Lloyd Julian covered the campus with his all-seeing camera, photographers John Sembower and Edward Ax also made pictorial contributions. Kay Trout, Photography Editor, and her co-workers, Priscilla Sanford, Florence Mulvihill, and Chrystal Clapp mounted pic- tures with perseverence and efficiency. Mary Ellen Stockdale compiled lists of Senior Activities, while Rubyann Malasz collected data on college organizations. William Hopp acted as general assistant. The subscription campaign was conducted by George C. Swan- son and his bevy of beautiful sales girls. Sports editors John White and Thelma Carr covered all athletic events. Due to the undying efforts of all these people, combined with the advice and encouragement of Hubert Smith, faculty publications supervisor, the 1938 Sycamore was eventually produced-for better or for worse.
