KRAITH. ASST PRINCIPAL The publications of a yearbook is an exacting and tine-consuming task. It requires the coordination and collaboration of many hard-working people; it demands a precise time- table for the completion of each part, certainty that nothing has been omitted, clarity in each bit of copy for the printer, and, finally, the submission of the entire book to the printer by a definite date. The copy must be complete - exact - neat - and on time. The same qualities needed to put out a successful yearbook were used by a certain college dean who was rather doubtful about accepting credits a student had earned in high school. Finally he said, If you carry Junior Physics, I'll accept those for credit. So the student determined he would make an all-out effort to carry Junior Physics. The Dean taught Junior Physics. He had a remarkable system of grading - 25% for completeness, 25% for exactness, 25% for neatness, 25% for promptness. It seemed a strange marking system, but it worked out better in evaluating a technical subject than the student had dreamed. But the thing that the student seemed to get out of that class was the im- portance of completeness - exactness - neatness - promptness. He passed and the credits were accepted, but the principles he had learned were not forgotten and were of use to him later on in life. As a matter of fact, he became the sales manager of a large corporation, and on the wall behind his desk there hung a framed, hand-lettered sign - These qualities can be of use to everyone in any field of endeavour but more partic- ularly they can help the student in high school and college. It is obvious that when applied to outside assignments and research, they will bring satisfaction and success; when applied to class work, they will bring commendation and respect; if they become habitual, and are applied to the problems of life, they will bring fulfillment and happiness. It is apparent that these principles were practiced in the preparation of this book. It faithfully records the activities of our school over the past year and containing, as it does, the pictures of every class and every student, together with photographs of our Faculty and school administrators, and shots of many athletic and social highlights, will be a treas- ured memento for all of our students and, most especially, for our graduating senior. Our thanks, therefore, go to the Editors of Resume' and to their fine Staff for an ex- cellent book, and more particularly at this time, to Mr. Bernard Allen, the Faculty Advisor of Resume, who has, for so many years, been the guiding hand behind a succession of fine publications.
