27 19 4 0 Senior Annual Staff With this “Ionian we the class of 1940 mark another milestone of our work in high school. It has been a difficult and obstructed path with the illness of our editor and business manager. With this yearbook we have introduced new ideas in its publication. Of these innovations we have been very proud. It has been our hope to record here many memories that will in later life be revived. If this is achieved, we can feel assured that this publication is a success. We wish to thank those who have lent their services that this 1940 “Ionian might be completed. It would have been impossible without the help of the faculty, students, and business men.
