FALL NUMBER, 1946 -le Jay Presents 13 ss o r I lam S C7Ileaktieel and cika The Editor had a brainstorm; Yogi Williams had an inspiration; and the 1947 JAYHAWKER has Heath- cliffe and Heoweez. In the creation of these two new characters, the sky was the limit for no one has ever seen a real Jayhawk. Personifying a bird presents other natural problems and, obviously, no bird, with the one exception of a chick, ever had a figure anything like Heoweez! As for the exaggeration of the bills, Yogi ' s only explana- tion was that he just likes them that way. Starting work for the JAYHAWKER back in the fall of 1941, Gene Williams completed two years of pre- medicine before entering service in June of ' 43. During operations in Europe, he served as a company aid man in the 71st Infantry Division of the Third U. S. Army. Coming home last April after eighteen months overseas, Yogi soon found he had a lot in common with Theta Virginia Tolle. Both live in El Dorado. Although Milton Caniff, well-known creator of Terry and Yogi — he had an inspiration. the Pirates, recently revealed that Virginia Larson, 1.946 jay- hawker beauty queen, was his inspiration for Jane Allen, Yogi swears on his honor he had no such inspiration for his Heoweez. For obvious reasons the identity of Gene ' s model for his fall num- ber pin-up girl on page 52 must remain a staff secret. After working with him for two years before the war, the Editor was more than happy this fall to welcome Williams back to his old job and appoint him as Art Editor of the 1947 JAYHAWKER. Gene enjoys his cartooning so much that he ' s given up medi- cine for the Fine Arts School and a major in commercial drawing. As you leaf through your annual, you ' ll know he made a right decision.
