BEAUTIES In determining the Coe beauties to be featured in the l938 ACORN, a ballot of 36 names was first sub- mitted to the student body for voting. From the results of the poll, pictures 'of the l2 highest ranking beauties were used in a large layout portfolio which was sent to Kay Kyser, the popular orchestra leader, for his judg- rnent. He selected five of this number, arranging them in the order of his choice. lt has been customary, however, to disclose only the first place Winner, and Kay Kyser named Betty lane Levsen for that honor. Thus the l938 ACORN has given you Kay Kyser's choice of Coe beauties. We have endeav- ored to give you a brief character sketch of each.

PUBLICATIONS MEN'S ATHLETICS WOMEN'S ATHLETICS OTHER ACTIVITIES MUSIC The college music activities range from such small groups as vocal quartets to larger organizations of over seventy-five. Professor Paul S. Ray conducts the a cappella choir which sings in the regular vesper services each Sunday. Miss Alma Turechek has charge of the vesper choir, a large group which appears with the a cappella choir several times and with the chorus which sings in the opera each spring. Each year the rnen's band em- barks on a spring tour covering various parts oi the Middlewest. Stanley Vesely, band director, has also organized a new music group 1 I PAUL S. RAY Head oi Department of Music and Professor oi Voice this year which he calls the women's semi-classical orchestra. This group has appeared at several high school convocations in Iowa and eastern Illinois. Other music groups which take a prominent part in campus activities include the madrigal group, the string quartet, the Women's quartet, the brass choir, the flute quartet, the college orchestra, and the choral octet. lunior and senior music students are ieatured in organ, piano, vocal, and instrumental recitals during the year. Page 146 THE MAIDIQIQEAL GIQUUD An innovation this year among the musical activities of the col- lege was the introduction of a group of six singers known as the madrigal group. For many years the rnusic department has been trying to institute such a group but due to lack of proper person- nel they have never before been successful. This year afforded an excellent opportunity to formulate the group because of the presence of the needed singers. The organization is under the direction of Professor Paul S. Ray. It specializes in madrigal music, which is a cappella music of the Elizabethan period. Members of the group the past year have included: Betty lane Levsen and Irene Bishop, so- pranos, Gertrude Shoemaker, al- to, Edward Melcher, tenor, Robert Carmichael and William Carran, basses. The madrigal group has ap- peared in' concerts at Clinton, Iowa, and Morrison, Illinois, this year and has planned an exten- sive trip into northeastern Iowa be- fore Commencement. Edward Melcher, Betty Iane Levsen, Irene Bishop, Gertrude Shoemaker, William Carran, Robert Carmichael Page 147 THE A CADDELLA CHDIIQ The a cappella choir, under the direction of Professor Paul S. Ray, is composed of about forty selec- ted voices. Members are usually upperclassmen who have been members of the vesper choir. This choir appears regularly at Vesper services and at Com- mencement exercises. The a cap- pella choir has appeared before the Cedar Rapids Rotary club and has sung at chapel programs. The a cappella choir combines with the Vesper choir each year to present at Christmas time Han- del's Messiah which attracts hundreds of Cedar Rapids music lovers. The technical, historical, and theoretical approach is empha- sized in the study of the Various schools of musical literature. The a cappella choir is one of the college choral organizations which frequently makes concert tours. Miss Eleanor Taylor is organist tor this group.

Beta Kappa chapter was installed on the Coe campus in 1930, largely through the efforts of Paul Schumann Ray, head of the department of music. Members are selected by the local chapter on the basis of high moral character, interest in the cause of music, and activity in musical organizations. The pur- pose of the organization is to ad- vance the cause of music in America and to promote the mu- tual welfare and fellowship of music students and teachers. The organization a n n u a l 1 y sponsors an lnterfraternity singing contest and presents a concert featuring the Works of American composers. This year the chapter gave a party for all students of music in the college to add to the social program of the department of music. This year the chapter was for- tunate in that it was designated to be the host chapter to entertain the North Central province con- vention which includes all the chapters in lowa, Minn., Nebr., and Mo. Over one hundred mid- west musicians were thereby brought to the Coe campus this spring. R. Ariel Cross has served as president and supreme council- man tor the past two years and represented the Coe chapter at the national conventions held in Chicago. Other officers were Chester Petranek, vice-president: Aureal Cross, secretary: Robert B r i t t e 1 l , corresponding sec'y: Frank Flack, treas.7 Donald Davis, historian: William Stonebreaker, warden: and Maurice Estes, chair- man of activities.

F or the 1937 production, Professor Paul S. Ray, head of the department of music, chose the Verdi opera, Il Trovatore, and brought to the cam- pus several outstanding artists. Prominent among them were Richard Bonelli, who starred in the role of the count, Iohn Pane-Gasser, widely known tenor who sang the role of the troubadour, and Sonia Sharnova, cast as Azucena, the QYI-Dsy. College singers were given some of the minor roles, and the college orchestra and choirs assisted in the production. The chorus was directed by Professor Paul S. Ray, While Pro- fessor Ioseph Kitchen conducted the orchestra. A group of Women from the physi- cal education department were selected to appear in the ballet. A chorus of local singers assisted in last year's production. DDEIQA Page 152 IQ. 0. T. C MAIOR ARTHUR W. PENROSE, Infantry Professor of Military Science and Tactics MAIOR DeWITT C.

The present R. O. T. C. unit is under the direction of Major Arthur W. Penrose, profes- sor of Military Science and Tactics. Major Penrose is assisted by Major DeWitt C. Smith, assistant professor of Military Science and Tactics, Staff Sergeant Francis D. Pugh, Ser- geant Roy Lewis, all of the United States Army, and lohn Nicoll, 2nd Lieutenant, Infantry Reserve. The unit has received the rating of excellent in the annual govern- ment inspection for four consecutive years. This is the highest possible rating and is based upon efficiency in administration and upon theoreti- cal and practical training of the corps. The basic course is required of all freshmen and sophomores. The ad- vance course which is strictly elec- tive is for the purpose of training men as officers to receive commis- sions in the Reserve Officers. Besides holding numerous inspec- tions, parades, and reviews of its own, the unit cooperates with civic authorities in the observance of Armistice Day and Memorial Day.

The Coe College military band, a unit of approximately sixty pieces, is known as one of the nations out- standing musical organizations. The band has achieved an enviable record under the direction of Stanley Vesely. The fifth annual spring tour of the band, taken in April of this year, included an eight day tour through eastern Iowa and north-central Illi- nois. A Palm Sunday concert in Orches- tra Hall, Chicago, under the auspices of the Sunday Evening Club was the principal event of this year's tour. This concert was a return engagement, the band having ap- peared there both in 1935 and 1937. The concert tour this year featured two soloists, Max Daehler, professor of piano, and Leo Courternanche, trombonist. Both were accompanied by the band. In addition to a busy concert career the band regularly furnishes music for the reviews and parades of the R. O. T. C. corps. Mr. Vesely is assisted by Staff Sergeant Francis D. Pugh, business manager: Chester Petranek, assist- ant conductor: and Verne E. Pate, student manager.

The Military Ball is the most prominent event on the social calendar. Military atmos- phere is usually created by stacked rifles in the corners of the room, mounted machine and light artillery guns on the stage, and silhouettes representing the insignia of the dif- ferent branches of the service. Following a demonstration by the crack drill squad, Scabbard and Blade held formal pledging of their newly pledged members. The feature of the dance Was the presen- tation of Misses Vivian Rochau, leanette Focht, Audrey Abell, and Mildred Hanson as Company spon- sors. Climaxing the features of the dance was the presentation of Miss Annie Laura Davidson as Honorary Cadet Colonel of the Coe Battalion. Music for this year's ball was fur- nished by Iimmy Barnett and his orchestra. MILITAIQY BALL Page 160 DUIBLICATIQNS l' xQxx,xM-Y, www-W ll - '.2-.uw ., A. .,i manila .,.

Originally the Cosmos was a monthly magazine, but was changed to a semi-monthly pub- lication in 1903. The newspaper form of seven columns was adopted in 1912 and was used until the present five-column size was established in 1983. The Cosmos is published en- tirely by students and is tree of strict college regulation. The Cos- mos board of control, composed of three appointed faculty mem- bers and four elected students, elects the editor and business manager who are responsible to that board. A member oi the National Scholastic Press Association, the Cosmos for the past several years has earned a first class rating in the All-American Critical Service, a contest conducted by the asso- ciation. This ranking is next to the top rating of All-American and includes only 50 out of a total ot 350 college weeklies. The Cosmos also holds member- ship in the Iowa College Press Association and last year won the front page make-up prize for tive- column papers in that organiza- tion's contest.

This board elects the editor and business manager of the ACORN and approves all staff appoint- ments. Meetings are held monthly in the ACORN office and are pre- sided over by Professor Iohn M. Page 167 Henry, chairman of the board. The editor and business manager report at these meetings on the general progress of the publica- tion. The faculty members, appointed by the administration are Profes- sor Iohn M. Henry, Dr. Ben H. Peterson, and Vernon Lichten- stein. Two sophomores are elected each spring to serve dur- ing their iunior and senior years. Those Who served on the board this year Were Ieanette Focht and George Oldag, senior members, and lane Furmeister and Robert Norris, junior members.

Outland, professor of English and jour- nalism. The sorority attempts to foster and maintain interest in jour- nalism, always seeking to uphold the highest practices and ideals of the profession. To encourage journalistic attainment Pi Alpha Theta awards an annual prize to the student who is chosen as the outstanding reporter during the tryout period for positions on the reportorial staff of the Cosmos. In support of journalistic enter- prises on the campus, members of Pi Alpha Theta participate in the Weekly publication of the Cosmos. Included in the requirements for membership in the sorority are scholastic ability, at least one course in journalism, three semes- ters' Work on the college paper or its equivalent, and junior or senior classification. Although inactive on the cam- pus since l934, Pi Alpha Theta was reorganized in 1936 and now counts eight Women among its actives and 74 Women among its alumnae. Officers of Pi Alpha Theta are Betty White, president: Nadine Subotnik, vice-presidentp Abigail Ann Gilbert, secretary, and Iva Stevens, treasurer. Other active members include Professor Ethel R.

Opening the season on Sept. 25, they lost to Carleton by one touchdown, 13 to 6. A month later Coe would probably have beaten Carleton. Central, the Ko- hawks' next opponent, did not provide them with much competition. Using a lineup of regulars and reserves, Coe Won as it pleased, 20 to 6. On Oct. 9, Monmouth tied the Kohawks, 6 to 6. A week later Coe lost to Cornell, 7 to 6, when Franklin Cole caught a pass in the end zone for the Purple, then kicked the extra point. This game, Coe's Homecoming, was the only one all season in which Cor- nell was scored upon. Coe played Iowa State Teachers to a 6 to 6 tie, Oct. 23, and the following weekend de- feated Beloit easily, 27 to 7, with Cisler scor- ing three touchdowns. This victory inspired the Kohawks. Their forward passing com- bination of Cisler to Bazos brought them a 13 to U victory over Knox. Then with Bruno Gudatis coming into his own as a ball car- rier, they turned back Grinnell for the fifth time in as many years, 7 to O. The Kohawks played Drake's powerful team, Nov. 20, and submitted to a 31 to 2 defeat. While this was a decisive defeat, the team played well. With the addition of several promising freshmen, prospects seem rather good for the 1938 team.

Page 176 smisbe Despite the presence of four letter winners on the squad, Coe could win only three basketball games during the l937-38 season, all of them, however, against Midwest' conference opponents. Coe finished the conference campaign in sixth place, winning three and losing seven. Outside the league they suffered six defeats. Paradoxical as it may seem, the Kohawks had a better basket- ball team than their record indicates. Opening the season, Coe received a series of bad breaks. Nothing that they tried would work well. They lost their first eight starts, two of them in over- time periods, and on top of these setbacks, Bob McKinley, veteran forward, injured an ankle, lan. 8, missed a number of games, and never fully recovered his old speed. From one standpoint, the season was an unqualified success. The Kohawks scored two spectacular victories over their tradi- tional rival, Cornell, defeating the Purple, 35 to 20, on Ian. 29, and 37 to 35 on March l. The first of these victories, in addition to ending an eight-game losing streak, released a group of stu- dents known as the Bearded Wonders from a self-imposed vow to discontinue shaving. The second came when Bob McKinley, playing his last game for Coe, scored the winning field goal with 15 seconds to play. lt enabled the Kohawks to wind up their season successfully. i Of the team's thirteen defeats, only two were by decisive mar- gins. Two free throws by LeRoy McLeod gave Coe a 29 to 28 victory over Ripon, Feb. 4, in the last half-minute of play for its only other victory. Members of the squad elected Chris Bazos and Bob McKinley honorary co-captains. Nine players-Bazos, McKinley, LeRoy McLeod, Edward Cisler, Bruno G-udatis, Donald Martin, Richard Pollack, Harry Mehlan, and Iohn Prasch-won letters. Cisler, Martin, Mehlan, and Prasch are sophomores. Lacking a high-powered scorer, the Kohawks depended for the rnost part upon balanced distribution of attack. Gudatis led the team in scoring with 82 points, followed by Bazos with 70, Mehlan with 68, McKinley with 67, and McLeod with 60.

The first meet on the schedule was the indoor affair at North Central College, Naperville, Illi- nois. The competition was strong and the team accounted for five points. As a warm up for the Drake classic, coach Rittgers entered a squad in the Iowa State Teachers Relays. ln this meet the mile team was outclassed, but the short relay teams found the going to their liking and Walked off with the cups in both the quarter- mile and half-mile races. Gene Carson also won the broad jump. At Drake the following Week the mile quartet of Carson, Gordon Zimmerman, Robert McKinley, and Lowell Wedgbury were back in form and ran one of the pret- tiest races of thevday, only to lose to Whittier college of California by a stride. May found the team split up for the annual home meet and soror- ity relays. The juniors upset the dope to nose out the seniors for first place by a score of 45 to 4lV2, followed by the freshmen with 37 points and the sopho- mores with ZQW. Paced by Cap tain McKinley, the Alpha Gamma Delta team won the relay cup. The Coe-Cornell-State Teachers triangular meet held at Cedar Rapids on May 8th Wound up in a 74-74 tie between Coe and State Teachers with Cornell running a poor third. Page 178 SEASDN As usual the climax of the season was the Midwest confer- ence meet held at Carleton, on May l5th. As defending cham- pions the Kohawks were on the spot, and by three points failed to be the first team to win three titles in a row when Knox came through to win by a score of 46 to 44. In third place behind Coe was Lawerence college with 34 points. ln a conference Tele- graphic meet the Freshman team placed third with 21W points. For the eleventh straight time Coe defeated Cornell in their an- nual dual meet. This time to the Verne Pate: Robert McKinley leads: tune of 98 to 38, by winning eleven of the fifteen events. The freshmen dropped their dual to the Purple by a score of 67 V2 to GSW. To ring down the curtain for the 1937 season the squad Was entered in the Beloit relays and it was a very fitting finish for a rather mediocre season. The Crimson won the meet with 60 points besides having the honor of setting five meet records. Wesley Stookey and Gene Car- son were voted honorary co- captains by the letter men at the close of the season. Gene Carson, Robert McKinley, Lowell Wedgbury, Wesley Stookeyg Perry Larson J Page 179 E INTIQAMUIQALS The purpose ot intramural ath- letics is to give every man attend- ing Coe College an opportunity for exercise and for the keen com- petition in sports which he would not otherwise obtain. The intra- mural program is supervised by Thomas C. Hayden, director of physical education and freshman football and basketball coach. Coach Hayden is assisted by George Oldag, senior manager, and Paul Dougan and Iohn Swearingen as junior assistants. Judging from the number of men that participate in intramural activities, it can readily be in- terred that intramurals are be- coming an outstanding factor in school activities. A cup is awarded to the team victorious in each sport and a traveling trophy symbolic of the all-intramural title is given to the organization collecting the most points during the year of com- petition. Chi Beta Phi won the trophy last year. Teams competing during the l937-38 season include Alpha Delta Alpha, Chi Beta Phi, Delta Phi Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Non-Greeks, Hermits, and Y-Coe.

The purpose of the organization is to encourage par- ticipation in athletic events and to foster friendship among the ath- letes on the campus. Following the success of last year's policy, the organization has again taken an active part in campus activi- ties. The highlight of the social pro- CAN gram was the annual Clan of C Ball. The Queen of Sports, elected by the vote ot students, was Miss Betty lane Levsen. Her attendants were Billie Hauser, Gertrude llten, Vivian Rochau, Lydia Ann Court- right, Ieanne Wells, Maryella Duncan, and Betty Neuzil. Robert McKinley served as president this year. Christian Ba- zos was chairman of the social committee. UFC Page 182 WOMEN'S ATHLETICS 1 I A in Miss Ruth Zika' Prole ssor Ethel RYUU' MES Evelyn C, Street DH SICAI. EIDUCATIUN FDD UMEN The work of the Women's Physi- cal Education Department is di- rected by Professor Ethel Ryan and Miss Ruth Zika. Miss Evelyn Street assists in the Red Cross Life Saving classes and in Health Education. A council ot students works with the department in managing the women's athletic association, through which all the women's sports are promoted. Archery, hockey and tennis make up the tall physical educa- tion classes. Hockey is perhaps the most popular as each year teams are chosen to represent the freshmen, sophomores, and up- perclasses. At the close of the fall season these teams play for the championship. The -mid-winter sports are in- doors and consist of swimming, basketball, kickball, volleyball, and rifle. There are also the regular physical education classes in folk dancing, creative dancing, clogging, and Danish gymnastics. In the spring, tennis and arch- ery are resumed with baseball and other additional optional sports. A tennis tournament is held in the spring with the Winner receiving the Knoll: Tennis Tro- phy. Last spring Anne Larson re- ceived this award. The annual colonial ball held on Washington's birthday, and the campus fete given each spring are two traditional events spon- sored and directed by the Women's Physical Education de- partment.

The audiences at all performances responded to this comedy with gales of laughter. lda Mae Carlson and Dorothea Dolson as I-lippolyta and Antiope, her sister, gave splendid per- formances. Charles Grunewald's por- trayal oi Sapiens was excellent. ELIZABETH THE QUEEN Elizabeth the Queen Was one of the outstanding dramatic productions of the year. Dorothy Carr did an admirable piece ot Work with her portrayal of the temperamental queen. William McGuire and Robert Bixler as Sir Walter Raleigh and Lord Essex, rivals for the confidence of the queen also did iine pieces of Work. In the character parts, William Kettlitz and Edward Melcher were excellent. As is always true of Mr. Andrews' produc- tions, the costuming and settings of Elizabeth the Queen were most real- istic and beautiful. Credit for this should go, in part, to Mrs. Andrews. Page 192 IDLAYHIDUSE UNDER THE GASLIGHT This play was an epic of the 80 s com- plete with heroines villains and ges- tures. Although there were no vege- tables hurled at the actors the audience indicated its appreciation of the meller- drammer with hisses for the dastardly deeds and caddish speeches and huzzas for the noble actions and expressions oi true sentiment. lunne Haldy made a sweet sacrificing heroine While Virgil Wade and Dorothy Dwelle as the villains chilled the audience. Albert Kitzhaber was outstanding as the noble hero. DOUBLE DOOR The presentation Double Door by the Coe College Players was the sea- son s only rnystery drama. Annie Laura Davidson played the part of Victoria Van Bret. Typically aristocratic in up- holding her class she held a hatred for her sister-in-law Anne who before her marriage to Victoria s brother Rip was a nurse. The plot centered around this hatred.

Dale Welsch. E q u i p rn e n t , including micro- phones, panel board, turntables, and recording apparatus Was in- stalled at the cost of over two thousand dollars. The old library in Main Building was enlarged and made over into two studios and one control room. One of the studios is used for the audition roorn While the actual broadcasts are given from the other. Classes are held each Monday and Wednesday. Only juniors and seniors who have had speech fundamentals are qualified to take the course. Every two Weeks the college sponsors a program, originating on the campus, and going out over the air through the facilities of the Cedar Rapids station, WMT. These programs deal largely with the college and the courses which it offers. Work taken up inthe Coe Radio Shop consists of continuity Writ- ing, engineering, advertising, and theory of radio. Everyone in the Class is required to Write a play and also continuity for a Cedar Rapids merchant to be used for radio advertising over WMT. As the school year of 1937-38 passes, the radio shop has not taken one step forward, but many, and is prepared for the near fu- ture when radio will be an essen- tial factor in many fields. IQADI IDI KAIDIDA DELT Pi Kappa Delta, national debate fraternity, offers to students the opportunity of taking part in various forensic functions, with the purpose of forever keeping alive the interest and importance of good speech. To be eligible for this forensic association, a stu- dent rnust have participated in three or more non-decision inter- collegiate debates, or he must win first, second, or third in inter-col- legiate oratory or externporary contests in which tour or more people are entered. It is from the topics submitted by different chapters that the na- tional debate question for the year is drawn up. For this season it Was, Resolved: that the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration of all industrial disputes. The future of Pi Kappa Delta at Coe College looks very promising this year. The pledge group elig- ible was exceedingly large, indi- cating the active participation of our students in intercollegiate af- fairs.

In Microtechnique students receive instruction in different techniques for preparing biological materials for study. There are also courses in zo- ology, human anatomy and physi- ology, comparative anatomy, gene- tics, ernbryology of vertebrate ani- mals, entomology, and Ornithology, in which the birds of Iowa are studied. Classification of the flowering plants, plant anatomy, and bacteri- ology are offered in the botany de- partment in addition to the courses in general botany and advanced general botany.

DR. KARL A. STILES LUCILLE COON Page 198 LABDIQATUIQIES The courses offered in chemistry are designed to provide training nec- essary for entrance to, the profes- sional schools of medicine and den- tistry, prerequisites for the pursuit of graduate degrees in chemistry, and to offer such students as do not de- sire either of the above, a course in the fundamentals of the science of chemistry. The first course given is general chemistry which emphasizes the ele- mentary theories of inorganic chem- istry. After the completion of this course students may take the course in analytical chemistry which is a semimicro qualitative a n a l y s i s . Psysiological chemistry, the chemis- try of absorption and digestion of the cell is offered particularly to students DR. BEN H. PETERSON preparing for the study of medicine and those majoring in the biological sciences. The primary objective of the physics department is to develop an appreciation of the vast structure of the science of physics and its mani- fold relations to the creation about us. Various courses in material physics, electricity, light, heat, ther- modynamics, and acoustics are of- fered. Lectures, references, and lab- oratory Work comprise the method of approach. Opportunity for individual inves- tigations are afforded the student in the many fields of both chemistry and physics. DR. ALFRED W. MEYER, CLEO BYERS N, N hji Page 199 DRAWING FROM MODEL The art courses aim to make art function in life through an informed appreciation of architecture, sculp- ture, and painting. Individual judg- ment and enjoyment based on know- ledge is encouraged. The studio course develops not only individual proficiency in drawing and painting but also appreciation through par- ticipation in actual creative work. Several courses in drawing are offered emphasizing the technique ot charcoal drawing and plaster cast work, with occasional sketch classes. A course in oil painting is given which stresses the fundamental prin- ciples of composition and color. The course of American architecture, painting, and sculpture is open to all students. A lecture course in art appreciation is given which consists oi a survey oi architecture and sculp- ture trorn the Egyptian period through the Italian Renaissance. This also includes a survey of paint- ing trorn the Renaissance through the contemporary period. Through the generosity of the Class ot 1925, Coe is a member of the American College Society of Print Collectors and annually re- ceives etchings from this organiza- tion.

Scabbard and Blade, better known as Troop No. 33, was founded a few years ago by a group of overgrown Boy Scouts who found a va- cant room in Willeston and decided they wanted their picture in the ACORN. The organization is hurnorously called an honorary military fraternity and its members are sometimes mistaken for soldiers, espe- cially by near-sighted old ladies. They throw two things during the year, the Military Ball and a sufficient amount of paddles on the pledges. The picture of the fraternity substantiates Sherman's state- ment that war is hell.

ADVICE TO LOVELORN Dear Editor: I am in love with two girls on the campus. I don't think either one of them know about me and my love for them. Maybe I study too much and don't you think this school is run very poorly. Yours, George Bowne. My dear Mr. Bowne: My advice to you is to forget the two girls-undoubtedly they know of you but haven't had nerve enough to talk to you. Love them se- cretly and that will be enough for both of you.-After looking up your record-I don't think that you study enough-you're right about the school. As ever, The Editor. Mama: Iohnny, if you eat any more pie you'll burst. lohnny: Well, pass the pie and get out of the way. POPULAR PRICES TOMAN FLOWERS l 320 31-d Ave. S. E.

My dear Miss Carrier: I would like to have a heart to heart talk with you-taloneb.

Whatever success this book may have with you and your friends can best be attributed to others than our- selves. The ACORN staff, listed on page l65, has been instrumental in helping us with the myriad ot details which are encountered in the publication of an annual. We are especially indebted to the following men and the tirms which they represent tor the splendid commercial assistance that they have made available to us. Printinge-Mr. W. W. Mercer of the Economy Advertising Company, Iowa City, Iowa. Engraving-Mr. Skid Battin of Tru-Art Engravers. Photography-Mr. Charles Novotny of Montieur's Studio. Covers--The S. K. Smith Company, Chicago, lllinois. Robert Robbins, editor of the 1939 ACORN, has had much experience in the publication field, and we believe that he will produce an annual next year which will be an outstanding one. Franklin Pierce, business manager ot the l939 ACORN, has also had the desired experience and should prove a very capable man. We do believe that these men will produce a top-notch book, one that you will be proud to have. In closing we would like to thank everyone who had anything to do with the l938 ACORN. It is impossible to mention everyone, but just because your name is not mentioned here please do not think that your work has not been appreciated and please remember that it is the small bits from many that make a book like this possible.
