GALE, SHIELDS, KIMMEL HAinoi To the Dictionary, the halcyon is a legen- dary bird of peace; to Swarthmorians, it stands as a symbol of carefree college days. Mid hovering priorities and soaring prices the calm bird was forced to accelerate. In- clusion of lowly Sophomores in the time hon- ored rogues gallery was an abject surrender. More harried than their also harried predeces- sors, this year ' s staff jumped new hurdles in their lengthened stride. All underwent the hair-raising sessions with editor Dave Gale con- cerning techniques involved in persuading about-to-be-drafted sophomore try-outs to hand in assignments. Jane Stern and Brud Don- nelly wrestled with undergraduates ' unaltered disinclination to watch the birdie. Bare White ' s suave business sense produced the needed ads and the innovated art staff func- tioned smoothly under Paul Hare. Literary assignments shunted merrily between Bill Mc- Laughlin, Penny Shields, Ruth Shepard, Jean Kean, and Walt Scheiber, while Joe Kimmel and Sue Mellet handled the production depart- ment. All questions and requests were met with a polite air of attention and the blithe promise, We ' ll see what can be done. Here ' s the re- sult. WHITE 16

And so in retrospect we see that perhaps the changes have not been so great. The physical manifestations and outward forms are definite- ly 1943, but our spirit and purpose this year are not so far removed from those of 1864. The fundamental thing is the Swarthmore outlook and the Swarthmore way of life and these owe much to tradition and to the precedents of the past. BEAT HAVERFORL) HOMECOMING COLLiiCTION
