f 70 Editor Kane nl irorlf Bll.9illP.9S Wllilulger Doug ,lnlmston .... - Cn-Erliior ffllllfk Hrlrcllrrls and Editor Bonnie Kane Y ARBUOK S T AF Colne with me to Room 108 yy here the Oak Log office is located . . . any time from early in the morning until late in the afternoon. any day from the middle of September to the middle of May. Blaring music from the record player forms the background for the clickety clack of the typewriters. the crash of falling coffee cups, and the buzz of human voices . . . sometimes raised in anger. but most of the time filled with gaiety and laughter. The gray' haze of cigarette smoke fills the air: desks and floors are littered with pictures. layout. and copy. but work goes on and the Oak Log takes form. Like many' publications staffs the 1959 Oak Log staff suffered through tight dead- lines and many' changeovers. Getting settled found Bonnie Kane and Chuck Edwards as eo-editors. and Dick Hoffman and Betsy Crowley' as Laney assistant editors. At mid- semester Chuck Edwards transferred to San Francisco State. and Dick Hoffman grad- uated. They. Bonnie. Betsy. Linda Bailey. Al Nielson. Rich Gohlke. Fred McDonald and Mr. Eddie Abood, were the stalwarts whose contributions made up for the loss of the two editors and did much to make the book a realization. The Oak Log has more editorial work in it than any two other annuals its size. I if you donit believe it take a look at some others and see for yourself! and writing copy required much time and no less skill. 'lt doesnit seem like it, but there are many people who have contributed to the completion of the Oak Log. Among those special helpers were Doug Johnston, Busi- ness Managerg Dr. John Summersette, Adviserg and Mr. Eddie Abood, Faculty Coordinator for Laney Campus. Withcmut their contributions the Oak Log could not have survived. Even those who are not seen on these pages--the fans and the well wishers. played a big part. too. Consulting Editor Willianl Rulon

The Oak Log, feeling unbound by the obstacle of conformity, continued to ex- periment with the 35 mm approach in photography. Most of the 35 mm shots were made by Cal Bernstein, Francisco Ortiz, Sy Marcuse, and Al Nielson. Laneyls Photography Department, under the directorship of Mr. Noll produced the Laney Faculty photograph and many others used as ucasualsw throughout the book. Wilbur Kee from Laney was the principal photographer most seen on the campus taking photographs. The yearbook covers were from S. K. Smith Company, and secured through Mr. Ralph Buckwalter, former Editor of the 1955 Stanford University Quad. Cover design was the selection of Editor Kane and a special committee.
