George Monahan, Joyce Cortland, Art Mandler, and John Christy in an obviously posed propa- ganda shot. Right: Larry Birger, Holmes Braddock, and Kay Mondschein give the sports pages the works. ln spite of a tropical disturbance, high water, and an unend- ing series of missed deadlines, the flurricane consistently hit the newsstands-at least some ol them-every Friday morning. This surprised many people, including the staff. Yes, the staff. The Hurricane was headed both semesters by 'l'om Bottomley, an editor of many whimsies, with George Cor- rigan filling in the year as business manager. Art Roth, managing editor for the first semester, gave over his job to Joyce Cortland in February. Colonel Cortland held down the news spot in the Fall. Holmes Braddock, sports editor during the Fall semes- ter, relinquished the job to Bob Reilly in the Spring. Bob Gelberg, famous for his center page spreads, was features editor lor the hrst half of the year. Copy was handled by George Monahan in the Fall, and when he moved up to the news editor spot, John Christy, a dark horse candidate from the editorial page, took over the copy desk. Left: MacDonald Greer and Lou Becker discuss animal husbandry. Right: Christensen and Roth look for places to insert typos. fs S Stop the Press? No. Joyce just made a solid D on an easy exam.

IBIS '49 Traditionally, the lB1s staff began the year in a state of carefully planned disorganization. Ere long we found our little staff faced with the biggest blank book in history and nothing to fill it. That was when desperation set in, as our first deadline loomed portentiously. Abandoning health, the horses, and love life ftemporarilyj, editor Grace inaugurated a wild picture-taking spree, following his photographers into every nook and cranny of the University. The result was enough pictures to keep the pub- lication going for at least two years. Cherubic Art Mandler was a late addition, in- stalling a speed-graphic, two typewriters, and a desk sign. As Executive editor he handled fine arts and organizations. NVith the deadline a few hours oil Grace and Managing editor Collins hastily laid out the book, while Associate editors, George and Old Reliable Haldenstein tried to decipher copy submitted by fraternity editors XVest and From- hagen. Sports editor Schwartz decided to run for state legislature, and sports layout was the least of his worries. XVith a pensive glance at Hialeah, editor Grace laid out the sports section fit may never recovery. Defeated, Schwartz came back into the fold and did a Hne job on the copy. Haldenstein and George had meanwhile given up on the fraternity layouts after mastering some two dozen specimens of sanskrit. This gave Col- lins another sleepless week as he arduously straightened the section out. 27 Unable to alford a racing form, Editor Art Grace peruses the entries in a boring color guide. Through all of this, Business manager johnson just grinned as he hled contracts in triplicate and chucked his secretaries under the chin. Biggest surprise was the tremendous turnout of the usually reticent seniors for the camera of Lloyd Leklan. These portraits, plus the re- markable photography by joseph Brignolo that graces the beauty sec- tion were the only professional pictures in the book. The remainder of the shutter work was done by students Larry Fried and Bill Moeser. Fried did most of the arty material, in- cluding the kodachromes. Our new faculty adviser, Norman D. Christensen, was soon known affectionately as Uncle Chris. He proved a wonderful person to work for, and with. And finally, sincere thanks to Class editor Dick Goodman, to Joyce Cortland, to Lois Mondres, to the Pred sisters, to Myrna Schlossberg, Art Hoffman, Miles Wisenthal, Bob Dwortzky, Helen George, Fay Schmahl, and Nancy Lefholz for their help. The morning after: Associate editor Austin Haldenstein and Copy editor Tess George. P
