This was the cut that proclaim- ed in No. 2 of the 'Ette that Jim Glad- stone was to head the annual's staff. He is shown here standing Cstill groggy from his first realization of what the appointment portendedl gazing wistful- ly at an old Knight. Probably he is searching frantically for inspiration. But that came in time, and with it the plan for one of the neatest Knights yet to roll from the presses. Decidedly different, it sets some pretty high goals for future Knightmen.

HE IGHT CAMPION .IESUIT HIGH Vol. 26, No. I May 22, 1953 SCHOOL BUSINESS In One Hand Child, do not throw this book around, Refrain from the unholy pleasure Of cutting all the pictures out, Regard it as your choicest treasure. -Belloc As the Zephyr rolls away, its passen- gers give a sigh and last glance at the group of buildings to their right. The end is now the historic present. The only thing they, the class of '53, now have in com- mon is their final contribution to their school, The Campion Knight, 'l953. Thus did the lyrical 'Ette writer begin his story on page l of Volume 38, No. 2. Coverman of that issue of the bi-weekly mag was Jim Gladstone, freshly anointed editor of the yearbook. Since No. 2 is the traditional announcement of the publica- tion big-wig, every senior primped in hope of the tap which would make him a staff- mernber, So the elite were tapped and the grind began. Comfortably in one hand the reader holds what was ground. No Joke. From September to April their iobs were many. . ,there was no joke in collecting the little odds, ends, and in- cidentals that must be compiled. This was for The Knight. Poetic thoughts had no place in the staff mind in those days, but as the Zephyr rumbles south, such thoughts force themselves into the fore. Magic. To say that a yearbook is merely a collection of pictures and accounts would be overasimplification of the case. m'M 'f'wafD,,,, S Alti' -U. , 7'-'-Q W, 'f' f . HZ .V 'V i 7- ,. f. 'Y .J -W 1 l V we 4 years in one package choicest treasure This they soon learned. It is much more than that. A yearbook is four years of ir- retrievable memories in one volume. lt is a magic carpet. A yearbook embraces with- in its cover all those things that make school days what they are. To, From, By. The color of the cover, the size, the content, and the dedication- all were problems difficult to solve. 'n these words the 'Ette continued his story. Now that all those insoluble enigmas have been satisfactorily unraveled, the writer may well repeat the almost prophetic words with which he concluded his bit on page 2. But from all this turmoil, from all these complexities, there emerged a goal for ensuing classes, a fitting memorial to, from, and by the class of l953.
