S. in their daily struggle to obtain ads: and, for the successful auditing of financial requirements of our '56 Year- book.

Unfortunately we were unable to secure pictures, but the articles were con- structive enough to outweigh the setback. Increased interest was noted after the first release, considered to be the warm-up issue. The Senior Class responded immediately to the call for articles, and we were able to put out a more appealing Christmas edition. Mr. Conway, Mr. Pearl, and Mr. Smith all deserve great credit for their fine suggestions and improvements. The staff, and Editor-in chief Art Singer, saw to it that there was always something for everyone in the bi- monthly publication. Besides the essays and editorials, a commendable job was done on sport, election, and forum coverage. This year, it was felt that up-to-date stories . . and headlines would give the reader greater benefits, and increase the interest in writing. For example, the Christmas issue had as its main article, the elections, which had taken place just two days before.
