Till! IIIIIIIITII III' 1 YEAR IttlIIk It all began around a bridge table. Even the dummy was smart enough to notice that we were trumping our partner's aces, freely discarding kings and queens, carelessly reneging, and in general, playing in a manner which would have given our bridge instructors a case of acute indigestion; and it would not have been difficult to conclude, consequently, that the players were rather preoccupied. Verily, our minds were a thousand miles away from that fateful game. Suddenly, someone put into words that which had been in all our minds, We should and could have individual annuals this year, and I wish we would. Following this passionate and impressive declaration, not a coherent word was uttered all evening. We were absolutely burning with enthusiasm and hastily made countless lists of everything that popped into our heads. Through the thick fog of confusion we clearly perceived, however, that our first step was to secure the School's blessings upon our brain-child; in view of which realization we dedicated our time and energy to the composition of an elaborate speech in which we were prepared to say that the customary La Reala, previously a compilation of School history in pictures, stories, and reports, bound and bequeathed to the Library, was nice, but that we could not all very well exhibit it with pride to our grandchildren and say, This is where I went to school. The next morning, still firmly resolute in our purpose, we found ourselves in Miss Lee’s office. We had hardly begun our well-planned oration on Why We Should Have Annuals when Miss Lee voiced her hearty approval and completed our sales talk with the identical reasons that we had so intended to stress. Imagine our boundless ecstacy! But—there were provisions! Money must be in hand, from sales and from advertisements. There never had been any dispute as to whether we should have separate annuals, and we now knew definitely that we could; there remained only to see if we would. Step number two was to sell a hundred copies of La Reala to the student body. We tied red strings around the fingers of each person who forgot to bring the necessary $3.50, as a reminder to bring it tomor- row,” and eventually succeeded in selling the desired amount of Year Books, which just shows what perse- verance and determination can do. So far, so good. We then gave various local establishments the privilege of advertising. Our efforts along this line were pathetically amusing, but, oddly enough, successful. The first large ad made us almost hysterical with joy, and we ran about congratulating each other for days. There were other days, however, when we seemed to have lost our Midas touch. Meanwhile, at the slightest provocation we would race to Miss Marion Johnson for advice. Although our visits became steadily more frequent she resisted the temptation to lock her door, and, instead, always patiently answered our questions and generously offered suggestions. We are indebted to Miss Johnson, not only for her material assistance but for the spiritual uplift that she gave our weary staff as well. Near the last of March we staggered into the office of our printers. Wearily, but triumphantly, we gently placed a disorderly object, the dummy of La Reala. on the desk. It seemed certain, at last, that we would have a hundred Year Books instead of one. Sometime between the day that the idea was conceived and the day when we handed in the dummy an important discovery was made: Annuals do not put themselves together, but entail much hard work and concentration. We could not order a bright sun for our pictures, and despite our fervid pleas the essays and poems did not pile up into a very overwhelming stack. Proof had to be read; material assembled; pictures drawn. After all that we’ve been through, the staff of La Reala. solemnly vows vengeance upon anyone who flippantly glances through these pages and does not carefully study every word! 8
