The Groon Bag 1940 Rarsor The Curtan on the Second Contwuy When September, 1939, rolled around and sub- sequently, the first staff meeting, all members swore, as per custom, that the yearbook for 194 would be unique in every respect—so unique, in fact, that there would be no recognizable features of any previous Green Bac.

Student glossies came back from the engraver and, as organiza- tion write-ups were completed, Room 305 re- sembled more and more The Collegian office.
