PEGGY MATTHEWS VE Y RAW 65.4, RICHARD FLAKNE CHARLES HANSON 'ff - THE UMEGA STAFF This being the most crucialvperiod of Ann Arbor High School's history, the Omega staff has worked hard all year to turn out a yearbook which would be worthy of the times. Under the leadership of Peggy Mat- thews and Charles Hanson as editors, Avery Grant and Dick Flakne as busi- ness managers, and Miss Duff as adviser, the staff started work in September. Aft- er Willard Booth's committee selected the theme, the quotation committee, un- der Rose Mary Marin's supervision, be- gan work on the senior write-ups. Rose Mary was also the recording secretary for staff meetings, Special recognition should be given to Marjory Hull, whose light and efficient touch appears in many important write-ups. She was the general handyman of the editorial staff. A pasting crew headed by Larry Dar- ling inaugurated the long task of mak- ing the dummy by mounting the pictures of the numerous handsome sen- iors. If one ventured into C-7 during the year at any time after school hours, he might find diligent pasters in the person of Helen Gillette, Barbara Gibson, Nancy Christman, Ed Schneider, or Celia Taylor, to mention a few, skillfully mounting photographs from the secret files of the Omega. Throughout the year Jeep Williams and his accomplice, Bob Perrin, might be glimpsed as they slyly snapped candids of unwary indi- viduals. Jeep also took many of the group pictures which appear in the Omega. The advertising staff canvassed the city for bigger and better ads, delving into stores, factories, and organizations previously uninvestigated. The result was a wider representation of Ann Arbor life. The sales of subscriptions in the school were boosted considerably by striking posters produced by the art staff under Mr. Asmus's direction. It was they, of course, who contributed the car- toons and symbols. Dick Schenk is to be commended on his appropriate cover design, and Herbert Tryon for his bird's- eye sketch of the school. With the hearty cooperation of the staff, the 1943 Omega was presented to its readers in June.
