r gig J. ff' Hnrremmegssicintans- am mmzinmilictzanuiiemmfl :mf than nf-axegintmenmi AFTER surviving june Week, the new TRIDENT staff set to work. Many long and furious discussions went on as to what would go where, if and when it was available. At first, a lack of material was the major problem for the staff, but after the members had put in hours of work, the material started coming in. Now the question was whether or not the work measured up to the high standards of the TRIDENT. Dick McCool, as editor, was the man most concerned. Under his guidance the staff settled for the best. Putting the whole thing together was quickly completed. While the literary end of things went its way, Bob Steele was in charge of getting the pictures. A shot here and there of the different events meant hard work, but he got them all and did a fine job. The photography section of every issue is strictly frame-inviting. jim Whetton, charged with the business department, had his own worries. The printers wanted one thing, and the staff another, but jim was the fellow who coordinated the two. His job, one of the most diflicult, never seemed to be too much for him. - The TRIDENT, like our other publications, gave the men who worked on it extra-instruction in planning and organization. Though it may not appear to be a very frightening task, that of starting a publication as nothing more than a vague idea and weaving it into something with form and appeal takes a variety of abili- ties that can have their applications in any field. Bills, statements, cmd dollar signs lzmmt the dreams of B'1l.S'1i7ZL'SS' Manager Wlzeiton and his associates.

All in all, for jokes, light reading, and straight dope on events at the Academy, the LOG was unbeatable. But the LOG labored under difliculties that are ordi- narily unknown to most college magazines. There is absolutely no time in the daily routine that is not occu- pied. The men who make our LOG took the time in bits from their studies and shorted other activities for the benelit of the magazine. There werenit very many men who could make the exchange or could feel the lure of printers ink above the other urges. And then they catered to a very specialized audience, the Regiment. This reader demanded technical information, and he had developed tastes which were at variance with the rest of the country in many respects. It was a tough problem to please such a reader as well as the others who would read the LOG. just where to draw the divid- ing line in readers was a problem that presented itself with every new joke and every new story. A The Log bas its columnists too.

Lecl by Kalina aml his cartoons, the Trident Calendar Stay: turned out a class A calendar. Tllfident Calendar THE STANDARD fixture on every desk, a TRIDENT CALENDAR, was the particular worry of this year of Editor jack Kalina. The work of the drawing-Cartooning triumvirate of Kalina, Shafer, and Schultz went to press under the monetary supervision of Fuselier and his business staff . Over Hfty cartoons had to be selected and an appropriate quotation chosen for each week of the year. We must express a quiet admiration for the men who could see something fit to print about the third weekhof March. Reef Points THE Jon of the staff of the 1944 REEF POINTS was larger this year than ever before. Each year, as the Naval Academy and the Naval Service grow older, there are more traditions and history that the Hedgling plebe must know. Deciding just what a plebe should learn about the Navy during his first year is a job in itself- compiling this pertinent information makes it a king size task. But when this year's finished Plebe Bible went to the presses it contained everything-and more. The finished article is a meaty, concise history of the Naval Academy, its stately halls and historic monu- ments, athletics and recreational facilities, plus a lot of good solid facts and figures about the Navy that might escape a fourth classman's notice-All this was bound up in a neat leather covering and proudly presented to each entering member of the class of '47-his guiding light for the year to come, the 1944 REEF POINTS. DECEMBER,194f4' ' 1 i ' -..1 ,- NDAY DAY DNE-SDAY s DAY IDAY To assure the class of '48 a successful plebe year, Editor O'Brien and lhe Reef Points Strip' 'worked long and hard. ' i
