Sheila Janssen Associate Editor Associate Editor — GEM OF Tie MOUNTAINS STAFE Editor-in-Chief Been waiting long? We hopa you've been patient, because we've been trying to get it to you as fast as possible. But we kept losing engravings and misplacing copy and so forth Excuses, excuses, excuses. But anyway, here is your Gem of the Mountains You'll notice some changes in arrangement this year. For one, the seniors are broken down into schools, and their majors are given. For two, the military section is placed between the frosh and sophomore sections, becausé the ROTC’s are most closely connected with those classes. For three, the year’s sports record has been incorporated into the student life section, and is broken down into fall, winter and spring sports activities, And for four, men’s and women’s intramural sports have been placed in the living groups section, Confused? In this book we have tried to depict a year at Idaho as you actually live. We've tried to make the 'S2 Gem more than dance pictures and sports pictures and a morass of sodden faces, We've tried to inject life into the book by depicting some of the things done by the “‘little fellow,”’ the quys and gals who never make the headlines, Whether we have succeeded or not is up to our most capricious judge, you. In following this editorial attack, we've stepped on a few toes. Some people in both the student and university administration refuse to believe that students do the things students do. They would be horrified to know the number of invaders into the steam tunnels, the number of I'' tank climbers, or the gross weekly intake (both monetary and liquid) at Wright's. But students will be students, and Gems (unorthodox and bewildering and shocking as they may be) will be Gems. Some people sign up to work on the Gem, and then are never seen again. Some of those that we have seen a lot of this year, working diligently on the various staffs, are the people pictured on the opposite page. They are (upper left), Ed Hanson, LaVerne Gibson, Elinor Coleman, Mary Kay Johnson, Mary Carroll, Pat Long, Betty Petersen. (Upper right) Bill Hass- ler, Parke Gerard, John Thomas, Deral Springer.
