Bloomington High School - Gothic Yearbook (Bloomington, IN)

I WW The policy of the staff concentrated around the idea that the student body desired a book containing more pictures and less printed matter. Therefore, we have endeavored to present every day scenes and candid catches in the lives of Bloomington students, their activities and athletics, pictorially rather than in writing. Many books are built around a definite theme or contrasting plan. Believing that simplicity is a virtue, the staff sacrificed a continuous idea to gain that end. - However, we did strive for balance and continuity throughout and hope you find the results definitely satisfactory. The time and effort expended are small' compared to the fun and experiences gained in putting out this Gothic, Constantly reaching for a better book, we have introduced a few new features. They include: individual pictures of every one from the faculty through the seniors to and including the junior highg a new section entitled Honoraries for coveted activitiesg and more snap shot panels than ever before. The year l94l was an unequaled one. We hope you find the l94l Gothic likewise.
