The 1955 Mesan Staff, under the direction of Mr. Melcher, has tried to produce the most representative expression of the yei1r's activities as was possible. This year saw the biggest Mesan, in relation to size and to staff, that has ever been published. The book was done by the Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas, Texas, which we con- tracted in September to print the book of one hundred and four pages. It stands as such. The Editorial Staff was headed by Cheever Tyler as editor. Marc de Tristan as advertising manager, solicited a record amount of advertising which was instrumental in the production and increased size of the book. George Ellis deserves credit as sports editor and did an outstanding job in that department especially with regard to layout and page design. 'The central staff also included Ed Gregson as Social Editor with Frank Hodsoll, Doug Moseley and john Ramsey-Hill as assistant editors. M Mp R. The cover design was created by Mrs. Hartzall who deserves credit and thanks for her contribution. The style of the cover was decided upon by the senior class as a whole as was the general theme of the book. With regard to finance, the book was given a maximum donation whichiwas due to the generosity fs---wr of friends and alumni. It is greatly due to their efforts that the production of this book is possible. In conclusion the book has been a successful close to a successful year both in its dedication and con- tent. It is left as a lasting record for the school and for the class that published it.

This year, as in the past, the school dormitories have been managed by the Senior Class under the supervision of the various resident faculty members. The general tone of the monitor supervision has been on a more liberal plane this year as in comparison with that of last year. The emphasis has been on less actual supervision and more freedom among the members of the dormitory. This was evidenced in the fact that the juniors were allowed to enjoy their intra-season cigarettes in the Elston Room, and that more privileges were accorded the lower classes with regard to the general atmosphere of the dormitory system. This year in the Long House, Bill Haines and Cheever Tyler were in charge. Doug Moseley and Doug Brown were in the High House East while Bob Fairchild took charge of the High House West. Bill Cooper was under Mr. Crawford in the Parsonage and Dave Hood and Dave Spencer had the Lido under their supervision. The School House was conducted by George Ellis, Marc cle Tristan and Peter Rohrs. This year found the Juniors in both the Long House and Parsonage. The Sophomores were housed in the High Houses and the Ninth Grade roomed together in the School House Dormitory. As usual, of course, the jimmies lived in the Lido.

TYLER Editor . . In inscribing the Mesan we would like to thank those who made its publication possible. This not only includes students but faculty and sponsors alike. We feel that through their effort and generosity this book has been a successful climax to the school year. The book is new as was the staff. It is to their credit that this book is as impressive as it is representative. We consider ourselves fortunate to have been a part of its growth. We would especially like to thank Mr. Melcher as it was his contribution that was felt the most heavily. We sincerely hope that this book provides as much for the reader as it has for the staff, if so, you will certainly enjoy it-The Editor.
