IRVING SKETCH BOOK f Ti 7 V jf! 5,35 The lrvonian The Irvonian is one of the oldest organizations in Irving School. From 1891 to 1921 it supplied the literary needs of the school. In 1921 the Sketch Book was started by Mr. Jackson. Three issues of the Irvonian have been published so far this year. They are excellent examples of the high grade of work for which it is noted. We firmly believe that the Irvonian is one of the best publications of its type, for a school of this size, in the country. William Boland, Editor-in-Chief, put forth his best efforts and proved himself to be worthy of such a position. His School Notes this year were a great addition to the paper. Assitant-Editor Carl Avignone has also done noteworthy work in producing the publications. The business end of the paper has been ably managed by Business Manager Daniel Sudbringg Assistant Business Manager Walker Rookeg Advertising Manager Lionel Asen and his assis- tant John Kilborng and Subscription Manager Willis Hutchins. A publication of this type has a great deal of business to be handled and these men executed their several duties with effi- ciency. They have secured ample funds to further and enlarge the publication. Henry Imboden and Francis Bartow supervise the literary and art sectionsg Robert Stupp the athletics, Albion Eckert the exchangesg Douglas Brooks the jokesg and Francis Foley, who writes the alumni notes, is probably one of the most valuable men on the board,-read his editorials and see for yourselfg these members of the Staff are responsible for the interesting paper which appears four times a year. Howard Meyer is the Lower School representative. It is impossible to express our appreciation of the efforts of Mr. Jackson, to whom we owe the basic success of the paper. It is he who makes it possible to produce such a publication. His ready advice is always accepted and looked forward to. . ,ff B V-b Y I it Page one hundred fifteen

gg IRVING SKETCH Book The Sketch Book Few .indeed, realize the enormous amount of work necessary for the production of such a publication as-the Sketch Book. Many are the de- tails of which the outstanding are: the financing, the photography, the engraving, and the assembling of the material for the dummy. It is the earnest desire of every Board to better the efforts of their predecessors. The accomplishment of this requires the cooperation of the entire student body. As an artist striving to paint a masterpiece is handi- capped by a lack of adequate facilities, just so is a Board handicapped by lack of interest on the part of those whom it vitally concerns. It is not out of place to mention here the fine work done by the mem- bers of this year's Board. x Too much credit cannot be given to the Editor-in-Chief, John Moore Richardson, Jr. The efficient way in which he worked was truly remark- able and his enthusiasm has served as a stimulus to all. G. Bartlett Brownell did creditable work as Assistant Editor-in-Chief. The finances of the book were aptly taken care of by Business Manager C. Dorsey Forrest, Advertising Managers, Harry C. Townsend, Edmund J. Abbott Jr., and Subscription Managers, Harry C. Jones Jr., and Gerald Murphy. The literary end was splendidly upheld by the Literary Editor, Rich- ard V. Thomson, John W. Powell, Drummond Gibson, John Crippen, Mar- vin Parkhurst, and Carl Sherred. We feel that this book is a credit to Irving School. However, we, the Board, attribute its entire success to Mr. H. S. Jackson, Faculty Ad- visor. Since the year 1922, when Mr. Jackson instituted the Sketch Book, it has steadily improved due to his tireless efforts for its betterment. The Sketch Book Board wishes to extend its best wishes to the Board of 1928 for a successful issue. A 1 W Ii Page one hundred seventeen
