SEATED Kolodny Zcrrkowsky Miss Brown Rubin Mr Forsmcm, Iafier, Tragos. STANDING: Gerstein, Gimpeison, Lipsxt To produce this yearbook for the students of Soldan-Blewett I-ligh School has been the job ot the REPLECTOR staii under the watchful eye of Mr. Forsman. Early in the tall term the staff was organized and duties assigned. The editor and sponsor planned layouts for all pages oi the book. A schedule for pictures ot clubs and athletic teams was drawn up and a day arranged with the school photographer. After pictures Were received from the photog- rapher they were mounted and sent to the engraver. When the plates Were finished they were sent directly to the printer and a plate proof was sent to the school, which if approved by the editor and sponsor, were pasted in the dummy on the proper pages in exactly the positions they were to occupy in the book. About the middle of March the campaign for yearbook subscriptions was started. This went on for about four Weeks.
