Mrs. Creekmore, Mrs. Gaugler, and Miss Ware will always be held in high esteem by us for their helpful suggestions and words of encouragement. Humor and interest were added to our book by Walter Bass and Arthur Meyer, who employed their talent in making cartoons and taking pictures that will long be remembered by the owners of a “1937 Pennant ’. To Ella Marie Ng, Cecilia Wilk, Naomi Milland, and Billy Smith, who have aided in making the publication of this book possible by securing advertising and selling books, we express our gratitude. The constant and enthusiastic work of Paul Bybee has made this hook a financial success, and his efficiency as a business manager will long be remembered.
