Iris Do you think there'll be an Iris this year? Nope—but maybe a pamphlet, if we're lucky. Hey—where'd you hide the second section? Underneath that mound of coke bottles— look for it!” Yes, most glorious chief. Shaddup! Methinks we've worked enough today. Shall we adjourn for coffee? But we just got here! ----------and so on through many a hard night. The Iris staff met in their comfortable carpet-lined office to work, not only on Monday nights but afternoons and free hours as well. Here they came in contact with other students and gained a knowledge of art. photography, and creative writing. During the informal sessions the versatile members exchanged ideas in lively conversation while they worked. Various organizations and their advantages in relationship to school were discussed and compared. A great deal of credit is due to the photographers who spent many hours working in the dark room as well as taking pictures. The staff has created a record of the year 1948 for you. To those who worked on the book it has special meaning. Editors Wanda Counsell and Mary Due Iris staii Jim Cory with business staff 31 Ted Thompson in the darkroom

Look in the wastebasket, that’s where we file stuff like that. Gotta keep up our standards ya know . . . ! One of the typists hasta leave early tonight, she’s gotta date. Ya? . . . where’d she get it? Hey, Sisley, don’t slop coffee all over that final copy; Worzalla’s has a hard enough time to read it as it is. Wake up Beilke, this headline hasta be changed. The sports editor says POINT LOST” is too blunt. The above quotations are typical of the conversation and hubbub that occurs in the Pointer office every Monday evening as a dozen or more assorted editors, business managers, typists, advisers and beginning devils” prepare the copy for Thursday's issue of the Pointer. The nine hundred students and faculty members who tread the path to the Pointer office ticket window every Thursday for the weekly information sheet little realize the great amount of time, effort, and mental pain that is expended in its production. The Pointer is a leader among the publications at CSTC. (Second only to the Iris—Copy Editor.) We find this an excellent way to express all phases of student opinion.
