OUR THE a. OF THE GREATER PROBLEMS IN THE CREA- TION OF A YEARBOOK IS THAT OF CHOOSING A THEME. THIS WAS AN UPPERMOST THOUGHT IN THE MIND OF THE EDITOR AND HIS STAFF FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE QUESTION WAS RAISED: WHY HAVE A THEME, AT ALL? THE ANSWER WAS THAT A THEME WAS NEEDED TO FACILITATE DECORATION. WE CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO PARTICULAR POINT IN GROPING IN THE VAST EXTENT OF ACTIVITY AND LIFE FAR AWAY FROM OUR CAMPUS FOR AN IDEA ABOUT WHICH TO BUILD THE BOOK, EVEN IF SOME THEME OF THIS NATURE MORE EASILY LENDS ITSELF TO DECORATION. WHY NOT USE OUR OWN INFORMAL CONTENTS • OUR COLLEGE • OUR CLASSES • OUR ATHLETICS • OUR ACTIVITIES • THE FEATURES TOP TO BOTTOM: Light, Annou ' ncements, Pictures, Sodas,

ME CAMPUS LIFE AS A THEME? WELL, WHY NOT? NO REASON. SO, LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE PROBLEM WE FIND THAT NO OTHER COULD OUITE BE SO INTERESTING AND DECORATIVE AS A PICTORIAL CROSS SECTION OF OUR EVERY- DAY LIFE HERE ON THE CAMPUS. AS A RESULT WE HAVE TRIED TO MAKE THIS BOOK AN INFORMAL ONE, OR AT LEAST MUCH MORE INFORMAL THAN ITS PREDECESSORS. SOME READERS WILL CONTEND THAT WE HAVE STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS, AND SOME WILL THINK THAT WE HAVE NOT GONE FAR ENOUGH. BE THAT AS IT MAY, WE HOPE THAT THE GREATER PORTION OF THE STUDENT BODY WILL BE THOROUGHLY SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF OUR LABORS, WHICH WERE ALL THE MORE RIGOROUS AND EXACTING DUE TO THE GREATER NUMBER OF PICTURES TO BE SCHEDULED AND MADE AS WELL AS THE DECISIVE CHANGE IN PAGE LAYOUTS AND ARRANGEMENTS. THE ANNUAL IS DIVIDED INTO FIVE PRINCIPAL SECTIONS. THESE ARE THE SAME WORN-OUT DIVISIONS, BUT FOR THE WANT OF BETTER ONES WE HAVE ORGANIZED THE BOOK THE SAME WAY. THE COLLEGE, THE STUDENTS, THEIR ATHLETICS, THEIR ACTIVITIES AND THE FEATURES OF THE BOOK COMPRISE THE DIVISIONS. THE BOOK IS ORGANIZED MORE OR LESS LOGICALLY, SO WE ASK YOU TO BEGIN AT THE FRONT AND READ TOWARD THE BACK, NOT IGNORING THE WRITTEN MATTER. IF, WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, YOU DO NOT LIKE THE BOOK . . . WELL, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! TOP TO BOTTOM: Store, Model, Commencement, Football, Gun.
