DEDICATION Morley Jennings The weather outside was somewhat cloudy and cool, but inside the Men ' s Physical Education Building there was a sudden surge of warmth as a strange parade of administrators, photog- raphers and newsmen walked in on a departmental staff meeting one Friday afternoon. The contingent was led by two stu- dents carrying a rather large object in a paper bag. As they advanced to the front of the room. Dr. Ramon Waller KireiUs, head of the department, va- cated his post as the director of the meeting and turned it over to the two students. Diane Weddige and Winston Odom, co-editors of the 1966 La Ventana, Morley Jennings received the formal dedi- cation of the yearbook for his contributions to Tech athletics and physical education. then proceeded with the program — the dedication of the yearbook to William Morley Jennings, professor of health, physical education, and recreation for men at Tech since 1941. Jennings came to Tech from the posi- tion of head coach and athletic director at Baylor where he started in 1926. Miss Weddige said of the dedication, It is only fitting that we make this dedication during the . 1965-66 school year, for it was during this year that he brought honor to himself and Texas Tech. In November 1965 he was in- ducted into the Helms Athletic Founda- tion Hall of Fame for his achievements in the field of athletics. This year he is also celebrating his 50th wedding anni- versary and his 76th birthday. At the end of the summer session, he will re- tire after 54 years as coach and pro- fessor but not as an athlete. Besides serving three colleges during his lifetime, he has been a member of the Rotary club 40 years, he served as a member of the City Commissions of Waco from 1939-41. And from 1933-36 he was a member of the National Foot- ball Rules Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Dr. Kireilis and President R. C. Goodwin both praised Jennings at the dedication. Jennings said upon receiving a pic- ture of Tyme Magazine cover for the annual, To say I ' m grateful is to ex- press it mildly. I certainly thank you . . . deeply. 1 JENNINGS WAITS FOR THE SURPRISE !«»■ WINSTON ODOM, MORLEY JENNINGS, MRS.

DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS Phil Orman DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY Cal Wayne Moore k I SECRETARY Jean Finley A Letter From the PUBLISHER Ask a top notch chef what goes into a fine sauce and chances are he will tell you to add a dash of this, a pinch of that, a spoon of this or a sprinkle of that. These are terms that people use who have experience and knowl- edge in cooking, but fail to write down their recipes. Applying these terms to the year- book would not be a difficult task at all. First you take a dash of school spirit, add a pinch of history, throw in a spoonful of great pictures, and then add a sprinkle of good interesting copy and cook well. The only ingre- dient left out would be hard work by a large group of students to begin with and a smaller group at the end. Did you ever stop to think what goes into the making of a yearbook and what goes into making a yearbook designed like La Ventana. Would you believe that at least 16 people spent about 20 hours a week working on Tech ' s latest edition of a great history. Add to this about 16 more volunteers who put in about 6 hours a week just helping where they can and you can see that this book you are now reading means a lot of things to a lot of people. Breaking down the recipe for La Ventana would not be a simple task, but I will try to do it for you. Photog- raphy: This portion of the crew shot 14,400 black and white pictures this year to get the number of pictures you see in the yearbook. In addition to this there were more than 8,000 class pictures taken and an additional 3,CKX) plus other individual pictures used in the book. Top this off with 250 color shots to get the covers and the beauties and you have the work done by the photography department. But if you figured all the pictures used in the book as being taken at 1 100 of a second, we only recorded 2.4 minutes of time in the yearbook. The next simple task is to find out what each group on campus does, go to each of the sporting events to keep a tab on them, attend all other activi- ties on the campus to make sure they are recorded and then the simple task of writing the story on each of these in such a manner as to make them interesting for you to read. Simple task isn ' t it? The next step is also simple. Just take the pictures and the copy and put them together in an interesting layout so that your club, group or function will be pleased with what they see, and yearbook judges in far off places will also be pleased. The lay- outs must conform to good magazine principles. Nothing to it, real snap course. This really should be all there is to it, but you have to add the little things like calling people to remind them to come have their pictures made or to let us know when something is going to take place or to come over and sign for pages or to come over and pay bills and on and on. But mind you, this is not a gripe session for the staffers of La Ventana, the only griping they do is among themselves for being behind or at me for working them too hard. They don ' t gripe at all the work, for the simple reason that you stop them on the street, in the halls or in the classroom and say that you like it. But you say that you like it in the way that it really counts, you buy the book. You buy it in such nimibers that La Ventana ranks in the top ten in the nation. More than 10,000 of you bought your little piece of history and for this we thank you. Phil Orman INDEX Cover Story ...
