Each page is also care- fully appointed with cartoons, cuts and pictures by the art staff. As there is no journalism class in the regular curriculum, each Aquilian member is a selffmade journalist. Nevertheless, the Aquilian is considered one of the finest high school papers in the East, and has been thrice awarded All Catholic honors by the Catholic School Press Association. Under the present editor, David R. Smith, the paper has undergone a few changes in the current issues. Chief among these is a special emphasis on the alumni, particularly those in service. Often alumni news embraces a full page, including the colum, Gonzaga Grads and Did Y' See, a feature de- voted to those alumni who have visited the school since the former issue. Another recent addition is the vocational guid- ance column, carrying articles by prominent personages on their various professions. Included in this series has been- The Army as a Profession, The Navy as a Profession, The Secular Priesthood, and The Legal Profession. The hours spent with the Aquilian will not be forgotten. The disappointments soon fade, the discouragements vanish, but the remembrance of goals accomplished and vistas at' tained remain, as do the printed sheets that mark four years at Gonzaga.

' if N f ., - M.-.,. ,. ,gg MM... ww fjlze miffelfz mr AQUILIAN The Aauilian is the official organ of the students of Gon- zaga. Yet, in this, its fourth, year of publication, it has become more than a mere journal of events, and is looked upon as a symbol of all things Gonzagan, each issue being anticipated with scarcely less interest than the next due holiday. The Aauilian is published tri-weekly by the students, the working staff consisting of about thirty. ln the offices on the first floor of Kolhman Hall on almost any afternoon of every weekday, the staff may be seen in a seemingly endless tur- moil, writing, editing, prooffreading and making up the forth- coming copy. Here, above the pleas of the editor and the gen- eral jubilation of the staff at each success in the advertising branch, you may hear the clatter of busy typewriter keyboards and the moans of the rewrite men. Here, the cartoonists pon- der, here the humorist tries out his auips and puns for suc- ceeding columns. Here, to the continual amazement of the editor andumoderator, the-Aquilian is published. Each issue is made up of from four to eight pages, the majority, however, carrying six. This includes, in addition to the regular news items and announcements, an editorial page, a sports page, several regular features, such as the humor and sports columns, a book review, a senior personality sketch, Mr. Snee, S.l., and G.

We re- ceived good advice and skilled direction and We had last year's excellent book to guide us, but We nevertheless found ourselves face to face with the complex situation concerning which advice can only forewarn and experience only can solve. Early in September we held our first meeting, chose our staff and decided upon the theme of the book. Then came the trial and error process of draw- ing the scheme of the Whole book, the final draft of which gained acceptance only after many exasper- ating days when possibilities were rejected with paper tearing abandon. The Editor, K. Nygren, seems a little dissatisfied with the efforts of I. Graham, Sports Editor, and B. Gerhardt, Assistant Editor. The easiest part of the ceaseless routine con- sisted in obtaining a competent publisher and secur- ing the services of a studio. But who Will forget the difficulties entailed in gathering together the various groups for the photographer, writing and rewriting copy, meeting the printer's deadline, checking and rechecking galleys. But our steady and dependable co-editors, Nygren and Gerhardt, proved themselves Worthy of the task assigned to them, and in the end met the demands and fulfilled their obligations like veterans of the fourth estate.
