Page 4 Throughout the school year students of Winfield city schools expectantly await the deliverance of the Oracles. Let us travel then to Room 219 where the journalism class daily holds session under the capable direction of Miss Helen Shrader. Upon entering the room you might be greeted by the looney tunes of Bill Brant, one of our versatile sports editors. Assisting Bill is his colleague, Bob Orahood, who needs no intro- duction. There's never a dull moment when this flashy senior is present. Gerrie Tuttle is never found in one place for long. The peppy Oracle editor gets things done in short order. Bill Nisbet too, keeps the halls busy as he goes after the low- down on what's going on in our music department. Just in front of Miss Shrader's desk you may see a huddle of curly locks ffemininej and they belong to the Four Fun Lovers, Nina Lamoree, Lily Demieville, Mary Aileen Alstrom, and Ruth McBride, reporters and associate editors respectively. These girls find diversion in heckling their stuflious neighbor, Scoop Myer our editorial and forensic genius. On 'iOracle Friday, Dorothy Dunbar, the class Hcut-up and mailing clerk and her faithful friends wrap the i'jillion Oracles for mailing. Hoisting the white peace flag she enlists the aid of our genial exchange editor, Har- old Snyder, who raids the files, collecting the snappy jokes which form an important feature of the paper. Jean Dilworth aids Dorothy in producing the Now Stop That column and keeping the class lively. James Peterson and Helen Bush also rate high in getting the dope that makes our paper click. Patty Yorke, feature editor, adds a sweet note of interest and does much in creating a pleasant class period. As an extra-super proofreader and all around handy man, Hugh Calvin, an associate editor rates tops in the journalism class. Last but not least, we recognize the foundation of the advertising solicitors. These are Donald Groves, Cecil King, Dorothy Will- iams, Bob Hughes and Vic Allen. The positions of these journa- lists on the Lagondon staff are given in the chart below. We wish also to call special attention to the following people: Virginia Baker, for the Remem- ber page: Dale Minear, for the cover design: Donald Groves and Cecil King for their excellent pho- tography work.

Mcmipulator. . . IT IS interesting to contem- plate the theme picture of this vol- ume and realize it's significance. Labor is essential. Without it, re- sources and capital are nothing. From one point of view a major function of education is to help youth to learn to labor effective- ly. And if we accept the demo- cratic ideal of education, which implies that all of the boys and girls should be taught to labor effectively and live happily, then the task becomes one of tremen- duous significance. To those of you who are leaving our portals this year, and to those who will leave in years to come We ex- press the hope, that somewhere in your life's experience in this school, through our varied pro- Page 5 gram of interests and activities, you will have found an interest and purpose in life, and activities that you enjoy, that will lead you to a vocation of service and a joy of living that will make the world richer for your presence. Whatsoever thy hand find- eth to do, do it with all thy might. Board of Education ...,,,,.,,. Dr. M. W. Baden Mr. L. C. Barnard, Pres. Mrs. R. B. Durdery Mr. R. E. Grerncr Mrs. Paul Guy Mr. Ray Hill
