We especially wish to thank the editor, Margaret Oehlerking, who contributed much of her time in organizing and producing “The 1955 Cardinal.” Margaret was ably assisted by a competent business staff con- sisting of Carolyn Orr, business manager, Wilma Bliven, Mary Crain, Kay Hirsehbach and Lois Lucore. Allen Beermann and George Powell did an excellent job of taking pictures for the annual. Last but not least, we thank Janet Johnson and Miriam Thacker for the many hours they spent in helping Margaret prepare the annual for the press. We are sure that you, the reader, join us in ex- pressing our appreciation for a job well done. Mr. Wight and Mr. Burling Co — sponsors —68—
