Scarab “When are we going to take the freshmen pictures?” “When are we going to take the Spanish Club pictures? “What is going to be our theme this year? “When is the first payment?” These and a hundred other questions had to be answered during the year as the staff tried to assemble pictures, write copy, and collect money for the 1955 Scarab. After many weeks of taking pictures and writing copy came the proofreading and the checking of accuracy of the pages. This book marks the climax of our work.
