The following are the good points as mentioned by the judge: The Peanut is an outstanding yearbook and generally is to be commended for its rounded picture of school life. The cover is hand¬ some, and the theme based on organizations of the federal government is excellent. The effect of the red over prints on the black type is good. The calendar in the form of ink sketches is well-posed, and you are to be congratulated for care in identifying your ‘Senior Parade.’ The informal picture of your dedicatee is superb. Among the weaknesses are these: some of the group pictures were not identified; sched¬ ules and scores of the basketball teams should have been added; anti not all pictures in the snapshot layout are clear.” 1946 Staff Chosen by Editors and Sponsors On September 19, 1945, the co-editors of the Peanut, Betty Dixon and Nancy Alberts, met with their sponsors to draw up the staff for the 1946 edition.
