ime ounts lt took courage to edit a book immediately after the war, when labor and materials were so very expensive and hard to get. Mr. Sundermann, our faculty adviser for the MAROON AND WHlTE BUSINESS BOARD, had the courage and determination to launch that drive. His busy bees, the Annual Reps, were buzzing around their Home Rooms in September, collecting sub- scribers' names and money, so that by the middle of October they were ready to report their totals, which resulted in the printing of about 600 books. Their speed was a great aid to the editors, who anxiously awaited the news as to how much spending money was available toward making the book a honey . Mr. Allis, our cover man was hurriedly summoned, and the padded cover to inclose ll2 pages was decided upon by a joint IQOI' USQ Q98 committee of editors and business managers. ln addition to the Annual Reps were the cleri- cal workers who made photo appointments, kept bookkeeping accounts, and did the secretarial work. Sylvia Hamlin, with assistant Patricia Kelly, was the manager for the fall term, and Dolores Pantuso, assisted by Betty Sotty, served for the Spring term. The total workers numbered 52.

inze lpczifs for 720 C9119 If anyone wanted to have a few gray hairs or some wrinkles for distinction, all he had to do was join the MAROON AND WHITE EDITO- RIAL BOARD. These signs of work and fatigue were guaranteed to appear. Barbara Brady, the Literary Editor, and Ethel Tiberg, Co-Editor, seriously considered going into seclusion in a cave high up in the Adirondacks where they knew they couldn't see a calendar with the dead-line date encircled in red. Co-editor George Linabury, bent double over the task of proofreading and records verifying, when mumbling over his work, might have been mistaken for an inmate of Grasslands. But-all kidding aside-we had a swell bunch of workers who, when dead lines be- gan to loom on the horizon, buckled down to good hard pen shoveling. Hildegarde Mayer, our hustling Art Editor, kindled sparks of fire from that prolific producer of cartoons, Bob Muson. james Skerritt and Hil- degarde vied with one another for the honor of producing the division pages. Ronnie Schneider, Sports Editor, kept the ball in motion, I mean the ball-point pen-, and Typist Editor loan Levine. with her loyal co- workers, Frances Buhrig and Irene Solomon, kept the steady rat-a-tat of busy little woodpeckers on our two Maroon owned typewriters. We had some poets, but didn't know it, until the day loan Kroll, at one sitting, rolled a poem off the assembly line, the gem found on page sixteen. And Barbara Brady, gifted artist as well as journalist, not to be outdone by loan, pro- duced an entertaining poem about fashions, which you will enjoy if you turn to page 68. Loyal hard working toilers not shown in our group photo were Leda Polinger, Irene Solomon, Barbara Lewittes, janet Bliss, Bill Weinrod, loan Kroll, and Doris Rutherford, who deserve more than casual mention for their hard work. This book would not have been possible with- out the assistance and help of our two advisers, Miss Nourse and Miss Quinlan. We wish to thank them for the many hours of work they gave to us to make possible the publishing of this book. MAROON AND WHITE EDITORIAL BOARD lBeIowI Row I: H. Mayer, B, Brady, P. Fox, G.

CQWJVCH1 PIIQIIIIC to gfeep Qack Gfocks Rush that copyl Set that typel You didn't have to speak journalistic jargon to guess where you'd hear those words. At a HI-NEWS meeting, naturally. Mr. Copp and staff managed to put out the largest school paper in Westchester County at the smallest cost. It was quite a job to get the paper out so often, as any harried reporter could have told you. It always was a race against time. Their greatest problem was to interest the stu- dent body and they always came through with a swell paper. It you had ever wanted to start a club, you would have come into contact with Miss Young's SCHOOL INTERESTS COMMITTEE. They ap- plied tor charters tor clubs, approved club budg- ets and awarded non-athletic honors. Quite an important committee when you realize that we had some 40 odd clubs here.
