A WORD FROM THE EDITOR— Shortly after school started this fall, annual staff officers were chosen at an all-school election. Very soon after this, the first staff meeting was call- ed, and work on Ogallala's second ••Chieftain” was begun. With the knowledge gained from the mistakes made last year, and with the splendid cooperation given us this year, staff members feel that we have been able to edit a bigger and better 1931) Chieftain.” Throughout the year the cooperation of the annual staff has been outstanding. Ruth Creamer, Associate Editor, is to be complimented for the splendid munner in which she carried out her several miscellaneous assignments. Jacque Gelsert and her assistant, Jane Hasdai, ably performed the duties of Organization Editors, Jacque doing most of the necessary typing. Bette Martin has been very efficient in her work as Senior Editor. Jack Doherty’s interest in sports has served him well in his write-ups as Sports Editor. Business Manager, Art Ditto, has also done a fine job. The advertising committee, Margaret Mary Thalken, Gerald Thalken and Jerry Peterson, and the finance munager, Ruth Weyer, have done per- haps the most toward making this •‘Chieftain” possible. The efforts of the advertising committee have brought about fine results in the sales of ad- vertising. Ruth Weyer has accurately handled and recorded all the money paid out and collected. The staff wishes to thank the faculty and the student body for their bucking and support, and the business men of our city for their financial aid, without which there would be no annual. The staff has worked laboriously on the ••Chief- tain,” and feel that any success on their part is due partly to the timely and Cheerful assistance given them by their sponsor. Miss Davis.
