' fit! f e safwa-f1WWf iii5'iii5'l'f -5.4154-4-Lregeafev-Ar The .ff cadem y JM ontfzl y HIS year the Monthlly surpassed any previous issues by a wide margin. The circulation and advertisements have grown beyond all expectations, due to the untiring efforts of Tom,' Skirm and his business staff. Miller brought the Literary Department up by his hard work and introduced S-i3 lE several changes, which made the magazine more interesting to read. Each issue of the Montlzlj' was better than the one before it, so that the last regular number was one of the finest ever put out by any staff. The whole year's work was a great success and ended with a plus mark in the financial column. The literary department, headed by Editor Miller's excellent editorials, pro- duced many fine stories. For the first time a serial story was introduced and met with huge success. The new Intermediate Department added zest to the mazagine for the younger boys. Although Mr. Roberts and Miller were dubious at times as to where the money's coming from,', Tom Skirm always managed to scrape up the all essential wherewithal, and still come out ahead. Many wondered who drew the covers for the magazine this year. William Robotham, '30, drew most of them and, as we all agree, did an excellent job. Each cover was different, which added spice to the appearance of the fllonthly. The Athletic Department was headed by Thomas Fernley, who wrote up the games in a fashion to be envied by the sports' scribes. The Monthly was fortunate in having three such able writers as Visscher Boyd, William Eberbach and Jack Adam. Each of these put his best efforts into the job, which resulted in the production of many interesting stories. To them we owe the many enjoyable moments of reading, which we gained from the magazine this year. Boyd is also to be complimented on his spicy editorials. The Exchange Department was handled by Charles Morris, who increased the Exchange list by the addition of many new magazines. In this way our magazine was broadcasted throughout the country for others to see and criticise. His comments on others were written with discretion and brought much praise. Howard Snyder was the joke Editor. Although he is no joker, everybody enjoyed the jokes which he offered us, and especially the illustrated ones. The staff realizes with deep appreciation the help given them by Mr. Roberts on the financial end, and by Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Lucas and above all, Dr. Kershaw on the Alumni Notes., A new precedent was started this year on the .Monthly staff, which they hope will continue indefinitely. Each regular member of the staff was rewarded for his work by a small gold key with the seal of the school on it, and the year which he served. This makes for organization, which, it is hoped, will produce bigger and better magazines in the future. 55
