Such things did not diminish the en- thusiasm of the editors, however, and they waited eagerly until the actual printing of the book began, and they could make daily trips to the printers. As more and more sections were completed, with the pictures carefully pasted on their spaces, with a p generous amount of paste smeared around the edges, and captions flapping under every picture, and the copy for each page numbered and re-numbered to avoid any mistakes, it became necessary for the editors to become experienced proof readers. VVhether to check the omis- sion of a comma or an and, when it meant a change in line-up of an entire line, or even paragraph, was a question that came up far too often to suit those in charge of the check-up. HTO be, or not to be,', was the slogan of those harassed beings, as they had to decide time and time again as to the importance of certain words or phrases in a paragraph, when the copy extended too far towards the bottom of the page. As the strips of galley came off the presses at the North American Press, it was necessary to check and re-check against errors, to add words, or subtract words, in order that the page be the required length, to acquire a tenacious memory so that when the question arose as to whether a name was spelled with an ein or an ie , it could be settled then and there, and corrected. When the copy had been set up, and came off the presses in huge sheets, the actual cutting of pages and binding together of pages and cover followed-the second last Ubridgen had been crossed! After the color-scheme for the cover had been decided, and the materials selected, it was still neces- sary to choose the 'fend-pages , those colored pages between the cover and the actual material. XYavering hncertainly between choosinga creamy ivory or any other color in the spectrum, those in charge of the Annual remained undecided until the last possible moment, when they finally selected what you now see. This momentous decision over, the advisors waited anxiously for the completed flnnntzl to see how the hnished product compared with that in their imagination. It compared most fav- orably. .Xnd now the book is yours. XVHo's A DUNCE? Unwzafmd PAGE 19

2 O00 SUBSCRIPTIONS IF You PLEASE ! Bernice Krause, Ass't Bookkeeper Irma Strothenke, Ass't Bookkeeper Dorothy Geske, Bookkeeper furie Steirzaicker, Bookkeeper Lucille Geiger, Stenographer our teachers are self-conscious. Many of them didn't want their pictures taken in front of a class, but insisted that the room be emptied first. In an effort to take the faculty pictures someplace different from the usual classroom or corridor, one group of teachers was taken into the attic!'. To reach this, it was necessary to crawl through steel bars and along uneven floors and then to squeeze through the little cubby-hole of a door, and on into a small square room, enclosed by a sky-light. Daisy Estes, the Organization Editor, was particularly fascinated by the place, and after the picture had been taken and the photographers and teachers had departed, she remained to explore this interesting room. As she cautiously lifted one of the many covers in the floor, she heard Miss Lane closing the attic door from the outside, and clambered through the door just in time to save herself from being locked in. More than one senior biographer mourned the day he ever saw a questionnaire. Before his section was finally finished, corrected, and accepted, he was a walking shadow, a poor player that fretsu but never struts. The timid soul, the bane of every biographer, too modest to put down Ugreat mo-m,ents', or exciting experiences, gave his writer-upper many a headache, for the biographer was forced to chase from one person to another, inquiring feverishly 'fDo you know anything about ...... ...... ? 'y Representatives of the various clubs had their troubles, too, when they came to writing the activity stories. Deadlines wait for no one, and stories had to be in the write-up. Trying to make a minstrel show, a tennis match, or a water carnival materialize before the calendar date set is not easy, but it was done. fOr wasn,t it?j YVith the engraver requesting more pictures and the printer clamoring for copy, the editor was kept in a state of general dishevelment, pasting dummies, checking picture and cut-numbers, and distracted- ly endeavoring to remember whether a print was being made of such-and-such a picture and conse- quently was down at the engraver's, or whether it is was still in one of the boxes in Mr. Korn's office. just when she was firmly convinced that this was the one day she could be in her Public Speaking class a call from the printer that another section should be brought immediately, if possible, meant a fever- ish scurry for comp-le-ted copy, and an up-hill down-dale search for information as to the name of the people in the pictures. Cornered teachers or unwary students proved helpful. Finally, after care- ful check-up, another section of the dummy would be ready for the printer. The certainty that a much-pasted handkerchief would be in the wash the next day after having been used as a paste-rag, when no other cloth was handy and captions had to be pasted in immediately, was a 5 PAGE 18
