endeavors to produce award-Winning annual This year, the Mustang staff received rec- ognition for the superior annuals that have been published in previous years. The Charlotte News printed a picture article concerning the printing and publication of the Mustang. One of the changes in the layout of the annual was the three-column page, a big change from the two-column spread design which the Mustang has had for the last three years. Through the new arrangement it was easier to vary layouts and to alter- nate picture sizes. Budget for the publication of the yearbook was obtained through the sale of ads and sponsorships and profit from the sale of pictures and the individual sale of annuals. There was no special ad staff this year, but the efforts of the entire staff made it possi- ble to reach the goal of S1500 set for ads and sponsorships. Seniors received their copies of the 1963 Mustang at the Senior Banquet at the end of May. Underclassmen received their an- nuals the next school day. f 'Q' . , .rs Classes staff assistants check identification of class pictures and correct names.
