Slzoulol 041461, Odcquainfance e orgof U The TradiTional IVXQRTONIAN ANNUAL embraces wiThin iTs covers The spiriT and soul of The school, picTorially and ecliTorially, as iT regisTers for posTeriTy all The acTiviTies of NlorTon. IT also serves as a veriTable TesTimonial of The greaT progress and accomplish! menT of each sTudenT. l The iniTial creaTion of The annual begins wiTh The organizaTion of The sfaff before school is dismissed for summer vacaTion. This gives sTaff members ample opporTuniTy To build up a reserve of energy and creafive ideas. All Too soon The spell of leThargy ends. As fall heralds The reopening of school, The sTafT arouse-s iTself and pushes forward in a bursT of zealous energy To formu- laTe.plans for a new and glorious annual. IT is inTeresTing To see The varied inTerpreTaTion of The same feaTures Through each suc- cessive year. FirsT To be considered in planning The year book are The Theme and cover. This becomes a group projecT and afTer much wrangling is usually seTTled To The saTisfacTion of all concerned. Gradually, ediTors and co-ediTors proceed To begin work on Their parTicular secTions Taking greaT care in designing layouT sheeTs, choosing aTTracTive picTures, and wriTing sTimulaTing copy, TiTles, and capTions. As The deadline for These assignmenTs approaches, acTiviTy in The annual oFlTce increases unTil The book is Hnally senT To press. AlThough The work of The annual members is almosT compleTed, There is sTill The maTTer of selling and disTribuTing Their mas- Terpiece, a job which keeps The sfaff busy for The remainder of The school year. The nuclei of This enThusiasTic crew are The indefaTigable Mr. R. J. Tudor and Miss J. MacDonald, who Through Their drive and pracfical advice sTand ouT as The guiding lighT of The projecT unTil The sTaff members have compleTed Their assignmenTs. lnTerspersed Through all This acTiviTy are The many gay annual picnics and parTies ThaT sTrengThen The bonds of friendship be- Tween an already harmonious group. IT is no wonder Then, as The school year draws To a close, ThaT a kind of sadness envelops The sTaff as The old members go ouT and The new ones come in. Planning ahead. Check and double check. S. Trurnpis, Miss .l. MacDonald, J. Hernikl, D. Demos. R. SmoTzer, B. Misek, Mr. R. J. Tudor, J. Vana, S. Krob. ,uf ,,- Z MT 'N-,X .Sw I Page 206
