BETITA MARTINEZ, Editor Mosey Frohman, Production Manager, covered the nasty details, like letters to servicennen. Getting junior write-ups meant assiduous beating on people but with the help of Rosemary Accola and Jean Kistler, Literary Editor Jean Thompson produced the goods. Sallie Demond coped with all sports write-ups. When hHugh Edgerton left last summer and John Wilkinson departed for Midshipman School in March, the picture situation looked pretty grim. But Warren Jacobs stepped in, and with Ronnie Landon ' s help finished up the most gruelling job of all.

n livlemonam: 19 4 4-45 Because college classes , like new cars and nylons, have passed from the contemporary scene, this year ' s Halcyon could never repre- sent the class of ' 46 whose name it bears. Instead it is the record of a year — June, 1944, to June, 1945, and all that happened in those months. Summer, fall, winer, spring, and what they held — it is ail here. Those days, we believe, have been exciting and are worth remembering. Having a Photographic Editor, and especially, having Verdi Hoag, was a very successful experiment this year, and took a big load off editorial shoulders. Ex-Photographer ' s Mate Johnny Wilkinson took the pictures she scheduled and definitely justified his former naval rating. The cartooning hand of Paul Seabury decorated the pages of another Halcyon this year, giving it that unmistakable touch once again. Moo Dutton scraped up ads, while Jane Topping sold subscriptions.
