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.

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.

Usually four pages, the El Batidor this year has expanded some of its issues to six and eight pages, along with a Sports Program in the Fall. The business end of the El Batidor has been headed by Pete Rohrs, who has laid a very important foundation in the advertising field for next year's publication. Helping also with the business side of the paper were Dave Spencer and Bob Fairchild, the Circulation Manager. ln the Sports Department, Douglas Brown as Sports Editor, headed the department, publishing a program for the Visitor's Day football game. Throughout the year he was assisted by Dave Young and Bob Myers. This year the paper received a place in the Columbia Interscholastic Press Contest. The Editorial Staff was headed by Editor-in-Chief Frank Hodsoll, ably assisted by Associate Editors john Arens and George Ellis. Mr. William B. D'Alton, Faculty Advisor, was of great help throughout the year, and Mr. Scott Martin, Alumni Secretary, efficiently tabulated the graduate news. Taking all the facts into consideration, this year's El Batidor was a highly successful one.
