 ‘BUFFALOG Jr With Anthony Raggio, selected editor of The Buffalog, taking over the editorship of this issue, the rest of the staff were those who have served on The Technician this year, with the addition of the following members of the senior class: Gladys Darche and Avonne Etter, circulation; Joe Garcia and Felix Fraga, art; Geraldine Dromgoole, Buffalog business manager. Technician-Buffalog Staffs a eui encje to ettiels SENIORS of '41! What does a year-book mean to you? To the class of '40 it means a great deal—it is a living history in pictures and words, com taining our joys, our sorrows, our failures and successes. More than a collection of memoirs, it is a record of the three best years of our lives. In the past, staffs of The Technician have issued several beautiful, lasting an' nuals, considering it a pleasure and responsibility. But the school has grown so in size and its demands that those boys and girls have asked the Senior Class to take over this man-sized job of publishing the book. It takes a separate staff and sponsor who can devote full time to its production. We, of the Class of 1940, present The Buffalog Jr., which was issued by the combined staffs of The Technician and The Buffalog to record as accurately as possible, under the circumstances, a history of the school year, 1939-40. May this publication stand as a challenge to next year’s seniors to appoint at their very first meeting a sponsor and staff to begin immediate work on plans and details for a real Buffalog. One hard-working ad solicitor expressed the complete sentiments of the staff with his statement: “We of the class of 1940 present the Buffalog Jr. We’ll be looking for the real McCoy The Buffalog Sr.’ in 1941.” lCei2| the m files 3ulttin(j IT IS SAID that “too many cooks spoil the broth.” Well, too many editorial writers writing on the same subject do not help the editorial very much either. One reads column after column about a gym. Students and teachers of Tech are all familiar with the reasons why Tech needs and should have a gym, but in order to accomplish our feat we, who are interested and who know the facts, must keep the gym fires kindled and continue the job of keeping people informed of Tech’s greatest necessity and want. The fire was started by The Technician in 1932 and since then it has been relighted from time to time. Since it was begun it has brought warmth, light and results in many ways. Before we can cook we must have a fire. If we keep the Gym fire burning, we might cook up a gym. Page 20 liir-
