MR. ALF J. MAPP SUPERINTENDENT The I, C. Norcom faculty and students are to be congratulated upon their initiative, enterprise and resourcefulness in once again publishing a yearbook. The school paper informs the student body, faculty, and friends of current achieve- ments, coming eventsg it gossips, philosophizes, crusades, is read avidly at the time, quickly cast aside and generally forgotten. The school literary magazine gives the creative writer a medium ofexpression, is read critically by contributors and would be contributors, agonized over by editors and advisers and soon finds refuge and rest on an inconspicuous library shelf. Not so with the yearbook. Its coming is eagerly anticipated months in advance of publication. The editorial staff spends countless hours in selecting a theme and many more tryinghours in decidinghow the theme can best be interpreted. 'The business staff agonizes over securing sufficient funds to finance the grandiose ideas of the editorial staff, for each edition must be different from any of its predecessors. It must portray the personality of the senior class. But once the yearbook becomes a reality, good or bad, it becomes the senior's most prized possession. Autographs are cherished and a laudatory inscription by a favorite teacher or campus hero has value beyond compare. Once properly autographed, the yearbook is given the place of honor among one's most prized possessions, to be thumbed through and dreamed over in all the years to come. When young men and women leave home to establish one of their own, things of greater material value may be left behind, but the yearbook is carefully wrapped and transported to another place of honor to be studied and enjoyed by another generation. The 1958 - 59 edition of THE GREYHOUND, too, will be accorded a place of honor in many homes. Mr. Alf J. Mapp, Superintendent
