Ima ll l E,,IfQ HiEClDE lDllIW.l-'IIIEI DITING andcpublishing a book like this Capitoline is a severe test of metal. Under the stress and strain of constant responsibility every staff that has handled this book in the past has come out generally sadder and always far wiser. ' Especially is this true of the Editor. He begins with rosy dreamsnand high ambitions to make this book better than any previous one. As time goes by, his little pet schemes fade away. He must cut space here, he must save money there. Those whom he thought he could trust turn out to be shirks. His judg- ment is taxed and tested, here, there, and everywhere. He begins to have that oppressed, hunted feeling that comes to young hearts when a burden lies heavy on unaccustomed shoulders. Then after years, it seems, of correcting copy, reading proof, writing and rewriting, the book is out. Everyone pats him on the back and says how much better it is than last year 's. He heaves a thankful sigh, and humbly thinks, Ult isn't any better I know, but I could do it better next time. Glenwright is no exception to the above. He has been through the agony, stuck faithfully by the job, and come out more of a man than when he Went in. The contemplative owl who has fathered four such books as this as faculty advisor congratulates him. But not alone does the editor Hget all the grapes. There's Wayne Staley, circulation manager, Who, in the face of an increase in price, has put over a successful circulation campaign. He got f'cross about it at times but then he did it. The owl extends a flipper to him also. Robert Henne, who stepped into the place left vacant by Stuart Robinson, has proved himself a competent business managerq He has toiled through a long hot summer, and given his best to the book. r Clarence Long, solidly supported by William Whitney, has faced the advertising problem successfully. The other members of the staff, unseen and unthanked, the owl flaps a friendly Wing. It is only proper that the staff extend their thanks to Rosella Halpin who did all the typewriting necessary for the publication of this volume. On the whole 1921 has cut another notch in Springfield 's totem pole, with this year 's Capitoline. :i'li' -ll'l 'q r-1,la un: Page ten
