ACTIVITIES, HOBBIES, HUMOR, AND SCHOOL SPIRIT ARE ALL A BIG PART OF HIGH SCHOOL LIFE AT JOHN R. ROGERS. PRODUCTION STORY 'l'he style and layout of a high school annual is always a problem to the staff. This year's book is an outgrowth of some ideas and thoughts put out by last year's cub reporters. Early last fall the adviser of the Treasure Chest, VVilliam Farden, wrote to Henry R. Luce, editor of Life magazine and asked if we could, in part, follow Life's style in Rogers' IQ54 yearbook. There was a prompt reply to the letter saying that except for certain copyrighted features it would be per- fectly acceptable for the annual staff to use Life's style, and the production began. First on the list of things to be accomplished was the final selection of the annual staff, with a few changes at the end of the first semester. Schedules and tentative layouts were planned, many more pic- tures than in previous years were scheduled because of the new style, and finally the space for the copy was laid out. Pat Mayer, who was in charge of the pictures, had headaches aplenty. Her job was to plan the pho- tography to fit the alloted space, make shooting ap- pointments, and be sure the finished product would be of interest to the greatest number of students pos- sible. She processed her own pictures on several oc- casions to meet deadlines. The other half of the partnership, Katherine Repp, Pat's co-editor, had her hands full with the copy and continuity used to identify the photogra- phy and tell the complete story when pictures were inadequate. Besides the hard work put out by the editors, Carol Berg, Dianne Shoemaker, Isabelle Wright, Joan Donahue, Pat Kelleher, and the school photog- raphers also played an important part in the pro- duction of this year's annual. The culmination of the hard work and long hours put in on the annual is usually appreciated by the student body. The l954 staff of the Rogers Treasure Chest sincerely hopes that this year's an- nual will be enjoyed and treasured by all who receive it.

Luce Editor-in-Chief, LIFE Time and Life Bldg. New York, N. Y. Dear Mr. Luce: The students at John R. Rogers High School in Spokane, Wash., wish permission to make use of several regular features of LIFE magazine in the for- mat and layout of their l954 yearbook. The book that is being planned calls for a cover similar in design to that of LIFE magazine. A pho- tographic cover will be used that will make use of the red block for the title area high and to the left and a red stripe across the bottom which will carry further information about . . . O The answer to the above letter arrived promptly and certain restrictions were noted by Treasure Chest editors which changed slightly the plan for the book. One was the jag in the red stripe at the bottom. The raised block which carries the price of LIFE could not be used and no word similar to HLIFEH could be placed in a block on the cover. --ED. Dear Pat and Kay: Several members of the senior class, including myself have heard rumors that senior activities are not to be used in the Treasure Chest this year. VVe are circulating a petition among senior stu- dents to determine if they object to having the ac- tivities omitted. If We find that they do We will advise you accordingly and will recommend that you take immediate action regarding the situation. Vince Aguirre O Senior activities were not included in the original plan of the 1954 Treasure Chest because of the style chosen for the book. Due to the demand by the seniors, the activities have been included, beginning on page 136.-ED. COVER SHOT This unusual cover on the 1954 Treasure Chest was the result off much planning and the cooperation of Henry A. Luce, LIFE magazine editor. The picture was taken by Lee Auer. Bill Belton was chosen because he and his pen have cap- tured so many Rogers personalities and moments. Walter E. Doolittle was a natural choice because he has helped more senior classes through their final year than any- one at Rogers High School. Both of them seem to be enjoying the task of presenting Mr. Doolittle in pen and ink. The caricature Bill is drawing in the cover photo is not the one that you find on the back of this book: your Treasure Chest of high school memories for 1954. -
