Staff Publishes I7th Ionian The Senior class of 1943 presents, through the Annual Staff, this ltlonianf' The staff chose as a theme this year School Life. We think this theme shows average American life, the idea for which many of the boys in this school, in this class, and on this staff will soon be fighting. We realize this yearbook of 1942-43 could never have been published without the help of the students, faculty, townspeople, and the business men of lonia. Therefore we wish to express our deepest thanks to them. Although the staff included only ten Seniors, seventeen other Seniors, Gloria Gardner, Bob Raymor, loan Fuller, Gwen Barnes, Eric l-leitman, lames Smith, Steve Rice, Norma lean l-ligbee, Muriel Smith, Leora Moore, loyce Guernsey, Marjorie f-lague, Phyllis Hulbert, Gordon Green, Corinne Wolverton, Harold McArthur, and Ed- ward Grant, wrote articles for the literary Com- mitlee. Twenty-four sold ads and Annuals, and many Seniors helped the literary committee type copy, To Miss Mabel Brown, Principal Lloyd T. Smith, and Russel Bates, the Senior class is greatly in- debted for their many hours of hard work. Mr. Bates is a junior high teacher, and his every spare moment for many weeks was occupied in taking pictures for the Annual. T H E S T A F F Editor-in-Chief . . . . ...., . .
