The Argonaut Here, at long last, by the sweat of the brows of some twenty students, the ache of their heads and delicate bones, the bags under their sleepless eyes, and, by actual count, thirty-three pure white hairs fwith the editors displaying shiny, billard ball domesl you have it, the 1948 Argonaut, However, with tle groans of Oh, where did I put that Class Will? , These articles are all too short! , and Heavens! Who owns that one eye and the mop of hair peeking over Patt's shoulder? , ttere were hiliarious shouts of Ev, your sketches are simply adorable! and t'Our covers are here, a whole two months ahead of time!'l The staff only hopes that all of you may enjoy as many pleasant memories in looking it over now and in future years as it has had in publishing it. Beryl Miench and Mary Ann Spencer. as co-editors, along with Pat Fox, business manager, headed the hard-working staff members. Lois Rahm and Pat Scheffer took over the very important positions of advertising managers, while Margi Dundon and Rosalie Fontana backed them up as subscription managers. Rtth Maynard was placed in charge of publicity, Gerry Lindstrom, activities, and Dave Freeman managed the writing of sports. Ev Syrjanen did a superb job of the art work to be found throughout the book, her collaborator Jeanne Plankey, art assistant, drew the complete series of the Seven Dwarfv publicity posters. The rest of the staff held the following positions: Dramatics, Jean Floding Music, Diana Khoury, and Editorial Assistants, Sarah Barker, Norma Graefe, Ellen Cohodes, and Paul Gingrass. And, as an entirely new addition to the Argonaut Ltaff, it sported this year two Junior staff mem- bers, Patt Strand and Marion Cloots, who will head the '49 yearbook as Editor and Business Manager, respectively. It is our hope that, working with those whose positions they will fill, they have gained some valuable experience which they can put to good use next year. Many thanks go also to Mr. Bruce Guild, under whose supervision the 1948 Argonaut has been published. We would like to express too, at this time, our appreciation to the adver- tisers, without whose help we would never have been able to put out a book. Page Sixty one

These and many more are the sort of gripes and complaints the Mountaineer Staff receives annually, but all in all, the work and grief is well worth it. The Mountaineer forged its way into the hearts of the students again this year, with many new features, and outstanding qualities. During the first semester it was guided by our co-editors, Beryl Miench and Patt Strand. Wo would like to extend our thanks to Mr. McRae and Miss Overton for their capable guidance, and to give an extra special thank-you to Miss Overton for her hard work with the revived Journalism classes during the second semester.

Thespians Presided over by Vern Dalquist, Presiolentg Pat Scheffer, Vice-Presidentg and Jean Flodin, Secretary-Treasurer, the 1947-1948 Thespian Troupe Number 174 has certainly ful- filled its long established motto, t'Act well your partg there all the honor lies. To be eligible to become a Thespian, it is necessary for the candidate to earn ten points, each point being made up of ten hours work, or a total of one hundred hours. Many of the present Thespians are one, two, three, and four star Thespians, each star representing a play they worked on after becoming Thespians. Our hats are off to these ambitious students in dramatic arts. After the Junior-Senior play, Dear Ruth , in which many of the Thespians proved their acting and organizing ability, and during the latter part of winter, a very impressive candlelight initiation was held, and five new members, Ellen Cohodes, Nels Larson, Bud Marchetti, Betty Cordry, and Gerry Lind- strom, were admitted to the troupe. A party was held afterward in the recreation room to celebrate their admittance into the highest dramatic organization in the nation. Work was quickly begun on the Thespian play Little Women . Many of the hard-working Thes- pians will be graduating this year, but they are leav- ing in their places an eager and enthusiastic grouo to carry on under the supervision of Mrs. Mattliewson. sponsor of the troupe, With her kind guidance and consideration we may look forward to numerous suc- Pal Snheffer, Vern Dahlquisl, Jean Flndin. cessful productions in the near future.
