ff!ie1936 Redafiin . . . V,-L f'llf i936 Rlf0SKlN, vvhich is the tvventy-seventh vol- t ume of the publication, is not the vvorl4 of one indi- vidual or of fevv individuals, but is the vvorlt of many. The thoughts of many individuals went into it and it was simply the task of the staff to arrange them into one harmonious pattern. Not only did many different ideas go into this bool4 but many dollars vvere spent in its construction. perhaps, it would be interesting to lcnovv just hovv this boolc vvas constructed. During the summer and the first part of the year, the editor and business manager spent many hours tallcing to print- ers, engravers, and photogra- phers to learn some of the tech- nical problems that they must master before they could direct the staff in its vvorlc. They also vvent to a convention of the National Col- legiate Press As- sociation held in Chicago, vvhere they noted the re- centtrend in year- boolc construc- tion. -lhis proved to be very profit- able to them. bl.-xxii-s Sitmxriii ui. .

The nevft problem presenting itself vvas that of getting the students to go dovvn to the photographers and get their pic- tures made on time so that the engraver's deadlines could be met. A nevv system vvas used. At the request of the Redsldn staff, the several sororities and Murray l-lall entered candi- dates in the Redslcin Beauty Queen Race. Each subscriber that vvent to the studio to have his picture made on the day designated by the Redslcin vvas issued a thousand votes for his favorite candidate. This queen race was very successful and Miss Katherine Lee Zahn vvon the title of the Redslcin Queen and is featured in the beauty section of this boolc. The third taslc vvas that of getting the organization group pictures talaen. Elbert Bowen, managing editor, had charge of this work. lt was a very difficult one, but he handled the job Has Served a Great Service Institution and Its Students for Twenty-seven Years vvell. By this time pictures vvere being delivered to the edi- torial office. lhey had to be checked, identified, and sent to the engravers, Managing Editor Lyman Morris vvas in charge of this. Qne un- familiar vvith the vvorlc of the Red- slcin can hardly realize vvhatadif- ficult tasl4 it is to properly checl4 and identify the names of over 3000 students.

It vvas decided to hold an Amateur Hour and Beauty Revue and charge admission. An eminent French artist of considerable reputation vvas secured to select the beauties. l-le was Mr. Pierre lartoue. l-le charged no fee for his services but accepted on the condition that he be allovved to paint any one of the beauties that he desired and have her picture placed in the beauty section of the Red- sl4in, This vvas agreed to and on March Q3 the Amateur l-lour and Beauty Revue vvas held, vvith managing editor Bovven having full responsibility. l-le secured Leon- ard l-lovvard as master of cere- monies.
