Schurman and Gene Smith has made it possible for us to keep Well within our budget tor production of the book. It would be impossible tor a book such as this to be produced for the sale price ot S250 per copy, for in reality one book costs over 33.00. From where does this extra money come? Hdvertising corn- prises the bulk of it, but each class do- nates a sum as does the activity fund. Without these outside sources never could we produce such an annual which can still be listed as the largest high school yearbook in the state. Hardly had the first day ot school passed last fall before work was begun on this 1947 Black and Gold. Contracts were written for and rejected or accepted: the theme was decided upon, and the seventh Fremont High bid lor Hll-Hrneri- can was under a head of steam.

N I D xl-7 JW L Q ANNUAL-IZI G by DICK MASON '47 We are proud to present to you, the students ot Fremont High School, our bid for the seventh consecutive Ftll-Plmerican Black and Gold. Little do those outside the journalism department realize the et- torts and the dreams ot the stall that are wrapped up in these one hundred twenty pages of this, Nebraska's largest high school yearbook. To some our organization ot the book may seem a little confused. We feel that each graduating senior has had a favor- ite activity While in Fremont High and Page 30 In order to produce the larg- est high school annual in the state, by necessity many min- ute details and preliminary plans must first originate with the editor and adviser. Here Miss Strahan and Dick Mason discuss page lay-outs atory to making story ments and arranging schedules. It is their prepar- assign- picture respon- sibility to consider submitted cover designs and to make the final decision. to accept printing bids and to select the best variety ot type available. Interests ot the members of the journalism class are con- sidered before stories are as- signed in order to insure that the best possible treatment may be given each picture. that he should have the privilege ot hav- ing his senior picture placed in the sec- tion of that activity as a constant reminder to those who will see the book in years to come that he was a vital part ot that group. ln general outline, the day in school is considered first, ot course, with the after school, extra-curricular activi- ties, given their place in the after-school day, Since our annual, along with others, is exchanged throughout the state, other schools have admired our senior or- ganization and are incorporating it into their publications, and ot that we are proud. H pat on the back is certainly the order of the day for the business and advertis- ing staffs ot the Black and Gold. Last year a record sale in advertising was estab- lished, 31015, but this year we have done even better, achieving the remarkable total of 51100.

Plssignments were dis- tributed to the staff members, and each one felt that he was contributing to an ultimate aim-completion of the 1947 Black and Gold. For the third consecutive year the con- tract for our covers was given to the Crafto Cover Company in Chicago. The various cover companies will submit sketches in accordance with the theme, and the editor and adviser select what they think to be the most attractive sketch. Finally after the War years with their scarcity of materials and dyes, we were able to obtain for you a cover Witl. the true colors of our school. You can see now that all those vicious rumors you heard about its being purple and orange with pink polka dots were only a fig- ment of the imagination. Flt the conclusion of the spring semes- ter last year applications were for their desired appointments by the prospective staff members. Every detail concerning qualifications was taken into considera- tion before any appointments were made by Miss Strahan and Dick Mason after she had named him to editorship. Ql- though some are on the business statt, every member of both business and edi- torial staffs was required to submit Writ- ing for the book as well as other members of the journalism class.
