■ Pleaiy eyes, jangled nerves, ami the calming ; .-1 of iKo Si iun sponsor, Mr. Trump, have all !- n contributing factors in making this year- book possible. It has been a long grinding pro- -«'ss since tin- publication of last year's Spirit until the formal presentation of this one. We hope you will appreciate your hook more fully after reading the following story of how the Spirit budded, blosomed. and finally bloomed. The major person to whom all your thanks can go was the versit ile editor. Jackie Andre, who organized and combined the separate de- partments to form one unit, with the assistance of P arb Kurtz. The selection of the cover was made last summer by the staff. The art editor. Karen Allen, was given two dummies, so called because they are the patterns from which the book is compiled. Karen drew in layouts on each page of both dummies, designat- ing the proper place for copy, pictures, and ads. From this step the art editor gave the measure- ments and page numbers to the proper depart- ments. The ad department, which consisted of Rose- mary Summers and Kathy Howell, sold ads, pasted layouts, assigned pictures, and conferred with the printers. Roscy worked with John Puf- fett. business manager, in keeping a balance between income and expenses. Jan Judisch. photography editor, relayed the suggestions of the art editor and submitted as- signments to her able staff of photographers: Steve Wells. John Talbert, and Charles Klopf. Approved pictures were numbered and sent to the Tru-Art Engravers in Cedar Rapids. The pictures were here reproduced on zinc plates mounted on wooden blocks called cuts which were sent to the Greenwood Printing Company. The printers then, by using their dummy, made the final layout with the actual cuts and type. The copy department. Delores Robbins and Mary McTaguc. wrote articles, typed them, and fit them into the various layouts. After the type was set. proofs were made to eliminate any error. The presses were then ready to roll, but there is still one major department headed by Mary Platt which was indispensiblc. Her staff is com- posed of everyone who purchased a Spirit —and we’d just like to say thunks for all of your help!
