Page75 THE NINEYTEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO Editing a Year Book Getting out a yearbook is no picnic. If you print jokes, people say you are sillyg If you don't, they say you are serious, If you copy things from other annuals, You are too lazy tp write them yourself: If you stick close to the job all day, You ought to be out hunting up material, If you go out and try to hustle, You ought to be on the job in the oflice. If you don't print all contributions, You don't appreciate true genius: And if you print them, The Annual is filled with junk. If you make a change in the other fellow's make-up, You are too critical: If you don't, you are asleep. Now, like as not, some fellow will say We swiped this from some other yearbook- Well, criticising, critical critics-we did!
