From these students the Kelvynian staff is made up. Then, actual Work begins. The entire staff roams the halls, pursuing bashful seniors in search of inter- views to obtain information for the individual character sketches. In these character sketches the accomplishments of each person for his four years at Kelvyn must be condensed into forty words or less. Another problem in con- nection With the character sketches is the spelling of the names, since experi- ence has shcwn that a misspelled name usually brings out the Worst in the nature of the vict'm. While the gradrates are thus being accounted for, the articles are taking shape. The prospective Kelvynian author spends many evenings Writing his first draft, second draft, third draft, fourth . . . ad infinitum. By the time the final result is achieved, there is practically no resemblance to the original crude product. In the meantime, division circulation managers have been perambulating around divisions in search of subscribers, and the production staff has been counting words, lines, and paragraphs, getting each article to its proper size. Then, before one realizes that time has slipped by, the yearbook is out, and the student body is scurrying around collecting autographs. l26l
