ANNUAL STAFF As we publish this yearbook, one phase of our senior activity is terminated. We have tried to make various improvements and innovations to insure its success. As far as material value goes, perhaps the worth of this book is not to he counted; but as time makes its relentless march forward, the Ionian will mean much to us to recall friendships and activities as well as physical and mental growth. Without the help and cooperation of business men and the townspeople, we could not have had an annual. And so, to them in large part, we owe the existence and success of the 1939 Ionian.
