To give you an idea of how this book was put together, let us look back over the year to the activities of various members of the staff. First of all, early last fall the advertising committee had their workout. Not only did they canvass the businessmen of Sheridan, but as you will notice from the ad section, they also covered many surrounding towns. After the pictures had been taken, they were mounted by the editor and sent to the engraving company. During this time the snapshot committee had been collecting the snapshots which they now mounted. Around December the sales committee began taking orders for the annual, continuing to do so for several weeks. For sometime the art committee had been working on the unique drawings appearing in this book. ln Ianuary, it was time to begin to Write the copy which must ac- company the pictures and tell the story of the activities at school during the L50-'51 year. The joke editors handed in their humorous quips which they had been collecting over the year and the sports editors provided the data on the athletic activities and achieve- ments which have taken place this year. The typists took over then by typing and retyping all the material. The last material to be turned in was the calendar, which had been kept by a com- mittee who had been busy recording the momentous events which occur to a busy Senior class. The main responsibility of organizing the Syllabus fell to the editors andthe business manager. The business manager had to see that money was collected, bills were paid, and that they kept within the budget which was set up at the beginning of the year, allowing a certain amount for engraving, printing, binding, covers, and other expenses. A constant threat to the editors' peace of mind has been the meeting of deadlines. Besides rushing to get their work completed, committees had to be spurred on so as to meet a deadline with the engraving, printing, and binding companies- Much time, effort, and forethought by the annual staff has been put into this book of which we hope you are all proud.

Ieffrey Scudder, Martin Little, Kaye's child-hood sweetheart, and his uncle, Cyrus Scudder, Wiley Sanders, are not happy about the aristocratic Campbell's visit.
