Behind the I9lI-ll- De Rebus N A major decision that has presented itself to the Seniors of the past several years is whether or not to have an annual and, if so, what kind of an annual should it be. This year the staff and the student body in general Wanted the annual to include a heavy binding, mention the members in the armed forces and as always, record our school activities of the year. Mr. Black was chosen sponsor and can be accredited much of the success of the annual. With Jack Lowery as Editor-in-chief and Marion Duff as Managing editor, the combination of the two became an accustomed sight after several weeks of working on the staff. Jack's other henchmen were Mary Eckert as Circulation editor, Leta Stratford as Advertising manager, Bob Fuhr as Sports writer and George Roberts as Copy editor. Joan Walworth and John Manning drew many entertaining cartoons while Jack Lowery, in addition to pen sketches, made two sketches with lithograph pencil. Margaret Clarke was responsible for many of the snappy slogans and headings in the annual and Sheila Jones, Stan Whippo, Ethel Loos, Betty Graham, Betty Hentig, Virginia Jeffries, Addie Edmondson, Paul Lawry, Bill Doerr, Stan Ewing, and Bob Fuhr deserve credit for the write-ups of the seniors and various articles in the annual on clubs, sports, the faculty, and the administration. Guy West can be thanked for several of the snaps on the Snap page. The annual campaign in the school this year was done through personal contact. Each room had a representative and it was the job of this person to contact every member in his room. These representatives did an outstanding successful job. They were: Sheila Jones, John Baker, Leta Stratford, Marion Duff, Paul Lawry, Bob Fuhr, Lois Drastrup, Mary Eckert, Bud Thomas, Margaret Baird, and Bill Doerr. On top of this successful school campaign, the advertising campaign also proved profitable. Larry Spencer, Stan Whippo, Lois Bright, Bob Ifuhr, Addie Edmondson, Bud Utberg, and Marion Duff canvassed the towns and city around us and brought home the bacon. George Roberts read just about everything that went into the annual and gave it his O.K. To him can be accedited what correct grammar there is in this annual. These people, one and all, worked together to accomplish the task of publishing this book. It will serve as their reward. fail X pf-T W Walt' . Ae , .,3. ' tl -l m,
