LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sirs: Upon learning of your intention to fashion your year book to Life Magazine, my enthusiosm for your book whelmed up within me. I have long been looking for a year book in which the pictures were not the formal look at the birdie type. In previous yeors the annuals published invariably pictures which did not represent true school life at all, for they were all posed shots. I am glad to see that one of my pet ideas concerning a year book has been actually applied. After all, just what is the purpose of a year book? Isn't it supposed to be a permanent record of the actual life of the students? Why then should all these shots of students be posed so stiffly? If you are going to depict student life, you must show pictures of actual student life. I, of course, make exceptions to the Senior pictures. This being their last year ond since their pictures grace the honored position of the book, it is proper that formal pictures should be taken. Heretofore the faculty section has never met with my approval, however, your idea of taking shots of the teachers as they really are in or out of classrooms is, in my opinion, very excellent. That's the way we see them every day, and that's the way we prefer to remember them. I hope that your book meets with great success. It has with me. Very truly. JIM SHEA. £ Thank you, Mr. Shea. We are glad that our version of a yearbook meets with your approval. We have endeovored in every way to keep informality as the theme of our book. It is difficult, however, to picture the club section in such a manner for there are many clubs in our school with large memberships. To include every member and to catch him working or enjoying the privileges of that particular club is very difficult. We offer the club section for your approval. The staff has resurrected a club picture of a few years back to show you exactly the type of picture we wish to avoid.—ED. Sirs: I have been very much concerned about the covers of our annuals. In past years, I have been very proud of the covers of our annuals for they have been both artistic and appropriate. I am a bit skeptical, however, of the sort of cover which would adorn your book if you are to keep it similar to the weekly picture magazine Life. I wonder if you can obtain a cover containing a picture similar to the front used by Life. In my estimation, a cover can make or break an annual. The cover helps to set the atmosphere and the mood. A year ago the theme of the book and cover pictured towering skyscrapers reminding us of our newly constructed building. I await with curiosity the publication of your book. Sincerely yours, BOBBY ESPENSCHIED. STEEL COMPANY l)ov€ r.

We have obtained a cover which employs the same technique as that used by Life and also a Dover High School photo. Youre right, the cover can help make or break the annual. We hope it helps to make ours. We think it will. ED. 1
