Under the capable guidance of Miss Bubier for the first semester and Mrs. John- son for the second semester, we pro- duced numerous copies of excellent material submitted by the students of the school. That nosey old Man-About-Town was back again in the personages of Janette Cole and the smiling Bernie Wentworth. The Joke Editors, Bernie Went- worth and Eleanor Stanley, kept the Editor in Chief Assistant Editor Business Manager Literary Editors Art Editors Social Editors Personality Editors Alumni Editors kids in stitches, while the Art Edi- tors drew up magnificient covers and attractive decorations. I wish to express my thanks to my very capable Assistant, Darrold Mit- chell, and to Business Manager, Philip Steele. I also wish to thank the other members of the staff for their helpful assistance and cooper- ation. Also many thanks to Mrs. Johnson for her splendid guidance. Following are the members of the Staff.
