Practically all of the ideas have been created by the staff, and all of the mechanical work has been done by the staff. No commercial layouts have been permitted in the publication. An interpretation of modern, good style has been the basis for the layouts and arrangement of the book throughout. We have worked toward raising the standards of the yearbook in the Teachers' College. Many goals have been set-some have been reached-some missed. Recompense for the services of the editor and business manager, with full staff cooperation available at all times has been our express expectation for future editors. We believe that the time is not far removed when a position on the yearbook staff, in any capacity, will be raised above the consideration of the average office-seeker. What few things have been said here should merit some consideration and thought. The order and system of things is constantly changing. Some changes are vastly beneficial. We hope that those who pause to read here will not think lightly of the material presented. -Editor. -Business Manager. KJEUKLJE FALLVILLK Literary Acvlsor ,..sf1 .'

P .Q 1'7 HH- A' Associate Editor as is f ' as if g X, , . ,, . M , . A .,.. ,,. ,, , , The beginning of the year brought out some seventy- five applicants for various positions on the staff. We tried to organize the worlc into three main units-the editorial, or literary staff, the business, or finance staff, and the layout staff. We had planned originally to set up the worlc in such a way that there would be a minimum of overlapping in the various departments. ln some cases, particularly at the beginning of the year, that system was followed. Toward the end of the year, however- We tried to gain such written information from the applicants as would prove useful to us in grouping them into one of the three departments. We based most of our decisions upon the previous experiences and quali- fications indicated, with due consideration to prefer- ences andsinterests shown for one or more of the three departments. Not in every case did we choose those who had had previous experience-in every project one can benefit, or if not benefit, must learn by trial the possibilities and qualifications of those in service. We tried to inaugurate an apprenticeship system whereby the succeeding editor must have worlced with the present editor as his associate. We feel that an ap- prenticeship plan will malce the publication of the year- boolc an easier job for the new editor, as well as the new staff and all concerned, if the special situation and con- ditions are lcnown and have been encountered in service Ellen Petty, assistant editor, Henderson May, assistant business manager, Ralph Wilson, assistant business manager, Wavenelle Cole, financial chairman, Howard Sharp, finance staff, Wilson Wierman, finance staff, Wilma Miller, finance staff, Mariada Duesing, faculty editor, Carolyn Heinemann, organizations editor, Ralph Goodson, layout art editor, Robert Hooton, artist, Dorothy Russell, artist, Myrtle Swanson, layout editor, Herbert Behrens, layout staff, Jacob Morgan, layout staff, Milton Pentecost, layout staff, Fred Reuter, layout staff, Marcella DeWitt, women's sports editor.
