EDIOTORIAI. The janitor used to ask the E1 Gabilan Staff, when he came around to close up and found us still busy, whether the work and worry of it all was worth it. We always wiped the hounded expres- sions off our faces and told him yes, more than worth it. And we meant it. We have our memories and our experience. For long weeks we work- ed, through school and vacation alike. The high-school door mouthed our passkey every morning. We spent long silent hours of cutting articles, identifying ads, copy reading, counting ads, hacking blockprints. The only sound was ,tliepdropping of linoleum chips and grades. The only recreation was playing ball on the roof and wishing to go fishing. But a day with a pole and a can of bait remained a phantom. The work went on. Spending a thousand dollars wisely has its responsibilities. El Gabilan is far from all fun. It it mostly all work. It has a way of detracting from studies that worries the teachers. It leaves printer's ink stains that are almost irremovable. It curtails the sleep and ruins the appetite. It adds lines to the brow and a stoop to the walk. But no mat- ter what it does, it is more than worth it. For the sake of the friends, the fun, the experience, and the satisfaction that El Gabilan gives, no price in grades and time is too much. We say that for the benefit of the janitor. But we have a feeling that he'll remember all the times that he had to haul wheelbarrow loads of linoleum chips out of our office. At the present time the El Gabilan Staff intends to go fishing for a month or two. The El Gabilan Staff has been editor, Marguerite Hayward 5 business manager, Berneth Layer, assistant editor, Richard McCollum, assistant business manager, Albert Barding senior editor. Lucien Caillaug club editor, Lucille Andersen, ' J. C. editors, Charles Burgman and Nora Belle Lichtyg art editor, Janice Lemony boys' sports editor, Stanley Parker, girls' sports editor, June I ' N si u Rhodes, humor editor, Arlene Walker, class editor, June Abe, alumni editor, Mary Williams, snap editor, Winston Nelson. Pauline Benson was literary editor, but re- signed because of low merit-point record. - Lois Hile rates a very honorable mention for the small blockprints used in the book. El Gabilan also thanks Madeleine Lowell and Hede Kubota. 270
