Sidney Thompson, Yearbook Editor After months of work, the 1957 Yearbook went to press. This year, the staff was composed entirely of seniors. Our new editor, Sidney Thompson, was chosen to take over the job of Bob Brown, last year ' s editor. Right away we decided to make this year ' s Yearbook the best it has ever been and all think it is. Doing such jobs as labeling pictures, typing copy and drawing pages, occupied the minds of all as deadlines drew near. Hewitt Studios again made the pictures for the underclassmen and the pictures for the senior class were made by Zamsky Studios. Class pictures were a problem when they were lost or not paid for, but problems arose everywhere before the yearbook was finished. This year a new camera, the Pacemaker 4x5 Crowngraphic was purchased to supply the many hundreds of pictures needed for the new Yearbook. As the year wore on, work increased as everyone tried to get the yearbook to press. The dummy, which is the un- finished book, was returned to be completed. Each page had to be drawn in triplicate and all copy had be typed on the pages before the book could go to press. All pictures had to be identified, numbered for page and place and cropped. After much work and times when it seemed we would never make the deadlines, the Year- book was completed. We are very pleased with the 1957 Yearbook and we hope everyone in the school will like it also. Marilyn Meserve, Copy Editor; Shirley Garman, Managing Editor and John Harrelson, Sports Editor
