Friel1dS who know were much sought after by those students doing the faculty write- ups when they just couldn't get a thing on Miss So-and-So of Such-and-Such Depart- ment . Not all were so fortunate as Carol Kyper, who, on hearing she was to include Mr. Korn in her write-up, said, Ulm that's easy-he lives near us and l know all sorts of things about him . Perhaps, from the stand- point of the faculty, it is better that all writers did not have Carols advantage. Sometimes the in- formation was hard to get-we know that when Vera Dunn asked us what we knew ab-out Miss Lane we tactfully referred her to Miss VVatson, saying she might be much more helpful. tVVe've already gotten into too many scrapes, and value our young head too much to lay it open to any more assaults, verbal or otherwise. Wle're being careful from now on.j XYriting up the faculty might have offered some writers a chance to avenge themselves for an ill-deserved ninth hour, only the writing staff never, never, get in wrong-much. The club representatives had a rather difficult time of it, for they were compelled to tell about com- ing events by only the shadows cast before. Deadlines, you know, do not permit waiting until the last minute to get a story through. However, the semesters programs had all been arranged and the record is therefore complete .... the stories all in on time, that is all but that of the ever-procrastin- ating editor-the pictures all taken-nothing left but the actual printing and binding of the book. Here again you hear of the dummy-first a working dummy, a very crude atfairg then the en- graveris dummy. with a few very attractive sketches, and really straight margins, and then the paste- up dummy-that with the engraverls proofs and the copy set up as it should appear in hnal form. Copy and proofs-well, they have to be checked and rechecked. corrected and re-corrected. and still errors will creep in. Reading proof calls for a pair of gimlet eyes and a lexicographer's knowledge, stretching or shrinking it to meet the ascribed length almost calls for higher mathematicsibut, oh, the satisfaction over a perfect page! Now, and only now. do we begin to see how our fflllllftll will appear. To those of you who asked XVill the -flmzzml be any bigger this year?', we can say proudly, Yes, look at it, almost two hundred pagesf' To those who wanted to know about the pictures, See for yourself-you'll admit thcy're at- tractive. To those who asked about the cover, wondering, perhaps, how it would compare with those of other years. well, you have seen it, and we hope it has pleased you. Now all that remains is to turn the pages-locate your friends' pictures, read the write-ups, and keep the book you helped make possible, the book which records all the interesting and outstanding events of a happy school year.
