Sponsors' uniforms, in the event of taking forever and a day in arriving finally did so, which en lightened Grady Dyer to the extent he completely forgot to have their pictures taken. Margee Mcfflenahan chased senior boys ........ and girls all over school, so as to make picture appoint' ments for one and all. Some were rather elusive, as if they didn't want their mugs in our book, Advertising was the most fun. This is just a fancy word for disrupting half the respectable businesses in town. Everyone did his best at high pressuring except the editor who was too dignified.

He has odd shaped feet, explaining where the marks on the ceilings around school came from earlier this year. Margie Baird had the envied C?j job of putting on the Beauty Contest for Hoofbeats Club. Our very own double exposure brigade, often under the influence of K1-2A Tri'X, were constant enemies of many impatient students who thoroughly disliked picture retakes necessary as they were. Came near the last deadline, the camera shutter went on the blinkg they wouldnt shutter, so instant pictures were conjured up with the help of Big Deal's Polaroid, which saved his sports section too.

Sounds serious doesnt it' Only if you were on the staff, would you realize what a hilarious riot it was. Though many thought not, they can now look back and instead of smiling gently, mechanically laugh and go stark, raving mad. Everyone knows that an annual is an expensive operation and that it's that much harder starting from scratch. We were informed after joyfully becoming the staff, that we were fifty dollars in the hole without even starting. Is a yearbook hard work? This was a hard question to answer until the middle of the term when we wore out one sponsor and started in on another. Miss Nancy Miller held on as long as possible, then was carted off. Mrs. Sophie janet then had a heroines mind and now doesnt have any at all. Business ran smoothly until Elizabethy discovered we didn't have a typist. She becam: Copy Editor ..., Ooooh!

S. but merely indications that Stam- pede editors were squeezing the last ounce of ener- gy from weary staff reporters. The inexperienced staff worked hard this year and put out 11 issues filled with news and views. The first semester but one typewriter could be found. More wails and scraping. Second semester two an- tiques were donated. To no avail. Then the business department showed the staff what a typewriter real- ly looked like and even loaned them two. Things went more smoothly until the Hoofbeats staff learned what deadline meant. It was quite a corral, full of hoofing and stampeding kids. The newspaper staff made a good beginning and set the foundation for Stampede staffs to come, Here's wish ing them lutk, and at the same time, herels handing out medals to the now retired staff. Incidenrally, you may see these members during visiting hours at the Asylum for Mentally Retarded Stampede Wforkers. just looking! Someone said they were delivered this noon.
