Joe Schiflms studio was busy all Fall taking pictures of the Iirst class. Nine hundred biographies had to be checked to see that they were poignant enough to characterize the men and do more than flatter them. jim Strand and his staff began their continuous task of covering sports events and getting action pictures. Our local sport writers had their chance to make a permanent record of an outstanding football team. The sports writers were faced with the perennial problem of writing up the spring sports in time to make the final deadline. And, the deadline came before the opening of the season for several sports. We made a record of our class history. . . the meta- morphosis of a midshipman.

The Class of 1945 selected Thomas W. Johnston to see that its history was recorded and Robert A. Eidson to see that we could afford to record it. Johnston picked a handful of men, and together they decided what they wanted in our Lucky Bag, and how it should be organized to include as much of the color of the Naval Academy as possible. We were to graduate during the Academy,s one hundredth year, and the editors had a fine theme about which to build a year book. General ideas are easy enough to seize upon, but the details of an original and Htting composition, and the expression of those ideas takes work. All the available material was collected and laid out, it was then divided and assembled again in more detail before the actual work of recording began. But this was only a part of the necessary groundwork. Representatives from jahn and Ollier worked over our layouts with us, advising the staff on the possibility of putting our ideas into printable form. The advertising staff began a series .of correspondence and meetings with prospective endorsers. The business department made contracts with our printers, The Leo Hart Co., and, in con- junction with the advertising staff, commenced the task of balancing profits and losses. Commander Weiiner and Lieutenant Commander Oseth were on hand to help us and advise us in getting our Lucky Bag to a point where it could stand on its own feet. There was enough form to our annual now that we could give it to the section editors to begin the more detailed work. Editors of the LUCKY BAG, the nucleus from which the yearbook grew. -i.

a fiancee. It was a story that had unfolded itself quickly, so quickly that we weren't quite certain of all the steps and processes it had included. We were already first class and the time would soon come when it was all over. Maybe we had missed much of it. During the time the various sections of the Lucky Bag were taking form, the business stalfwas coordinating the demands of the authors with those of our engravers, printers, professional photog- raphers, and supply companies. Unforeseen difficulties and problems had to be faced, and the business staff became guardian of each problem child. Ace Lewis inter- viewed the Academic Department and had pictures taken of the instructors for our academic section. We grouped all the clubs and organizations in the extra- curricular section-everything from the Chess Club to the Sail- ing Club. Bill Polhemus arranged them all in such order as there was and recorded the part each played in Annapolis routine. This being the Academy's centennial, we indulged in a history section. With a hundred years behind us, we had history on a grand scale. The Battalzou Rejzreseutatz ues had rz Ing job supervising the Biogmphy Sectiorz. Bush and his Advertising Staj' brought us out on the right side of the ledger. Business Manager Eidsoufound that money mrziiers meant headaches. The Business Staj worried about budgets and contracts.
