Culver Military Academy - Roll Call Yearbook (Culver, IN)

I I This type, used in a larger face this year, is one of the best, both in the matter of readability and appearance. In the matter of layout, the staff has used an innovation which, altliough it may pass unnoticed by the layman, has a startling effect. Most books are made to “balance” on each page, whereas the Roll Call “balances” across the double-page spread. This change produces the feeling that the eye sweeps across the book. The cover of the 1927 Roll Call follows the trend of many school annuals away from the conventional center design. No printing appears on the front, on which is reproduced with one change the border design of the First Class page. The cover is the finest made by the Molloy Company of Chicago. In accordance with the vote of the Class of ’27, the spring athletics of 1927 have been included. This proved to be a difficult and expensive task, but the editorial staff has done,its best under these handicaps. It is hoped that this fact may be considered when the inevitable omissions and mistakes come to light. Since the first crew race came approximately one month after the book was scheduled to go to press, the members of the squad voted to use last year’s individuals and include this year’s crew on a sepa¬ rate page. The editor wishes to take this opportunity of thanking those who have worked with him in producing this year’s Roll Call. Although smaller than the staff of previous years, they have done the work well and faithfully. Mr. Hitch, faculty adviser, has proven ideal in that he has supervised the work sufficiently to keep the staff from making any bad mistakes, and yet has given them free enough rein to allow the produc¬ tion of a true “student publication.” If credit is due for the 1927 Roll Call, it is due to these men. Whatever their rewards may be, they deserve them. The Editor. Company Representatives. S.
