THE BAYONET The Riverside year is so active and so varied that it is difficult to chronicle it fully. The BAYONET Staff therefore asks its readers to keep this in mind in judging this Sixteenth Volume, for the task has been difficult despite a large amount of faithful work. Editor-in-Chief of the BAYONET is Cadet Major Bert Harrison, winner of the 1933 General Excellence Medal, who is now taking a post-graduate course in preparation for admission this summer into West Point. To him has fallen the task of organizing, of' collecting, and of rounding up the various staff members to see that assignments were completed. John Whitley, Business Manager, has applied himself thoroughly and well to a canvas of the firms of Gainesville and Hollywood and has secured excellent co- operation that has made publication on the present scale possible. Readers are judges of the merits of all staff members save the Business Manager-if all BAY- ONET work comes up to the high standard that Whitley has set in results then this book is assured of success. Next in the editorial family is Cadet Captain James Higgs whose job has been the very dangerous one of writing a biography of his own class, while Cadet Captain John Kent has had the even more hazardous assignment of writing of the Faculty. Other smaller assignments have fallen to the hands of these two staff members but their main work has been that indicated above. Sports have received the expert attention of Cadet Captain-we have lots of these high-ranking boys on hand-Bill Thompson, J. T. Morgan, and Frank

Gerard. Morgan and Gerard confine their sports activities largely to the literary while Rill has not only written history but has made history on the athletic fields. as Captain of this yearis football and tennis teams. A Cadet Captain R. F. Camp has been the BAYONETS military technician and has sought to develop the Military Department in keeping with Riverside's military record. 'llo Cadet Bull Stone has fallen the task of handling humor and activities-a job that may get him in trouble despite Captain Mooney's painstaking censorship. Cadets Cannon and Cantrell complete the official family-the former as Art liditor. the latter as re-write man-while Captain Mooney as Faculty Adviser has had to see to it throughout the year that youthful enthusiasm-for other thingsw- did not prevent preparation of copy. Too, he has had to get out his occasionally too-candid camera and the old drawing implements to assist in getting the book ready. Cadet Hix has done much with his drawing implements to further th work of the llumor Section. We close then by asking that you bear with us in the reading of this 16th Volume of the BAYON ET which we have tried to make truly representative of Riverside and Riverside traditions. lf we have in any way succeeded in our aim then we are confident that the book will be successful and that we can retire the old Remington with credit to it and to ourselves.
