Co-editors of the GLEAM, Jonnie Weatherford and Charlie Jordan, are introducing the play, Long Live the King , which was put on at the beginning of the subscription campaign for the 1961 GLEAM. In reference to the GLEAM,S having just been notiiied of its top rating in both National and State yearbook contests, this yearis subscription campaign was kicked offv with a dramatic assembly program at which King GLEAM,, was crowned and then presented various em- blems of award by princes and princesses gathered around his throne. In the midst of all this acclaim, word came that the villain, Krookself of Mosbullf was trying to destroy the King. Hunted and found by guards, the enemy dashed across the stage, down the aisle, and then 'gBOOMl',, blew himself up with his own at'em, Bum. The play was climaxed by shouts of, Long live the King! Long live King GLEAMl,, The GLEAM pep song followed. In the two-weeks campaign that followed, over 700 subscriptions to the 1961 yearbook were secured. Each copy cost 35.00, an amount that most subscribers paid in two equal payments, one in September and the other in February. To take care of extra needs, 750 GLEAMS were ordered. The subscription taking had been pre- ceded by an ad-selling campaign, in which more picture ads were sold than in any previous year. Ad prices ranged from 88.00 to 85000. In the late summer and early fall, the GLEAM was represented at three yearbook conventions, to two of which delegates from the staff were sent.

Peter Berry, senior associate editor of the GLEAM, was elected president of the SCYA at this time. In the spring, after the 1961 volume had been put to bedf' plans were carried out for the formation of the 1962 GLEAM staff. Members of the student body who met high qualifications were given application forms. They had to have a general average of 85 or better, be recommended by a member of the faculty for depend- ability, conduct, and effort, and give reasons for wanting to be on the staff. About 150 applications were made. From these, 45 were chosen by a committee from the staff, approved by the adviser. As a climax to the year, the staff had a patio party at Juxa, the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon May, on the afternoon of GLEAM Day, the day the book was circulated. Hamburgers, potato chips, salad, ice cream, and soft drinks were enjoyed.
