YEAR BOOK STAFF The staff of the l945 Year Book are seniors who have done their best to record the events of their memorable last year in Dixon High School. They wished to com- pile an annual that presented a picture typi- cal of high school life, and they now pre- sent this book as the result, hoping for your approbation. Early in September, Co-Editors Alice Schmidt and Susan Warner selected their staff. At their many meetings the staff prepared a rough draft of the plans for the book. After much discussion they finally agreed on the final layout, Although the weather often interfered, the picture sched- ule was completed. Photography Co-Editors Wayne Frazer and Ray Hood snapped the ever popular candid shots. Bill Wadsworth, Sports Editor, gathered all the Dl-lS sports data. Advertising Editor Dick Brown sold advertising space to Dixon merchants. Marjorie Fitzgerald, Circula- tion Manager, supervised publicity and sold extra yearbooks, while Cirace Walter, Busi- ness Manager, kept a firm hand on the bud- get, Art Editor Frances Bartholomew drew the division pages. June Baker who wrote our timely dedication, was the capable Man- aging Editor. Bob Malach, Manager of Communication, helped any editors in need of assistance. Copy assignments were given to the Edi- torial Staff, the carefully mounted pictures returned from the engravers to be placed in the printer's dummy. Finally, everything was placed together, printed, and the result -your Year Book. The Year Book Staff is indebted to the teachers who proofed, and helped the stu- dents in the final re-writing of articles, They are: the Misses Olga Eneroth, Alice Richardson, Edith Wagner, Marjorie Tully, Charlotte Dethart, and Dorothy Armington, who gave us her invaluable assistance as faculty adviser. We also thank the under- classmen who assisted the Editorial Staff: Louise Cannon, Richard Clausen, Doris l-leckman, Beverly Wullenweber, and Mar- garet Wolbart.
