Especially the 1950 Staff is to be congratulated on its fine work and its assistance to the Editor. If the same spirit of cooperation can be shown in the future. The Columns will continue to be bigger and better as the years roll by. At this time, the Editor wishes to thank those who have materially contributed toward the publication of The Columns by means of their advertisements. May yotir rewards be just. The fact that all of the students of Athens College are not pictured in this year ' s annual is a matter of deep regret. May the time soon come when The Columns can boast Students pictured one hundred percent. Again, Thanks for the assistance that leaves nothing but pleasant memories. A) ' i y The Editor.
