We who are .eniors at Earlham around, but he is a true friend, an absorb- ed biology student, and a home-loving man it would seem. Virginia Raiford, Russell Cloud, and Joe Garoffolo belong in our Senior class, though they are not pictured. Ginny, whose happiness and despair, and gifted tongue make her a dialect actress of tem- perament and ability, is camera-shy. Rus- sell is only to be found on the road be- tween here and Connersville, whence he comes and whither he goes unobtrusively. And Joe, the football man, whose ability the army recognized by deferring him so that he might finish the season, has gone to the service. But While this year lasts we are the Seniors at Earlham. Not for long. Already some of us have had to break off with this year unfinished. There are disasters and surges of effort in the world that overshadow our climax. We are probably the last class that will come out of Earlham as it is, having taken a leisurely four years to graduate. Earlham will follow a new vision of herself and meet time with achievement. And the world's absorbing demand for crusade and striving will strike leisure out of our lives for this time. But while this year lasts it will become to the end our year to experience-and to hold. This book we have made to hold the unfolding experience of this year. The editor brought from Iowa the idea for our monk's cloth and fabrikoid cover. The second color used throughout was discovered on the dust jacket of a recent book. The paper is one hundred pound number one white enamel stock-the headings are Onyx, the body type is Textype. The layouts were inspired from Harpers' Bazaar, Fortune, the Sears Roebuck Catalog, and the thin air. But the labor in- volved was the swift clear grasp of the day and hour and swift moment as we knew them in the moment of their existence. This labor has been accomplished by making ourselves into a somewhat nebulous staff of Sargasso.

We who are Seniors at Earlham Photography is vision for our book-vision become forever in an instant. Leonard Weyl was providing our photography, until the government deprived him of his Leica and the use of our Graflex. Then We had to look beyond ourselves-to Ruthanna Borden, to Leb- by, to Miss Castator, for our photographs. Sue Carr and her Features Staff, Billy Eckey, Tom Klute, and Bill Thistlethwaite, got together with the Editor and almost anyone else who was interested, and talked over the design, the intention of the book, theories of layoutg points of view, the balance of copy and photos. Research Editor McCoy and Winnie Wright, Marilyn Miller, and Bob Rollf, his staff, dug out the raw materials, the data, the items we needed to have at hand. Dottie Reeder, Louis Marstaller, Mary Polk, Lois Fuller, and Ruth Binns, the first being the editor and the rest being the staff of the literary division, took the raw materials and Wrote them into undying phrases that respoke our earthly thunder. Tracy, with Layden, Turner, and Eileen Balfe, did the dirty work of arranging and organizing the mechanical process of the production. And McCracken, who took over Guy Jones' well prepared position as Business Manager, gave us the financial support that enabled us to carry out our schemes, even when they were a little Wild and impractical. Bill Wolf and Wayne Smelser helped Mac. But the Editor's real in- spiration was his secretary, of courseg and his right hand man was his assistant, Wayne Guernsey. Without June he could not have con- ceived nor comprehended, in our sunken, dismal office, the sweep and meaning of the shapeless thing that our book was in the beginning. Without Wayne, he could not have accomplished the tedious and technical com- pilation and dealing that Q'-, -
