! Although we got off to a very slow start, the 1950 SLASHES is at last an actuality. There was that mad rush to meet the deadlines, some of us even giving up part of our Christmas holidays to help. There were those pretty afternoons that we had to stay at school to cut and paste pictures, putting them in alphabetical or- der, and facing the never-ceasing fear of misspelled names. And last but not least, there was that black cloud of ads. But through the excellent cooperation and support of our many advertisers, our SLASHES finally went to press. Even though it was months of hard work for our loyal annual staff, as we look back on our jobs, they seem more a pleasure than a chore. Staff Seated, left to right: Evelyn Wall, Ann Merritt, Ed Cox, Business Manager; Corrie Gillespie, Pat Blair, Carlene Mitchell, Ottellia Teibel. Standing: Keith Taylor, Ann Mallory, Ed Wickham, Jimmy Glave, Editor; Hilda Powers, Ann Turner, Harriet Pack- ard, Hatcher Wells. 25
