THE 1931 BAYON ET -cr LAST YEAR the good points and the weak points of the 1930 BAYONET seemed very evident to us and this year we were all set to produce the best year-book ever printed for the Academy. The simplicity of the problem has decreased alarmingly since this present staff has taken up the reins and in the face of the many small problems that beset any annual staff, the large problem of getting out a book at all has become a considerable one to us. We now, however, begin to see some prospect of continuing the tradition of publishing an annual and we thus want to call attention to the ways and means of accomplish- ing the task. Walker, A. C., as Editor-in-Chief, has had to work with Captain Mooney, Faculty Adviser, in organizing the book and in dividing and assigning the various parts of the work, he has also worked with George Sherman in editing the Military Department. McNeely, aided by Sam Eaton, has made a big success of the Advertising Department in a year which promised at first to be an exceedingly poor one-without his and Eaton's efforts the BAYONET in its present form would have been an impossibility. Fox, last year's Editor-in-Chief, was brought into service again to supervise the arrangement of the Fraternity section, both edi- torially and financially. He and Sherman between themselves have seen to it that nearly everyone requiring an individual picture has paid the neces- sary visit to the James Studio. It has been the work of Williamson and Gourlie to write up the athletics of the school. Coker, Pendleton, and Robinson started out with the highly laudable intention of writing individual biographical sketches of each senior but gave up in despair, deciding that the traditional sum- mary form was more practicable-Coker finished this task alone, while Robinson and Pendleton joined forces with Moseley in developing the humor section. Paterson, W. A., edited the faculty division and Joe Arnold, the oldest member of the Staff in point of service, designed the pen and ink sketches that adorn these pages. In this connection the Staff wants to thank Neal Higgins for his contribution in the form of the fraternity coats of arms. In all, the Staff has worked together well and pleasantly and it is their hope that their production may prove pleasant to the BAYONET,S readers. Their attempt has been to give a somewhat more colorful account of Riverside activities for the year than has been provided in the past. Reverting to the first person--we seem to have shifted about considerably in our search for an impersonal viewpoint-we hope that you will like our efforts. 1 9 3 1 0 'T' an PAGE 7
