THE ROSTRUM 61 seen, I have found but one faultf' nWhat is that?i' 'The Windonianv asked eagerly. Well, your group photos were not as clear as they should have been, but we cannot blame you nor your photograph- er, because those things just couldn't be helped. These group photos were the only things to be criticized, but we shall just let it ridefi The Four Cornersf, all the way from Scarboro, Maine, was next on the Wait- ing list. Mr. Yearbook noticed the effec- tiveness of the black and orange cover with the clear engravings. Upon looking more closely through the book, he no- ticed the compilation of servicemenis pictures, for whom the book had been dedicated. There was a snapshot of each of the alumni who at that time was in the service of our country. This page of pictures entitled 'These Are Worth Fighting For, is something that I have noticed to be original, since nonc of the other schools on my list have such an interesting division. Your 'The Serviceman Speaks, is highly com- plimentaryf, I Have you any suggestions for us, Mr. Yearbook? KT. F. Cf' asked. Only one. I find that a miscellaneous section is lacking and this always adds so much to the popularity of a school's yearbook. VVhy donit you add a section of this sort, containing school gossip, a popularity poll, a comic strip consisting of S. I-I. S. kids, etcf? They are very easy to do, and, as I said, they add immensely to the bookf, Mr. Yearbook next called in aThe Nautilusv from XVest Paris, Maine. As he looked through a copy of the book, he said: MT. N.,, I must congratulate you on the wonderful stenciling of your book. I know from experience that this is not easy to do, and when a few of your students can do such a wonderful job, without errors, I think we should all take our hats off to those typi-sts. The design on the cover should be given honorable mentionf: Mi: Yearbook, weire eager for any suggestions that you might be able to offer that will better our book. Have you any? uVVhy, yes. For the first thing, I would say to arrange your material differently. It was all mixed together in your 1943 edition. A separate section should be given for certain material. You had a fairly good amount of miscellaneous, but it was scattered. Why donit you write a little more about the Exchanges? The kids of G. H. S. would like to have you mention them next year. Any criti- cism for them would be greatly appre- ciated, too. Will you tell them what you think of their 'Rostrum,?,' The Pinnaclev from South China ap- proached Mr. Yearbook then. Mr. Year- at it a few minutes and offer you no criticisms for book looked said, HI can your book is pretty nearly perfect. Your very good and your edi- pictures are torial section is outstanding. Your humor and alumni sections took my eye, toof, Last on Mr. Yearbook's list was The Keystonev from Crosby High School in Belfast. The first thing he noticed was the clear pictures in the ibook. And after reading it he told HT. Kf' how well he liked the division of the book into class sections. c'The snapshots were interest- ing, too, and the stenciling was a won- derful job. Muzch credit must go to your typists. I noticed the lack of an Exchange Column. How about adding one? How about some poems to go with your swell literary sections, too? Your 'Freshmen at the Gate of Saint Peter' and other humorous divisions are very amusing r id interesting. We used a few of your itffias in our book. Thankslv
