Their work is on these pages for all to see. Q CQ. Visits by professional men exper- ienced and thoroughly skilled in var- ious phases of yearbook publication marked the early part of the year- the learning period. All the members of the staff, and Mr. William South- ard, advisor, were beginners and as lost as babes in the wilderness. But much was learned quickly from Jack Gribben and George Henry of Sun Engraving, who made repeated visits, along with William Margeau, the cover representative, and Bob Carpen- ter and our own Mr. Wallace Newell, printers. They also helped correct some misconceptions. But most of all they gave us not only a starting place but also worthy objectives. Jack Gribben and George Henry, in particular, felt that the book should be, as much as anything else, alive, for history is a living thing. This became a prime objective from the beginning. But others contributed much to the learning process and forming of ideas. The staff attended a workshop in Independence conducted by year- book people from over the entire eastern part of the state and led by professors from KU and K-State. Films and lectures there were supple- mented with mimeographed material for further guidance. On the staff in those early days. and for the first semester only, were Tudv Baity and Myrna Marshall. along with Sharon Dodson, Marty Moriarty. and Fditor Don Dickerson, who remained the full year. They were the ones who planned the book, including the cover. Photographers were Paul Tohnson. then Ronnie Komatz and DeAnne Day working as a team. The work load was divided more or less evenly and the menial chores began, such as drawing layouts, cut- aw. ting and pasting pictures, digging out data on students, etc. But, of course, it was not all drudgery for there were lots of moments of inspiration, exaltation, and even fun in making layouts and often in writing copy. But work it was and time moved on to the second semester quickly. With this move came two losses and two replacements on the staff, Leon Attebery replacing Judy and Pat Pappas replacing Myrna. There was a replacement in the photography de- partment, too, with Ted Day replac- ing his sister, DeAnne. Helping out considerably through both semesters was Frank Peoples who was the artist on the staff. The business staff, of course, was working feverishly, also, but under the direction of Mr. Wallace Newell, These important people are shown on Page 127 of this book.
