Publications Ma Moody and her brood puzzle over the problem of producing McLain's first yearbook. Poured into this first edition of the McLain Highlander is a lot of blood, sweat, toil, and tears. Since there was no class time allotted for the preparation of the book, we had to work when and where we could. The first step in preparing the book was completed on October 31, 1959, at the spon- sor's home. Here we organized the complete planning dummy, which is a rough draft of every page in the book. The Highlander was divided into seven sec- tions: features, faculty, classes, publications, clubs, activities, and athletics. Each staff mem- ber was carefully chosen for his or her ability to organize the assigned sections. The staff was composed of editor-in-chief, layout editor, art editor, business manager, publicity manager, copy chief, and the various section editors. This year we worked under many handicaps. First of all the maiority of the staff members had had no experience whatsoever in working with publications. This meant that each person had to learn all about the organization of his section and how to gather and tabulate the information. The art students had to learn the problems of commercial art. This involved color separation and art reproduction techniques. We put many long hours of hard work to- ward completion and perfection of the book. The primary aim of the staff was to publish a book that would be original in every sense of the word. We chose a theme that to our knowledge has never seen used before. Our styles of layout were different from other books: The faculty section was presented in in- formal poses as opposed to the traditional por- traits. Lastly, our policy of having informal group photographs is another thing that helps to make this book unique. The goal of the Highlander staff has been to produce an annual which every member of the student body will be proud to own. lt was this purpose that kept us burning the midnight oil without complaint, lt is our sincere hope that we have achieved this goal and that you will be able to look back on this book in years to come with a great deal of pride and pleasant memories.
