GEORGE SPRINGER DOM ENICK ANTINUCCI Junior Editors UZELLE deROCHA ALFRED LARUE Sophomore Editors ESTHER PERKINS SALLY CHURCH ] Editorial FACTS AND FIGURES A year ago the Green and White failed to make its annual appearance. The expected question was not long in presenting itself. Why, just why was the Green and White among the missing? This article is designated to explain the question. Briefly, the answer may be laid to that all-important factor, finances. True, the annual has appeared year after year, but that alone is no reason to warrant a perpetual output. Actual facts and figures will show that. The production of the book incurred many expenses, including the printing, the individual Senior cuts and group pictures, cartoons, title cuts and postage. All of these amounted in the aggregate to approximately $400. Now. for our returns, we get 400 copies, 100 of which go to advertisers and exchanges. That leaves us 300, which, being sold at 50 cents apiece bring in $150. Oh. yes, we do have an advertiser’s section, which in a banner year will bring in $250. Adding c.ur two and only incomes we find— Income ..........$-100 Output $400 Not too much profit! These figures have been compiled with every benefit of the doubt given to the income and the expense lowered to the minimum. Last year was one of the hardest, prices rose and our probable income we saw was destined to drop. Class meetings as well as faculty meetings returned the identical verdict— Due to financial difficulties, we find it wise to discontinue the Green and White. But this year we are back! Bigger and better in every way we are back 1 A larger book, more pictures, variety, everything for a successful book to be presented to an expectant public. Now may I take this opportunity to thank our advertisers for their help, and to the members of our staff, and to our faculty adviser, Miss Sadie Callan. may I. on behalf of the student body extend our heartiest thanks for your untiring efforts to revive our school paper.
