Memories Staff members assembling for the first time . . . the editor and sponsor frantically tearing their hair over the dummy make-up . . . seniors posing for pictures . . . several weeks later “Do I look that bad? Why that flatters you! . . . Photograph managers wending their ways in and out of classes . . . Snap . . . the candid camera sees all! . . . business managers bent over journals working desperately to make their accounts balance . . . Miss Robinson's home swarming with staff members writing copy and identifying pictures . . . dig- nified members preparing the dinner, the boys washing the dishes . . . familiar phrases such as Do it over. It's not long enough . . . Put in more names” . . . We need more snapshots . . . Long hours of writing and longer hours of rewriting, “I'm awfully busy now. I'll see you in ten minutes.” Will you help me with this lead?” . . . after a few days someone glances at the calender and discovers the deadline! . . . two more days till the deadline! . . . two hectic days . . . “Where are the typists? Calling all typists, proofreaders, and word- counters!” The printer's deadline reached, and safely passed ... all activity ceases. Out of the confusion and industry another Glen-J or Annual has emerged, capturing in its pages treasured memories of the hap- piest moments in the students' life—his high school years.

Background Whenever the pupils of Glen-Nor want to express their affection for their school, they sing the Glen-Nor Hymn. Although they love this song, they take it for granted— and rightly so, for it has been sung since 1923. It is one of the many fine traditions that they owe to the early friends of Glen-Nor. A special debt of gratitude is due the originators of the school song— Mr. John J. Swan, Mr. Floyd Hart, and Dr. De Ette Edgette. One evening that first year in Glen-Nor history, these three far-seeing faculty members met at Mr. Swan's home to discuss the question of a school song. The dignified melody of an old hymn was chosen, and the inspired words were written by Dr. Edgette. In 1924 the Student Senate established the hymn as the official Glen-Nor Alma Mater. Although these teachers have long since left the school, the song has lived on. Because the thought and feeling of both words and music express Glen-Nor ideals, the hymn has grown to be a part of the fabric of school life. 9
