Pliaelzer, A, Kner THE RECORD This year 'rhe work of lhe Record has been spread among edilors, sub-edilors, and Ihe workers in lhe differenl deparl- menls. These deparlmenls are Ihe Li'I'er- ary, Layoul, Pholography and Business. The syslem has been working quile well so far and we expecl fhal' by 'Ihe end of 'I'he year, il' will have proved ilself lo be lhe besl melhod of organizalion. The excellenl' cooperalion which lhe edilors have had from lhe slalif is deeply apprecialed. THE PARKER PRINTS The PARKER PRINTS, our Iilerary maga- zine, is a permanenl record of lhe besl cre- afive wriling of all lhe grades in 'rhe school. The slaff is composed of 'len represenla- lives, one member from each of grades 'Ihree lhrough fwelve, in addilion lo lypisls, a proof-reader, and a board who acl as iudges. Therefore lhe Lower School, as well as 'rhe High School, plays an inlegral parl in 'Ihe organizafion and conlenl of 'rhe magazine. The PARKER PRINTS, aller being non- exislenl for several years, was reinslaled in I948. There has been a general lack of inleresl' on 'lhe parl of lhe sludenl' body foward 'rhe magazine. Due +o lhe passive inleresl 'lhere were loo few conlribulions, and 'Ihe publicalion has nol' been able 'lo accura+eIy reflecl lhe crealive abilily of lhe sl'uden'I's. Under Judy Bell, lhis year's able edilor, il' is our sincere hope lhal lhe PARKER PRINTS will be received wilh en- fhusiasm, and increased inleresl lhal' il deserves. Slanding: A. Worlers, J.
