Under the active direction of Mr. Erdman a staff was selected and Russell Staudacher, senior from Saginaw, was again elected to take over the duties of editor. Richard Bendall, another retention from the 38 edition was placed at the head of the Business Managership. Under the direction of Lois Goldie the subscription cam- paign advanced despite opposition from various sources and the sales ot the book mounted' until it was apparent that over 375 copies would be sold to students alone. An inno- vation of last year, that ot giving the various larger high schools complimentary copies was carried over again with copies going to over one hundred schools. A new theme was carried out in the edition, and popu- larity contests were substituted for the Hall of'Farne of last year. Henry Fonda, popular movie star, was selected for the honor of choosing the three prettiest Alma girls. His results are shown elsewhere. The chief aim of the Scotsman was to present a pictorial View of the events of the year which has just passed. The editors feel they have done this. 88
