M, W W.. ..a ra Wg of 1901. The Taleoken this year commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Ken High. After We had been in school a few Weeks, there came an announcement over the public address system stating that any senior Wishing to become a member of the Taleoken Staff was to hand in his or her name to Miss Boucher. This was the Hrst step forward in the publishing of the Taleoken. The members of the staff then met in an attempt to choose an appropriate cover for the year book. After long arguments and much voting they arrived at the decision of a gold cover in accord- ance With the golden anniversary. Then there was the task of se- curing advertisements. Each member was given the names of three or four business establishments and it was his job to secure from each one a pledge to support the Taleoken. This Was done success- fully by the good salesmanship of the members. Senior names were then handed out for Write-ups. This caused much excitement and many questions to Hnd out Who was Writing up Whom. The typists were now kept very busy. 4 The 1950 Staff confers with Miss Hawk, a member of the class

There was much planning on the setup of the book and the buildin of th th ' ' g e eme and deciding what went best on each page. Names were to be Put in alphabetical order and pictures identified and a little written about each informal picture. The activities, classes, and athletic sections were then to be written and every one worked as long and hard as possible to have them complete in inform- ation. We then anxiously awaited the return of the plates from the engraver so that we could write the informal captions. Having everything written and the pictures planned on the pages, the Taleoken was then sent to the printer U on h - P t e return, there were many long hours spent on proof reading. Then, on the evening before the Taleolcen is to be presented to the student f K s o en Hi, a banquet is held for the members of the Taleok S ff en ta and as a fitting close for their diligent work they are given a preview of the printed Taleolcen.
