ST. PALIIJS RECORD For the past io years the St. Pauls Record has been the ollicial publication ol the school. Belore it came into existence, the Chevron and the St. Paul's Life were the two periodicals published by the students. The lormer was discontinued a lew years belore the turn ol the century, while the latter was replaced by the Record in 1018. Under the invaluable guidance ol the faculty ad- viser, Mr. lflwyn Ellis, the stall, comprised ol news reporters, sports reporters, photographers, and those interested in business, headlines, and makeup, is able to put together ten times during the school year a lour page paper consisting ol news of special interest to the students, the faculty, and the alumni. ln addition to the usual news of sports and general occurrences around St. Paul's, the Record has several columns which have proven to be very popular be- cause ol their humor and interesting sidelights. Such columns are Saints and Sinners, a humorous expose ol student deeds and mis-deeds, and the Seniors ol the XX'eek, an inside view ol members ol the Sixth Form. Other columns appearing are till Years Ago, Did You Know, Alumni News, and the editorials. At the appearance ol each issue, the circulation stall sends out copies to the more than SU schools with which we exchange papers. From these papers interesting lacts can be gleaned and used in the Rec- ord. Each year the New York Times holds a clinic lor preparatory school editors. From this clinic, valu- able information concerning the presentation ol news and the symmetry ol newspaper columns can be ac- quired and pllt to use to make our school publication easier to read and tnore interesting. The maiority ol the members ol the stall have done an excellent iob this year in keeping their work ol the highest quality, in sending the Record out to its many subscribers, and in acquiring the ads necessary to linance part ol the publication of the paper. ln keeping the Record at a high level ol excellence both in content and in appearance, Mr. Ellis, our adviser, deserves the thanks ol the stall. lfditor-in-chief ol' this year's Record was Paul Kline- dinst. lle was assisted by managing editor james Levy, assignment editor Robert Cron, sports editor Frederick Stutzmann, business manager Thomas Niac- lnnes, circulation editor llric XVeaver, and photo- graphic editor Peter deManio. Special mention lor line services rendered should also be made to Burt Angrist, Henry llol, Charles Vanderlrlill, Peter de- Manio, Eric Weatfer, Donald Kittell, and Stan Lomax. At the end ol the season the Record stall is re- warded with a line steak dinner at Rothmannls, and those members ol the stall who have served lor two or more years are rewarded with silver or gold Rec- ord keys.

The puhlication of the seventeenth annttal Sigillum is the most costly of any Sigillums yet undertaken, hut, this senior class really went to work and eventually met the cost with plenty to spare. ln the heginning of the year there were several things which had to he done. lfarly in Qctoher the class elected Paul Klinedinst as editor, james Levy as husiness manager, and Peter deNlanio as photographic editor, Their ioh was a tremendous one. But, even greater was the task ol the faculty adviser, Mr. El- wyn lfllis, who had to teach these hoys the ropes and correct the various articles, To him we owe the deepest cleht ot gratitude, As soon as the Slgillum correspondence paper ar- rived, husiness manager Levy went to work and wrote to evervone's parents a letter, asking each to hecome a patron. Ile also wrote to many business tirms to solicit advertisements. The next joh was for the seniors to potmd the pavements which led to many husiness establishments to inquire whether that lirm wanted to place an advertisement in the Sigillum. Special recog- nition for this work goes to Michael Pollina, lfric l'tttie'Fo1tvfsix XVeaver, Rohert Cron, Burton Angrist, and Lionel Halley. Wfhile this outside work was heing done, editor Klinedinst was husy laying otit the dummy to de- termine the length of the articles, the size ot the picA tures, and those seniors who should write each article. To them goes special credit lor relieving the editor of some of his more onerous tasks. Photographic editor lJe,X'lanio, meanwhile, was also at work taking candids of the various athletic contests, individual students, and activities ot common interest. Finally, when all the stories were in and typed and when all the minor details were ironed out with Nlr. Nick lckes, the representative of the Colyer-Roux Printing Company, the manuscript was sent to press. Only the pictures ol the spring sports remained to he taken, and, when these were taken, they were imme- diately sent to the puhlishers. lfventually the galleys arrived and were proof read. Soon the dummy was pasted tip and sent hack tor the linal rtin through the presses. At long last the finished prodtict, the 1054 Sigillum, arrived. It has heen the work ot the entire senior class, XVe hope it meets with your approval. Again, our many thanks to Nlr. lfllis for his en- couragement and untiring elliorts to make this Sigillum the success we hope it is.
