1930-BLUE AND GOLD Editorial When confronted with the huge task of publishing the HBLUE AND GOLD , our first problem was to decide on a theme. The theme of an Annual, as you probably know, is the same as the theme of a story, a poem, or a playfthe con- trolling thought, which literally Uholds togetherv the various parts or divisions. Finally, aftermany days of deep thought, we hit upon an idea! An Annual has pictures and words, as likewise a newspaper has pictures and words, so why not call it a newspaper? Thus, you have the title of our BLUE AND GOLD1IhC illustrated News , published by the Senior Class of 1930. Before you refer to the Htable of contents , we shall tell you some ofthe high spots of our Annual. You must not miss the calendar, or the jokes and the snaps, for what would an Annual be without these? And the stories and poems, of course, are the best that have ever been published. But why go further? As we know 'you are anxious to peek inside and see for yourselves what the 1930 BLUE AND GOLD is like, we shall detain you no longer, and-we hope you like itl L2 Q33 qi?
