b VWVWW AAMQN P ' l A YHIIHI , ' I V l l ' The Staff. -, Q HIS is the first time that Valley .lnnction High School hlas ever '. tried to publish an annual ot' the school events. ho it oi course means more to the school than any annual hereafter can mean. Its success or failure is due to the diligence or lack of diligence on the part ol' the staff. Tlieretore, we feel that the staff should be connnended for the part it has taken in producing what we feel is a iirst-class annual. The scholars to whom whatever success this annual may have is due especially, are the editor-in-chief, the business manager, and to Edwin Falk. The editor must, of course, supervise the construction of the book and see that every department is well taken care ot. After which he must be prepared to go ahead, and write himself all articles that are yet needed. His range ol' subjects is therefore not restricted to one particu- lar line, but lnust cover the whole school. NVe feel that George Thomp- son has very ably taken care ot' this position. To the business manager is, however, due the real success or failure ol' any publication. It is one thing to write articles and quite another to pay the printing, engraving and other bills. The only way that any busi- ness can be entirely successful therel'ore, is to have a business manager who, by his industriousness, sees to it that the balance between the ex- penditures and the income is maintained. Roland Smith taking up his duties late in the year has proved an excellent business manager. Nobody has put in more hard work and received less recognition lor it publicly, than has Edwin Falk. The artistic part ot' the annual is almost entirely Edwin's work, and it shows real ability. Then too, many of the pictures in the annual have been taken and developed by Edwin without any pay whatsoever. The school is therel'ore deeply indebted to Edwin for his continuous efforts to make Valley have a presentable annual. i -EL
