PHILIP M. IsAAcs Editor-in-chief THE TRUMBULL TIDE THE LAUREL In order to make up for some of the lacking facili- ties at Fort Trumbull, the Student Council has spon- sored the publication of this yearbook .... The Laurel is not a class book, but rather a pictorial annual, its pur- pose to pictorially record the series of events of a full first year at Trumbull. In order to insure ease of operation a small staff was organized at the beginning. Those uninterested enough to actively take part dropped out. The staff became a small unit of hard working men, interested solely in seeing a good book published for the student body. Unfortunately, the Student Council was not made aware that the students would like a yearbook until early in the second semester. For this reason the work on the book was not begun actually until the first of April. N inety-six pages may seem small to the reader, but the Editors know well enough that they are end- less. For this reason several men stayed a week in June and others until july to see that Trumbullites got their yearbook. The Editor wishes to personally thank Bob Capelle, Bruce Gordon, Graham Chase, Roy Drier, and Dick Payne for their loyalty to the jobg without their aid and invaluable help this book would go unpublished. Russ OWEN. THE TRUMBULL TIDE Our newspaper had its humble beginnings on Tues- day, October 8, 1946, when a large, eager group of future journalists assembled in Mr. Adler's office. The response from the student body was so large that the meeting was moved to the Music Hall. Notices on all the bulletin boards attracted fifty men. What sort of a newspaper is desirable for the Uni- versity? How many men are needed to handle the job? What facilities were available for general production and printing? These were questions raised at the first meeting. The group quickly shaped itself into edi- torial, features, news, sports and business staffs, and in these separate departments temporary chairmen were chosen. The'TIDE had been founded. RUSSELL E. OWEN, JR. Editor-in-chief THE LAUREL
