The 1918 Red and Black Ever since 1913, the Budget Staff has published an Annual for the Seniors. Last year a Commencement Budget was issued. This year the Budget Staff could not handle the Annual on account of the work involved in getting out their bi- weekly. The Seniors, feeling, that they should have something by which to re- member their class, decided to have an Annual, and elected an Annual Manager who was to appoint a staff. This was not done until February 20, which left a very short time for the work to be accomplished. The Annual this year is not as elaborate as it might have been if we had had more time for working it up. The existing war conditions have also cut down on many things that would otherwise have been put in. Many difficulties confronted us. The first thing was to collect $2.50 from each Senior. This was a job, as anyone knows, who has done collecting. It was a hard task to select a staff, who could give their time to the Annual. However, we have found that the choice made, was entirely satisfactory. Much credit is due the staff and the committees under it. Beside the staff, there are others whose services were of inestimable value. We wish to thank the Budget for its fine co-operation in the way of material and advice. The Art De- partment of the school also deserves a great deal of credit for their panel work. We hope that everyone will overlook the mistakes made in this Annual and that the following classes will profit by them, particuarly by starting the work early in the school year. HERBERT OLSON, Mgr. VERNE CHURCH, Asst. Mgr.
