THE IZOBEIZT MOIPRJQ - -FIVE YEARS AG-O HOW WELL! EEIZJ . . Editors, Kathy Mcllvaine and Evelyn Shaginaw, interview Mrs. Thornley at her home. Twenty-five years ago Morris- ville High School published the first Robert Morris and we are taking this opportunity to ac- knowledge this 25th Anniver- sary. The yearbook has come a long way since that first year and many changes can be found in it. However, common problems have always faced the staff whose iob it is to compile the Robert Morris. We found that out through our interviews with for- mer members of the 1939 year- book staff. Among these interviewed was Mrs. Anthony Thornley who had acted as Girls' Sports Editor on The first staff. Mrs. Thornley told our interviewers, How well I remember our problems of or- ganization, deadlines, and adver- tisers. We were pioneers in our field, for never in the history of Morrisville High School had there been a yearbook. Convinced that we could publish one, our big- gest problem was to convince the school authorities that we could do it. Our persistence overcame their doubts. And everyone fi- nally approved the finished prod- uct. Their theme was Robert Mor- ris and they emphasized this by numerous drawings throughout the book. Our yearbook, 25 years the original's iunior, still bears the name of Robert Morris but dif- fers greatly in theme and content. However, the pride in the fin- ished product never changes. 9
