Building for To-morrow BUSINESS STAFF ln order to conceive a yearbook worthy to carry out the gigantic theme of the New York World's Fair, sufficient financial returns were needed to secure the finest material possible. Our business manager, Robert Galvin, with the aid of Marjorie Keenan and Mary Slocum, made a thorough survey of the city, using their high-powered salesmanship and personality to secure the good will and cooperation of our merchants. Everywhere they went they were met with kindness and consideration, and with the desired result, our book was financially safe and well on the way to completion. Since we are giving honor where honor is due, we should extend our thanks to the typists: Yvonne Burns and Mary McAuliff, who spent untiring hours typing and retyping captions and salu- tations. To all other members of the business staff we extend our heartfelt thanks. The Worldfs Fair to be a success needed the cooperation of the countries of the world, the Per Annes likewise needed- the cooperation of the staffs and the merchants. Through the com- bined efforts of the staff and of the merchants of Cortland the yearbook was completed, and we hope successfully!

The Literary Staff, which includes the Art Staff, realizing the magnitude and the responsibility of its position, undertook the task of making captions, revising copies, and specifically carrying out the definite yearbook theme with the feeling of confidence and assurance. Qnce the plan of the yearbook was formed, inspiration and enthusiasm helped to evolve the book from but a single thought, the theme. As the days of lune loomed near the horizon, the height of feverish preparation was reached. Numerous conferences among the copywriters and our art editors were held to correlate as much as possible the editorial content with the art project. Everything had to be par excellence to be worthy of the l'Youth of Tomorrow , the educational life of today had to be amply and efficiently portrayed for them. Always keeping that thought as an incentive the Staff labored untiringly and steadfastly to make the fifth volume of the Per Annos , the finest. May their work be successful, may their success be triumphant!
