. I I willll I IN WHICH A TIREII BUT STILL 4 ,III ' unnlscuunnafn mmm wants A I' FINAL nuunavf PRAISE or wnnntns And so, gentle reader, you have reached the end. Have we achieved the hopes of our prologue? In this article End names, etc., of the personalities at whom your plaudits should be aimed. First of all, our thanks to the hard-working, patient, deserving group of staff members-those twenty- odd students who so sacrificially laid down all other work when needed for some Cavfus job. Need we say more? A special bit of apprecia- tion to Ralph Cowan, our student photo- grapher, who so diligently worked on a great portion of this opus. Hopes are that among the ranks of next year's staff there will be one who can serve as well as did Ralph. Our best wishes for a pleas- ant summer, free from all academic wor- ries, to our adviser trio, B. H. Penrod, Gladys Lewis, and Grace Cleveland, on whom we bestow voluminous gratitude for aid and guidance. Thanks, too, for excellent work go to Beitler Studio, Peerless Print- ing Corporation, and Hall Printing Com- pany-all Marion organizations. The four divison pages which you noted to be so well drawn were the work of Joan Kennedy and Virginia Garthwait, of the art department-guid- ed by Miss Cleveland. For the support and oft- needed boosting he has given, our hopes for the future well-being of that kindly character, Pop,' Kendall. Thanks to a thousand and one unnamed personages from whom we have solicited advice and counsel. To a fine friend and good salesman, Ray Woolever, of the Fort Wayne Engraving Company, go our raspberries and assorted cabbages, hoping he'll have a bang-up 4th of July. Any- way, he knows we're joking, and his com- pany has done a remarkable job on the engraving end of this book. But last of all, Qand we hope he sees thisD to a yet unappointed editor-our profound sympathies, plus a few gray hairs and jagged fingernails. That's all. DON E. BATTON, Erlifor-in-Chief.
