order, And by the looks ot the piles ot them in there maybe it would be just as nice to be something else as be on that statt. Once, upon noticing that someone had set a bookcase on the tloor, mak- ing a little more than a path to walk in from one end ot the room to the other, lvlr. Portertield looked about, scratched his head and asked, What happened in here? l can't stand the idea ot so much extra spacel and moved in another tab'e to pile books on, Dorothy Johnson is head student librarian. Outstanding work in cataloging and marking books was done by three treshman girls, Ruby Froese, Margaret Gaede, and Charlet l-lerman. ' Our library is growing at the rate ot about one hundred books a year. lvlany ot the additions this year were in attractive tiction, ln the principal's ottice is an assisting statt under Lena Shultz, lvlr, Janes' sec- retary, who directs them in ottice work. Their duties are to keep the office records, write and distribute detention cards, keep the books tor the student tunds, tile absence slips, distribute notices to all classes, and help in any way they might to aid the secretary, l ' T T if I I iw' jj f 'Ul Page Twenty three
