This is quite a goal, because the '41 annual re- ceived the All-American honor rating or the highest National Scholastic Press As- sociation award. 14' IN THE PICTURES fon this pagej 1 The smile before the storm lights the face of Shirley Angle as she prepares to join Ruth Thomas and LaVerna Pendleton in work on the organization section. Pausing from their industrious labors for a moment are Ioan Montgomery and Elizabeth Sewell. High atop a ladder, Charleen Kunc happily points to the top of the Orbit thermometer which registers a new all-time record of 927 yearbooks sold this year. Mary Lee Goddard, Thomasina Dyer and Mary Io Lightfoot took only a moment off to smile for the birdie before returning to some tricky lay- outs for feature pages. fOpposite Pagej: Theresa Enders and Eliza- beth Lees, future and present editor of the Clas- sen Life, ask for more work to do. Charles Landon took pictures and Iimmy Brooks wrote the dedication, Our Faith in Free- dom for All. Miss Zona Moore is mama and main inspira- tion for all the staff members. Iust below is Miss Lottie Conlan, assistant mama. Gimme air, says Mr. Robert Reid, business sponsor, as students mob him just before the deadline'March I3 with dollars for down-pay- ments. Iames Barnett is justdooking, thanks. Antionette Burnham and Carol Klick think that Orbit work is great fun and grin their approval. Five healthy happy staff members line up for more work, and they get it. Last, but one of the first in amount of work done, is Richard Meek, who took most of the pictures in the book. His background of flash bulbs is interesting, but note the ice bag on his head and the aspirin at his side, as well as the expression on his face. Wa... - r.., ,.
