FUEUPIEIII EDITOR Edward T. Chowaniec eff .1-fs 5 SPORTS SECTION M Nosak J Urban J Budz The 1952 PROCOPIAN staff, headed by Editor Edward Chowaniec, early in the year set itself a goal-an Annual that would be truly representative of the 1951-1952 scholastic year. It was to recall the victories together with the defeats, the laugh and the tear, the scholar and the athlete. But it would not suffice to simply record the events. This must be done in a surpassing manner, organized and unified, and presenetd in an attractive and inviting book. The staff necessarily built upon the memorable events of the year, yet it found room for many of those informal moments that warm the heart when they are recalled. The Ordinand and Graduate especially were emphasized, since they are the noble result ot much of the institutions activity. But the Athlete, too, and the activity seeker will find their contributions to the educational program included The design and presentation of the Annual was to reflect the maturing status of the Procopian as an accepted campus activity. By a lavish use of color and illustration, the staff was able to discharge its duties in a most dramatic way. The exclusive aerial view, which forms the end-sheets of the volume, is typical of the originality and technique which characterize the 1952 Procoptian. An important phase in the successful promotion of the 1952 Procopian was ex- citing student interest in the annual. Since the book had been published for several years. it bc-gan to be taken for granted. To encourage subscriptions and the soliciting of advertising. the staff employed posters. a contest. and made use of the regular student assemblies. ln a great measure, even the financial support of the book is due to the earnest and zealous efforts of the Procopian business managers. Xwilliam Hagstrom, and Richard Kreil. The staff will feel it has done its work well if. as often as you study the pages of the 1952 Procopian. you will be moved to say-YHA great year, at a great school.
