Our college news is printed weekly. The challenging job of informing interested Elm- hurst College friends about past, current, and future items of interest is left up to the Elmbark staff. This group of interested workers always seems to find time each week to put out a newspaper that will keep the public informed of college-connected ac- tivities. With each new paper, the staff finds them- selves assigned specific jobs, and then thei ' r work be- gins. Reports, interviews, and a lot of leg work pro- duce the necessary copy for the editor ' s desk. After any necessary additions or corrections, the paper is thoroughly laid out for the printer. This dummy includes previews of future campus affairs, recog- nition due any group or individual for some activity, the sport ' s page, personal interviews, reviews, special columns, informal campus chatter, and advertising. The job is not ended yet, for there is always proof reading, stuffing the student ' s mailboxes in Old Main, and the mailing of the papers to subscribers. Say it ' s a big job? You bet! As one issue is completed they begin again with another smile on a new issue to inform the campus of college news. JP l l ' tJ 1 y Raw 1: M. Heina, J. Campanella, J. Schlueter, G. Coleman, J.

College Band sparkles at home games. Because of the lack of participation this year, the Elmhurst College Band has been reduced to the function of a pep band. The twelve to fifteen mem- ber band performed faithfully at all the home foot- ball and basketball games. Thus, it provided that ex- tra spark of school spirit so appreciated by the team and the fans alike. In addition to playing for football and basketball games, the band took part in a rousing pep assembly. During the first semester the band sought to practice every Wednesday night. After Christmas the practices discontinued due to final examinations and Wednesday night basketball games. Through out the year, the band was directed by Mr. Robert E. Restemeyer, who also played the baritone. Mostly marches and swing tunes were played by the band, and this peppy music was brought to a close with the end of the basketball season. It is truely unfortunate that more students can ' t take the opportunity to join with these faith- ful members and their pleasant music to expand the band for performances. Caught in the act of performance at one of the basketball games, the Elmhurst College Band goes on unaware as they play a peppy march during half time. ■

Years summary is published annually Yes, Marlene, which one shall ive use? Every publication has its beginning point, and this 1959 Elms began to take shape over a year ago as the new editor and her staff heads met to plan out a theme and layout for the book. Throughout the sum- mer work was carried on so that when school started in the fall, work could fall into line as scheduled. But as always, plans became disrupted through activities, organizations, and campus personnel changing. Never- theless, the staff continued working to put out an annual which would contain memories of all phases of college life. To compile the material for this volume, pictures had to be taken and often retakes so that only the best material could be used. Social events had to be covered so that campus activities could later be re- membered. Advertisements had to be sold to help defray the expense of the yearbook. The cover had to be designed and approved. Copy had to be written so that the book could be tied together to express its purpose. Printing deadlines had to be met, then came the job of proofreading. This seemingly endless job finally reached its conclusion as the staff opened the packing cases, examined the ' 59 Elms, and handed them out to the eagerly awaiting student body. Row 1: M..
