ADA RYLAND Editor Ethel Rogers, copy writer par excellence, took enough time from her Work on the Profile to help the editors of the TROUBADOUR out in many Ways. Her fine characterizations of the administrative heads form an important part of the book. In many other spots her touch is evident. Her criticisms were flawless, and her humor smoothed the Way over numerous rough places. .Iane Fry was utility man of the staff. Always on hand to do reams of typing, she did her work efficiently and well. In addition she sorted class pic- tures and took on many of the thousands of things indispensable to the editing of a yearbook. Hers too was the task of keeping the editor cheered up In an attempt to make this year's TROUBADOUR a truly Hendrix book Written by the students, and designed to portray accurately life on the campus, the editors chose to use the Alma Mater, the most typically Hendrix tradition to their knowledge, as the theme. As We turn now and reflect on the TROUBADOUR as it has progressed through the past eight months, we are both relieved and happy-relieved that we have been able to serve the Hendrix student body and the school by producing a book, which we hope will be a success. This year's TROUBADOUR has faced many obstacles. If this is ever read, it will indicate that it has overcome most of them-at least enough for the printer to receive something resembling a yearbook. As usual, we blame a part of our mis- fortunes on the War. At the first of the year it seemed that there would be no TROUBADOUR at all. There was no one to edit it, no one to Write it, and not enough students to pay for it. Then in October the editors of this book were ap- pointed, and began their duties. Still there were no writers and no money. Along in December when men of the ASTP subscribed for 160 copies of the book it began to appear that there would actually be a TROUBADOUR after all. In Ianuary actual Work began on the book, a theme was selected, a dummy made up, and Mr. Fausett made his first TRCUB f p 2 1'-T1 ' Q if 'f S A YRS'- - -.'

Betty Cantrell took over the job of Writing up the activities of the numerous organizations on the cam- pus. Page after page of copy flowed from her pro- lific typewriter to find their way into the book. To her is due all credit for the entire section on organi- zations, and if the editor is not slain for discrimina- tion in some way or another, silent tribute will be paid Cantrell for her excellent articles. ludy Hays served as chief assistant to the busi- ness manager. She proved to be an ad Chaser de luxe and a loyal staff member as well. Many are her contributions to the advertising section of this book. ,
