ARROW STAFF lst Row-Mr. Lagomarcino, Evelyn Liebsch, Charles Holland, Ruth Glass. 2nd Row-Bill Caldwell, Ir. Mease, Phyllis Dick, Pat Britt, Kathryn Bickel, Guinevere Cantonwine. One organization that has had a lull-time iob this year is the Arrow Staff. It began work last tall when Mr. Lagomarcino selected a group of seniors to carry out this proiect. With Charles Holland as editor the staff worked industriously throughout the year until the annual was finished in May. 1 This year the Arrow took an entirely different and original lorm and the staff have done their best to make it a success. Bill Caldwell, as photographer, could be seen darting about with a Cum- era trying to tind the right angle to snap the pictures. Kathryn Bickel and lunior Mease were photography editors. Evelyn Liebsch, as business manager, had plenty ot brain exercise in taking care of financial affairs. Don Brickley and lack MacAl1ister, sports editors, were kept busy with athletics. Ruth Glass iound more than enough to keep her occupied in the position oi feature editor. Guinevere Cantonwine, assistant editor, lent a hand in telling all concerning the activities and organ- izations ot VHS. After going through the usual ordeal of arranging and re-arrangniq, writing and re-writing, the diliiculties were overcome and the result was an Arrow which the Staff hopes you'1l be proud to own.
