without a murmur. If it hurt them they endured it in silence. But who could with- stand such tender, earnest entreaty — the pleading face of a Normal School girl . ' Some of our difficulties were of a rather peculiar nature. Several of the finest jokes and some excruciatingly funny grinds had to be omitted because they hit some member of the Staff a little too hard. Other witticisms had to be omitted because sfmie of the members of the Editorial Staff were so very tender-hearted ; so afraid of hurting their friends or their room-mates ' friends. So girls, if any of you get more than your sharenf the grinds, remember it was because you had no influ- ential friends, or friend ' s friend, un the Staff And then those pictures! We were told that it woulil be useless tn attempt get- ting uj) the AN ' UAL unless we were going to have ever girl ' s picture in it. Our pocir Editor-in-Chief was so harassed with the subject that she dreamed one night that every family represented at the Normal School wanted a picture of every one of its members to appear in the Annual. It seemed as if the fate c f The Virginian depended upon those pictures. One young lady when asked the object of the Annual, actually said it was to get the girls ' pictures in bo(jk form. Again, we were hampered in our work by our ignorance, inexperience and lack of credit. From what has been said above one might suppose that these sad conditions were found uid - among the subscribers. This was evidently nut the case, for in a let- ter received frcim a publishing company we read with humiliation, If you have any more tpiestions, do hesitate to ask them. And oh, how we liung our heads, when a member o f the Faculty actually asked for a recei|)t lor the pa)nient of his subscrip- tion. ( )ur impaired credit ma - l;e ilue to the fact that we have generally considered the subject (jf finances as beneath our notice. One day a ]»jor ignorant member of the Student body stopped one of our editors and asked in the most matter-of-fact way, Miss W , what are you going to do with the surplus fund.? Oh, the editor answered, in the same tone, we are going to have an ice cream festival and perhaps start a bank. These are only a few of our many experiences, but are they not sufficient to con- ince any one that it is delightful to be an editor. ' THE EDITORS.
