-; ND so it ends — our story. As we complete the final tasks, it is with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow that we hand over our work to those who follow us. In remembering this past year, and the hours we ' ve spent together — .some m real earnest work compiling all that goes to make up a book — many in fun and laughter over the incidents that have happened — we stop to realize all those groups and individuals to whom we owe a debt oi gratitude, and without whom our dreams of the 1940 VlRGINIAN could never have become a reality. To Daniel and Smith Photographers we give our sincere thanks for their loyalty, interest, and assistance in making our pictorial record of the year. To Jahn Oilier Engraving Company we give deep appreciation for their efficient service, and their constructive criticism and advice on our problems of making a layout suitable to the theme of our book. To J. P. Bell Company, Inc., the printers, go well deserved thanks for their patient and helpful service in helping us to work out the details of our new undertaking. To Mr. Paul Spring and Mr. Lee Williamson go our heartiest thanks for some of the material in our snap section. Throughout the year, Mr. T. A. McCorkle, our faculty adviser, has been always ready to help us with problems that have seemed almost baffling, and to give us encouragement when our plans seemed to reach a standstill. Miss Nancy Foster, literary adviser, and Miss Virginia Bedford, art adviser, have given generously of their time and energy in helping us to carry out our plans. To the Student Body we owe immeasurable thanks — this story is your story — It is you who have made this book possible. Our task has been merely that of collecting and making a permanent record of the memories that you have made. Lastly, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to the staff of The 1940 Virginian. It is difficult for us to say how earnestly we appreciate their un- tiring work, their invaluable suggestions and ideas, and their remarkable spirit. They have seen the year from the student ' s viewpoint, and have worked faith- fully and long to complete the many tasks assigned to them. As the last page is finished, the last word written, we sense a small feeling of satisfaction in our work. Sincerely we hope that somewhere within these pages each of you will find a spot that has its own meanings for you, and which will bring back cherished memories of your life at Farmville in 1 939- ' 40.
