THE STAFF OF '39 Soon after school started, the Nokomis High School Annual Staff, appointed by the faculty, plunged into its most stupendous undertaking. Plans went forward with one objective in mind—to make the book an interesting review of student life. Desirous of doing something different, the staff decided to use individual pictures of all students. Realizing that a true picture of student life is best gained through the medium of the informal snapshots, the staff attempted to collect as many as possible. It is one thing to plan something—another, to develop and accomplish its end. The Staff extend their appreciation to those individuals not officially on the staff, who did much to make this book a success. Deans of the Indian yearbook, Who worked from morn till night, To put before your very eyes This magnificent sight. The sponsors and the staff together— Each has done his diligent part; Each worked with a spirit true Coming from the depth of his heart. Two of them went around shooting, Six were taking down notes, The other two adding the finishing touch, The sponsors holding the yoke. They feel their work they’ve completed, Their fame in every line lies. They hope this brings to your memory The People, Their Deeds, and Diversions Of nineteen thirty-nine. F. F. K. PAGE 6
