We admire him because he matches his actions to his ideals. He has served indepenf dence of thought by keeping Vassar's community open to the discussion of Widely divergent opinionsg his leadership started the movement to help refugee scholars. Although the scope of his interests is infinitely large, none of our scholastic problems has been too small to receive his attention. He taught us to sport the oak with yellow signs, and to record the pasf sage of our time in bright red books. We shall remember, too, how delightf fully he entertained us: he read to us, sang to us, and danced for us. When vve departed, he smiled and gave us his blessing.

Whzit else they were made up of it is nohody's business to sayg certainly they themf selves were not, for the moment, conf scious of more than hehaggaged hewilf derment. An alertflooking man with a whistle stood outside the gate, When he saw innocence and idealism he wafted them toward the long row of white skirts within, l-le recognized aging, aged, and jaded innocence as soon as he saw them, and he wafted them not inward to the receiving line, hut merely inward.

Wheii the prelimif nary hellofscreaming and paperfsigning were done vvith, the people who had entered Taylor Gate looked at their rooms and sighed. They relaxed on their vvindovvsills and sighed again. Then they hurried to the Furniture Exchange to test chairfsprings. When they found what they Wanted they carried it off on their shoulders triumf phantly. When they didn't they Went to Luckey's or Wallace's. In one way or another, they all settled their furniture problems. Then, feeling Weary hut satisfied, they dressed in white like little angels, and proceeded to the mass meeting in Studentsf That is, all except those naughty girls who went to the movies during, not after, the great college events. Those girls missed the singing and the speeches, missed the great onefness that was Vassar that evening. Wheii the meeting was over, the naughty ones sat in the drugstore, THE PUB Wy. 9 .Yi 6 I-i X evil indistinguishable from good, drinkf ing OocafOola and contributing to the roar. The next day theoretically belonged to the Lord. But a sound of the hammerf ing of tacks prevailed, the secular busif ness of interior decoration demanded almost the whole soul. There was a substratum of contemplation, however. Some people realized, with surprise, that there was a great deal more to this life than mere studying. Their minds linf gered over drama and politics, station wagons and swimming pools, regulaf tions and ThefPlacefoffthefIndividualf infthefGroup. Others thought there was a lot more to this life than participation in associations, churches, newspapers and magazines. The Seniors thought of Convocation and got their academic regalia out of storage. They pinned up their gowns or let them down, accordf ing to need, and they talked about this new costume. The Juniors and Sophof mores and Freshmen asked, How does it feel to be wearing a cap and gown? Some Seniors adored the sense of dignity it gave them. C. MILDRED THOMPSON, DEAN ELEANOR C. DODGE, WARDEN 12 l ,lumwmw ' CONVOCATION A few said, Frankly, I hate it. A Very few said, Frankly, I haven't tried mine on yet. And, he it said frankly, there were a few gowns which still needed adjustment when the prof cession to the chapel finally got under way. Convocation again marked the beginf ning of an academic year. Two by two, the hlackfrobed seniors entered the chapel, all eyes upon them. The juniors and sophomores smiled as their friends passed down the aisle. The freshmen peered into the passing faces, thought them old and drab, wondered whether they, too, could last so long. Two by two, the colorful and mighty faculty paraded to their seats. Upperfclassmen looked for their friends, smiled to see the tall walking with the short. The Freshmen just looked at the velvet stripes and the gold tassels and won' dered whom they'd get. The procession seemed endless, the possibilities inf finite. The convocated heard themf selves welcomed. f'Gaudeamus igitur! The year had begun. FASHIONS FIRST HOUR Having had no lessons to prepare and no papers to write, the students should have looked as fresh as proverbial daisies. The black gowns sprinkled about in some of the first classes gave them a forbidding competitive look for the Freshmen, Sophomores and -Iuniors. The Seniors looked around to see how much Phi Bete material they were up against. Wheii the professors came in, the Freshmen discovered whom they had got, or who had got them. Book orders were filled ing work was outlined. The worried and distressed, yellow cards in hand, waited in line outside the Recorder's oflice for the privilege of complaining about their schedules. People screamed to their friends across the quad, I have no classes all day Friday! Then began the rush to the Service building, the book exchange, and the library, followed by an even greater rush to the coke and the comf modity bun.

Tl-IE UROE to OROANIZE1 The various organizations introduced at the mass meeting resumed their adf vertised activities. None was more active or better publicized than Polit, which found much to talk about in this particular year. The bulletin boards in Main bristled with demonstrations of the sad state of the World, and espef cially of the South, on Whose social and economic conditions the annual Polit conference centered. Posters and photo' graphs invaded even the Retreat. It was not long before the Vassar Drive entered the stream of our social consciousness. Collectors made the rounds at ninefthirty, and left pledge 16 slips. Robin Hood, a man entirely unf related to Errol Flynn, took his stand quite publicly at the north end of Main. He arrested at least the glances of passersfby between the Mail and Rocky, and plainly pointed out both his take and his demands. 4,-az 'Q-our' ffwp Qi! , . ,Q x ', 'Q ,, W 5 ' N ff . , 2 .

Soph Party outdid itself in caricaturing life at Vassar as a freshman first meets it. The members ot' the audience relived the dawn of their own experience at Vassar, viewing syrnpaf thetically the struggle of' Phoebe the Freshman, her tribulations with angel robes at the gymnasium, with scales at the doctor's ofhce, and with the card catalogue at the library.

The audience was receptive, horrified, and dumbfounded. After so many killings, dancing with normal nonfhomicidals was a great ref lief. We appreciated Philaletheis and our membership in it. We knew we belonged and we decided to become active, to build a set, collect some props, or maybe swing spotlights for its next performance. A.A.

You have no doubt heard about the increase in Vassar girls' waist and ankle measures since 1880, or whenever it was that the gym department became inf terested in such vital statistics. Well, here on these pages you have one of the causes. Athletics . . .how we love them, some of us. The seniors were the first class to have been exonerated, after only a twof year period of trial, error and fundaf mentals. Swimmingfcutters, basketballf cutters, nonfqualified bowlers and archf ers, and badminton reluctants rejoiced, but there were those who struggled on. There are those, as you see, who are willing, even eager. The Cuting Club station wagon, that gladsome vehicle, bears them about the countryside on weekfends. They are seen to leave, their 20 yellow chariot laden with skiis. They are seen to return, sometimes a trifle wearily, but always with a rugged glow which bespeaks good health, good times, and great good stamina. The wagf goners are a minority, and their waggoning cannot be enjoyed forever. On weekfdays, therefore, they and others of athletic persuasion stride about campus clutching hockey sticks, or float in that nebulous vessel, the Vassar yacht, which is said, but never seen, to sail upon the Hudson. Those who relish cold water in November and bef 4:40. FUND.-X MIENTALS yond, celebrate their exuberance with ceremonies like Swupper, which begins in the pool and ends with sandwiches in the game room. The OutingfClubbers, the yachtsf women and the Swuppers have already been through the cocoon stz1ge.Working backwards in their developmental hisf tory, we find that they all originated as very new and unfundamentalized fresh' men. Even as the least of us, they had to blow into the lung capacity machine, and take motorfability tests. They took A SVVUPPER swimming tests too, and no fooling about it. She who cannot swim, must, at least diplomatically, sink. Unless, of course, she can develop a sinus complaint. , 'Na 21 The fall of IQBQ will be remembered as the season of the little red books which proved that seniors Work less than anybody else. We kept those records early in the year, before the seminars became very serious. Once caught in the toils of their theses, many seniors were completely campusfbound.

Lots of New Englanders refused to accept the President's arrangement, 24 hut Vassar College followed him loyf ally, The student body was less pleased with the Calendar Days, hut there, too, we tagged along. Christmas seemed more distant, than, in former years, it had appeared to he, but it came at last, and with all its usual harhingers. The postoflice was overwhelmed with packf ages coming and going, the Bookstore with orders for Sandburg's Abraham Lmcohi to he sent to our fathers. Christf mas seals came through the mail from the Dutchess County Health Associaf tion. There was a party at Lincoln Center and, here on campus, the children sang around our tree.

The Germanfspeaking wise men went baref foot in chapel and the ltalian Club's angels shivered over in Kenyon where a black f robed Santa distributed good things among the faculty children. The choir carolled with dignity in the chapel and with glee from the tower of the library. Before, after, and throughf out their song, however, many students were at work, typing, with mad energy, lastfminute papers and topics. When the last paper was in the unstamped, everybody went home. XVe went in peace, but we sought no angelic hosts, no redfclad fat men with long white beards. Our concern with stockings was wholly for the seamline, our concern for Christmas for a good time.

THE CONTILMI ORARY - - i'1 PRESS Even after a good vacation, the winf ter seemed no warmer in Poughkeepsie. Thinking to reform, we resumed our daily race with the clock. In spite of our resolutions about early rising, eightften was still the crack of dawn, and, five minutes later, we were, as usual, stumf bling towards our maltex and bacon, unwashed, uncombed, and buttoning our cardigans. We perused the morning newspapers with more than the usual flutter. The contemporary press again became contemporary as we caught up with the war in Europe, the possibilf ities of a third term for Roosevelt, and the engagements announced on the sof ciety pages. We made mental notes to inspect certain ring fingers when we met their owners in classes and at lunch. A 28 few unfortunates moved themselves over to Swift. We all, sooner or later, put the holidays behind us and settled down to classes. Miss HELEN D. Locxwooo, Professor of English Some of us plodded through the puddles to the Art Lihe, pondering on the caution of the scholarly mind. l-lavf ing spent all first semester spotting manf nerism, vve hegan to feel cautious ourf selves. What is mannerism? , we asked ourselves. ls it? Seniors lived in a mad whirl of theses and Picasso, roi outline, and the Italian Masters, revolving and revolving. More and more elaborate constructions of clay and cardboard and green sponge trees were huilt in the pinkfgirdered architecture room. A great deal of noise was made in the process of converting clay into stone. Some of the very adventurous cooked up messes of egg and oil in futile attempts to paint like Titian. IYS Auwrs lvl.

They peered at bacteria and investigated the anatomy of doglish, frogs and cats. Students of Psychology tested their fatigue curves, While more advanced experimenters were tinkering with electric sparks, ele' mentary physicists rolled carts down inclines and wondered what makes Water boil. Amid queer smells and dan gerous Vapors, the chemists manipuf lated their apparatus. Along about mid' years, there were openfhouses in the Sanderses.

Professor of Child Study and Director of ilu' Niwxcry School Future experimental teachers and pillars of communities went oil to the nursery school Where they attacked the stupendous problem of Why children behave as they do, and what can you do about it anyhow. They undid butf tons, did them up again, and noted reactions to pink cold cream. They adf monished belligerent tricycle snatchers and tucked children away in miniature beds. Some people Went far afield in their investigations, to Lincoln Center and the Poughkeepsie Day School. Some went even farther by bus up or down the Hudson valley, to institutions conf cerned with educating the very young or the adolescent. Whenever the vvanf derers had returned, the last rubber was on, and Wimpfheimer had quieted down, the Child Study majors Wrote long reports of what they had learned of the mysteries of human behavior. 31 as SKINNER HALL Vassar never had a group of students better exercised and more Htly trained in the open air than her musicians, the scaiers of Skinner.

North and Lathrop have taken steps to prevent the crippling of the enthusiastic masses who feed at their boards. ln Main the struggle is particularly difficult. No one who arf rives at the dining hall by 6:30 need hunger, not if she can find a seat, but people prefer to dine with their friends. The gregarious who seek tables for six arrive at the portals at 6 :os and talk, knit, and peruse the notices on the bulletin boards. Qccasionally a trayfladen maid wedges herself through the crowd, making for the temporary security of the elevator. When the bell 40 rings, the white angel opens the gates and the flood sweeps in. The devil takes the hindmost and seats her under the arches where she waits and waits, listening to the noise. After icefcream and butterscotch sauce or oranges, we sprawl over carpets of the Victorian parlors, smoke, and sip coffee. COFFEE L SOLITAIRE We were busy until far into those winter evenings. But, except for the ones of Spartan habits vvho rushed to the Libe at seven o'clock, work was at least spiced by entertainment. The most startlingly common diversion vvas that timefvvorn game, called solitaire, which is seldom played in solitude. Radios and vics furnished us softly, of course with Q Johnny or Beethoven's Ninth, as vve curled up in our most comfortable chairs.

At the nocturnal editorial sessions caches from the contribution boxes on the first floor of Main were shuffled religiously. The Little Mag prefers stories, charf acter studies and poetry, but like the Review, which solicits articles and book reviews as well, it will take anything really good which happens to be availf able. Sustained by cokes, the respective boards debated the merits of their meagre hauls of bellesflettres, proposed alterations, or rejoiced over an occaf sional find.

After that some of the freshmen still don't know what hall plays are like, but they hnd out, because Second Hall is really theirs and almost all of them attend it. The play reveals upfandfcoming dramatic talent and the audience is hysterically responsive. As soon as the music starts, stags gather along the edges of the floor. Because they have been asked to dance with the guests of their friends or because they are preyers upon lost sheep, they watch the dancers eagerly.

Tom is described as anything but the ideal prom man, the ideal being inclusive of every social virtue except intelligence, which, after all, doesn't shovv anyway. If poor Tom can't have everything, GRAND MARCH neither can the Dicks and Harrys. To the onlookers, the prom men all looked pretty much alike. They were all rosyf cheeked blonds dressed in tails, The main thing, from the galleryls point of vievv, vvas the prom dress, something very special, light and airy, and if posf sible, sequinned. We experienced our annual astonishment at the beauty of every one of our Junior Friends. The faculty and the photographer had good balcony seats facing the orchestra. The rest of the gallery groaned with a ddafl r,.y capacity crowd. Downstairs, latef corners stood on tiptoe to see snatches of the grand march, to note that crucial moment when the juniors, massed thirty deep and sixteen across, smiled for the birdie.

The number of skiers who had sprained their ankles dwindled with the snow drifts, so that crutches and wheelchairs disappeared from campus. But the inf hrmary was seldom quite vacant, esf pecially after big weekfends when the doctors did a thriving business doling out cough medicine. The common cold was all too common and it got more and more so as warm weather promised and then backed down on its word. Life in Swift became one round of inhalations, with Kleenex by the dozen gross. The vestibule was crowded with wellf wishers, the stairs were white with little notes. People outside thought this sort of life all very funny until they too answered the call of the cold. 54 Doesn't anybody remember the exact range of a sneeze? We should all be more careful. The thing to do after Swift has emitted you is simply this: take iron medicine-you know, red stuffland get lots of fresh air whenever you're not busy sleeping or working. Watch your weight. Anything else? One thing more: drop by the doctor's ofhce in a week or so and have a checkfup. And don't forf get to return those medicine bottles. SPRING FASHIONS THE VASSAR FARM Long before the trees began to bud, Vassar's skifsuits were laid away, subf stituted as the favorite leisure wear by blue jeans, the allfseason costume of the geologists and dramatists and the spring specialty of many a careful wardrobe. Arlington shop windows became gay with bathing suits and print dresses. Asparagus succeeded broccoli in the dinner menus. People again went walkf ing for pleasure, visiting once more the farther reaches of the campus, the orf chard, Sunset Lake, and the Vassar Farm. Vassar's cows are so attractive, Prexy reported in chapel, that a distant alumna's first question about the college ToMoRRow's BAcoN concerned the health of her favorite cow, Vassar Hyacinth. A queen still reigning, he was able to inform her, and still winning blue ribbons. THE RUSSIA N REVOLUTION Daffodils along the lake, tulips in the circle, classes out of doorsethese are the signs of warmer weather. Sunning, both serious and incidental, becomes a favorite afternoon practice. Girls dressed in shorts and halters gather on blankets in front of the quad halls, the fire escape of North is draped with the languorous and the bareflegged. For about three days, long enough to acquire a faint coffee color, we luxuriate in sunshine in public. Then notices appear on the bulletin boards, warning sunners of their impropriety. Those who would look as if they'd been to Bermuda have to hike to Kenyon. The most legitimate way to sun in the open is to get the professor and the class to come along, too. And some 56 classes do forsake academic halls for the season's delights, so yearned for by those who remain inside the windows. The classes do not always gather where flowers grow, although Shakesf peare has been discussed in the Shakesf LONELY AS A CLOUD peare Garden. Usually they adjourn from Rocky to the nearest unoccupied warm, dry lavvnfspace. Some of the best minds go frecklefgathering. The alert and attentive vvatch the bending of grass blades beneath the weight of ants. Better that the grass blades bear their creeping bodies than that the class be troubled, but the ants have no respect for scholars. Nor have the bees, which soar along menacingly. The ants and the bees are tvvo of the little reasons Why some classes stick to Rocky and fail to get dovvn to the real earth. There are some classes which are always conducted out in the open alvvays unless the rains drive them into Kenyon. The Department of Physical Education's spring term entertains the freshmen and the stillfunqualiiied upperf classmen on the golf course, the tennis courts, and the baseball diamonds. Shorts become a common sight again, sporters of tennis racquets and hockey sticks wear their coats in the classroom, as if We all didn't know their shame. The juniors of Cushing West and Lathf rop East are reminded of their ovvn youthful discrepancies as they listen, from dawn till dusk, to Gessler's advice to Williarn Tell, Pull in your Fannf eeffeeffeeu.

There are no classes and no absolute requirements for any' thing except the presence here of all the students and the absence of any pos' sible guests. The day begins with a late breakfast. The festivities begin with a serenade to Prexy who inaugurates the celebration with a gay little talk about relevant events out of the past. Then there are lots of things to do. There is BAGPIPERS, I Q a trip to the Founder's grave and there are guided tours through the farm, the power plant, and the kitchens of Main. For the very athletic, there is a paper chase. After lunch, which is really dinner at noon, the students compete with their longfpractised professors at the baseball game of the year, a dress affair held on Joss Field. Ordinarily, the cosf tumes of the faculty nine would excite comment, but on Founder's Day all FIRST BASE Vassar goes exotic in a very historical manner. The Grecian bend predominates in the bleachers to such an extent that nothing else could be classed as even slightly peculiar. There are hats to pref vent sunburn and there are hats, giganf tic hats, feathered hats, hats which make you wonder that heads can bear the strain. Modes of the gay nineties mix with those of the flapper twenties. Late in the afternoon there is a skit' party in the circle. More unusual cosf tumes appear, more of them and queerer ones. The shady trees and the drinking fountain become the nuclei of little groups of the weary. It's hard to tell which are more rif PREXY SPIRIT or '76 diculous, the costumes of the performers or those of the audience. There is music sometimes, sometimes singing. As usual there is Mahatma Gandhi in a sheet, saying nothing. Hitler occasionally assists in a skit, and when the crowds move out of the circle to get their suppers over in front of Lathrop, he goes along, too. The keyf note of Founder's Day is harmony, and the picnic is the great melting pot. When it is over, the lawns are deserted for Students', where the faculty, the wonderful faculty, presents its enter' tainment of the year, an original and hilarious Vassar Follies. For the sophomores, spring is an especially busy time, a season which fairly teems with ceremony. Certain 59 Supliomore Ojitcrs: Grace Sliumway. Fredericka Berger. Ellen Lee Blackwell. sophomores Takefoff certain freshf men for whom they happen to have physical resemblances. 'LTakefoff'5 is made as funny as possible, the tvvins appearing in identical costumes ranging in variety from simple single sheets to fancy dress of the most intricate form, costumes depending upon the construcf tion of their vvearers, their resemblance to each other, and above all, on their imagination. The sophomores' Tree Ceremony is one of Vassar's oldest traditions and one of the most beautiful of them all. The entire class participates, leading the other classes to the chosen tree. The class seal is set into the ground, marking the tree for future classes' notice as the possession of the one class entitled to celebrate at its foot. The sophomores become upperclassmen privileged to sing a marching song as they go. Their position is further recognized when the TREE DAY 60 Pr.uui' AIFFFRIES, Chairman Clj-SOj7l1 Prom, 19325 juniors give them the steps of Strong for stepfsinging with the next freshmen, their sister classmates during the year to come. The sophomores' prom is much less formal than those of the junior and senior classes. In fact, it's scarcely formal at all. No dances or halffdances Pl are given to the nonfsophontores. The gallery is less crowded than for the junior prom. This is the sophomores' own light celebration of spring and sophomoreship. Entertainment for the rest of the weelcfend is simple. There is more of the campus to be enjoyed than the interiors of buildings which the juniors feature in their tours of inspecf tion, of talking and taking up time. This is the season of picnics and that is how the sophomores spend Sundayfafterfprom. They visit Wappingers Creek and go wading in sunny pools, idyllically enf joying coolness more pleasant than that from which the juniors and their men withdrew into their coatfcollars. The differences between the proms, whether advantageous or disadvantageous, are proper ones. Spring really seems to bef long to the gay young sophomores. While their sisters trip the light fanf NIC 1 WAPPINGERS CREEK W l 61 COMPREHENSIVES tastie, the seniors struggle through the fevv obstacles which remain in the Way of their graduation.

They Wish they might go to New York or do something really exciting, but they can't. They struggle through notes taken four years before, when their handwritings were different.

A few vestiges of the usual modest commencef ment remained, among them the farf famed daisy chain. The twentyffour beauties have been praised enough. Let us remember the picking party that toiled in the sun on Miss Kenyon's estate, the day before, let us admire the patience of those who fished the daisies out of the swimming pool, which had been their overfnight Vase, and braided them into the chain. Alumnae filled Poughkeepsie, the nearfby towns, and, it is alleged, boats on the Hudson, in their search for sleepf ing accommodations. Seniors could keep 64 DAISY CHAIN OUT IN THE NOON' DAY SUN their own quarters in Main, but the surplus underclassmen were banished to Rocky, where they slept on cots and THIRD Hfxil., Vassarls Folly used orange crates for bureaus.

Graduates brought their small daughters to Kenyon to see the swimming pool and asked little Amelia now if she didn't Want to come to college When she was bigger. To feed the multitude, the quad hall dining rooms were turned into bullet service kitchens, to dispense summerftime delif cacies like creamed chicken and strawf berries.

For packing, the Seniors had more time than the other classes had, but they had more to talk about while they did it, as they had a lot more of it to do. Some of them packed everything early and lived, for the last few days, as they had lived in their first days at Vassar, with four walls, a bed, and a bureau. The desk no longer meant anything, but 66 it was there still and it held a lot of stuff which would otherwise have messed up the floor. A lot of people waited for their parents, and then let Father AND PACKING ,TWIXT PARENTs . . . take the curtains down for Mother to fold. A few wise ones merely numbered their possessions and left the dirty work to Eighmie's. The freshmen inherited alarm clocks, sternos, and some of the books.

The packed sat on the chair arms of the unf packed, and watched the progress of crateffilling. There was a good deal of singing and radiofplaying. Nobody could keep quiet any more. In the afterf noons, the parents were taken sightf seeing about the campus. There were picnics and dinner parties. Class Day was ceremonial, the Seniors dining in the halls where they lived as freshmen. There was some retrospectf ion, but the Seniors didnlt feel old, even if they couldn't remember freshman year very clearly out of the past. They felt relieved and maybe a little sad, but they liked themselves in their pastel Class Day dresses. For most of them, the Class Day exercises marked a hrst appearance in the outdoor theatre. They all knew that each parent thought his daughter the loveliest of the lotg that the alumnae, who saw them in the mass, thought the mass charming. Therefore they were happy though hot. Wheii the SeventyfFifth birthday party was over, when the combined def scendants from Vassar had slept it off, Commencement Day arrived. The Senf AND FACULT Y WE o1mnuA'r1iDl iors were up betimes, and dressed in their caps and gowns, the gowns being, this time, actually all of the same length. ln a long, long parade, the Class of 1940 followed the faculty into the chapel. The class was proudly graduated. lt shifted its tassels and received its diplomas. We DIPLOMASI Matthew Vassar's generous heart Found a brain in every lassg So he made his beer and the college here For the good of the Senior class. Jobs, jobs, jobs , said the Seniors, HCollege grads are we, But our money's gone and diploma's pawned For ready currency. Past Presidents: Priscilla Lamb, Barbara Austin, Helen Douglas, Harriet Bottomley CLASS SONG: Hear ye, the Class of 'Forty marches into history, Stand by and hear our footsteps echo in your memory. Voices rising, chorus symbolizing Vassar's unity: Ever repeat the beat of marching feet of our class of destiny 70 Senior Ojjricersr Judy Russell, Presidentg Faith Crandall, VicefPresidentg Nancy Blaine, Treasurerg Peggy Jeffries, Secre- tary. BACCALAUREATE HYMN Words by BARBARA AUSTIN We raise a grateful song to thee, Fair haven of past days, For having kindled in our youth The restless spark of burning Truth For guidance in her ways. Her torch which thou hast cherished here Flames upward, ever brightg We pray its brilliance may not wane, That We shall not have lived in vain Within its light. But let us pass without these gates, This torch our only guideg From prejudiced opinion freed, Above convention's careless creed, Let Truth be sanctified. 71 Rev.

This 1940 X,ASSARION is a record-maker among college yearbooks-an out- standing tribute to Editor Beverly Stocking and Business Manager Meriel Newcomer, plus their staff of competent colleagues. The track for modern yearbooks is fast. Yearbook editors have a task to per- form, yet one competently guided when the B.,l. H. organization acts as coach. Baker, Jones, Hausauer, Inc. have, since 1898, serviced and produced over one thousand yearbooks. Each annual is a story in itself of this firm's competent assistance, collaboration and service. To those who take over the 1941 XIASSARION, the B. H. College Annual organization provides the finest coach for your yearbook staff. Not just in smarter format, typography, content and art, not alone in complete publishing facilities right through binding and delivery-but in those equally vital matters of budgets, budget control, subscription and advertising revenuee the B. J. H. organization also gives you thorough professional advisement and assistance. A Baker, Jones, Hausauer contract means a distinguished book, produced with least effort, delivered on contract time, at exactly the price agreed upon. BAKER, JONES, HAUSAUER, INC.
