The 1940 Wfarbler won second place in the state contest for printed annuals and a sweep- stakes trophy and first place trophy for printed annuals at the 20th Annual Northern lnterscholastic Press Association meet held at the University of North Dakota, November 7. 8, and 9. Four states. Wisconsin, South Da- kota. Montana, and North Dakota competed. Members of the staff did most of the work in putting out the '41 production except print- ing and engraving. which were done by com- mercial firms. In selecting the theme, the staff considered students' wants and practicalness, with the idea that it would give a little more light on the subjectf' As most of the work of the annual was done by students. staff members felt that it would serve to demonstrate MHS spirit and ability. Most informal pictures appearing in the book were taken, developed. and printed in the darkroom by some of the group. En- larging and scaling pictures for engraving was a job left for others not engaged in vari- ous parts of the process. After this was done. all picture-pasting and alphabetical arrange- ments had to be done before the engravers re- ceived the material. ivriting the copy for all pages. also. was no small task.
