The editors had the assistance, in both work and fun, of such underclassmen as Kathleen Quigley. Phyllis Maurer, Evelyn Sexton. Nancy Rigler. Mary Goep-fert, and Pat Mortenson. Helping editor-in-chief Jean Scammon crack the whip over the rest of the Board was Mrs. Claude Merideth. sponsor of the Sponsors. BISBILA—STANDING: Spaeth, Koenig, Undine, McKay, Mr». Mcndcth.

Chief cameramen Garrett Gruner, president of the Camera Club, and Jack Page, vice-president, were often seen wandering about the halls, cameras in hand. They were helped with their administrative duties during the year by Secretary Jesness. and Treasurer Hetfield. Club meetings were spent in discussions of photo- graphic problems. A special dark room staff handled most of the technical work on pictures for other school organizations. The personnel of other sideshows are indebted to the Circus Photographers and their adviser. Mr. Duard Laging, for pictures of school events. The big show of the year for the Camera Club itself was the presentation of a salon in which the work of each member was exhibited.

Jla+uhf+ne+t The crew of circus handymen was bigger and more enthusiastic this year than ever before. These volunteer members of the Library Board performed many jobs such as shelving, arranging periodicals, charging books, keeping records of reserve books, and sending out the daily reminders of overdue books. In this way they gave valuable assistance to the director of the handymen. Librarian Jean Gardiner Smith, at the same time that they learned how a library operates. Other students and faculty appreciated their service, and realized that their co-operation and efficiency made them a great asset to the circus. 30
