THE ANNUAL STAFF OST students take THE ANNUAL for granted, just as they take a W A now Latin grammar or a Sears Roebuck Catalogue for granted J A 5 Early in the year they are expo ed to two or three deep voiced 1 3 . . ' 9 U . , .. ' ig, College orators who squeeze the last drop of risibility out of the 1 perennial side-splitter about undertakers being the best prospects for ads,-and then like all good students they promptly forget all about the book. Later on, in early March, they put on their Sunday best, glare at a photographer three or four times and think only of the fifteen minutes of trigonoinetry they've skipped. ln early April, after their class representative has heckled them for two or three weeks they reluctantly give up Thursday afternoon to scrape up an add or a few patrons. and think only of the Dodger-- C-iant's game they've missed. lune comes around, they see their names in print, and their handsome countenances engraved for future generations to gaze upon and swoon. They beam with pleasure and their fingers tremble with delight as they turn over the glossy pages, but they think no more of the men of the Staff who made THE ANNUAL possible than they do of the bones in last Friday's flounder. That is why this page is in THE ANNUAL-to give praise where praise is due and acknowledge the hard work ot the Staff mem- bers who have put this book in your hands. First of all there's Frank DeMasi, the Editor-in-chief. Whether you realize it or not, the Mayor had a very diificult time of it wrenching articles out of tardy Writers, correcting faulty punctuation and misspelled words, deleting and rewriting in order to get those evasive six hundred words-the space of a page, and doing a thousand and one other things, any one of which was sufficient to cause any normal human being to bite his fingernails to the bone and earn a vacation in Bellevue, But Franks native good humor and per- sistence carried him through and we can safely say that 1942 has produced one of the best Annual editors yet. Bob Milde and lim Daly, in charge of the financial side of THE ANNUAL certainly deserve the thanks and praise of everyone interested in the welfare of Cathedral College. You can bet that many a night they sat up till the wee hours, keeping the books straight, ferreting out and digging up prospective subscribers, typing letters by the hundreds and worrying about class quotas. Both are unassuming and somewhat shy but everyone on the Staff knows of their work and has a deep respect tor their energy and perseverence. Bob Milde, by the way, also took most of the informal snapshots in this year's ANNUAL, We also extend our sincere appreciation to the other members ot THE ANNUAL Staff, the photographers, artists, various editors, typists and proof readers, to all the class representatives and to all the students who have Worked along with us and have given so generously of their time, to all patrons and advertisers and to all those who have helped in any way to publish our year book. Last, but not least, we Wish to thank our Faculty adviser, Father Denning, for the friendly cooperation and kindly understanding he has shown to all who have been Working with him in the publication oi the 1942 edition of THE ANNUAL.
