f ,af-fr PRESSES ROLL As another year of journalistic endeavors comes to a close, the yearbook layouts and the file of news- papers are looked upon fondly by staff members as the fulfillment of the year's objectives. But the achievement is not all in the publications. A greater achievement is inside the heads and per- haps the hearts of the staff members. The real mea- sure of achievement is the extent to which our editors and writers have gained knowledge and understanding from the publications they produced. The standard is not fine typography, excellent photography, striking headlines, and balanced layoutsg but rather the extent to which our journalists have thought, prayed, and loved, thus producing more accurate and effective publications. :W -4, J f j ang' i--f-,Rl UKSZW' - ' f., Q ,W .1 Msg. .
