The Art Club has had a very successful year. About thirtyffive members were initiated to fill the vacancies left by last year's graduates. Mr. Cartwright, lecturer on Modern Drama, gave us a good motto. He said, Have a hobby and stick to it. We can truthfully say that we enjoyed our annual Valentine party. Later at an open meeting in the auditorium the art students showed their skill in art antics. The other big feature of this program was the entertainment given by the Monto Melody Boys. Mr. Mathis favored us by presenting the opera Rigoletto at another open meeting. Through the courtesy of the Grinnel Brothers the presentation of this opera was made pos' sible. One hundred eighteen

-Qc, E ll?CGIIGiIlPlUG and GCOJIGIUJ GWKKQ- 'Ghe Making of An .Annual NE of the most interesting things in a school is its Publications. If good annuals are to be had much hard work is involved and cofoperation of the whole school is needed. At the opening of the school year the students are given an opportunity to show their interest when a call is given for those who would like to work on the staff. Maiiy more students apply than can be used, but each person is given careful consideration and the best workers given the various jobs. After the staff is chosen work begins. The first job is that of choosing a theme. In order to have unity in a book some definite plan must be followed. This year for the irst time a committee of seniors, Bruce Davis, Elaine Knisely, Ruth Naylor, Lawrence Steele, Lotus Eberle. and Alice Eggleston held several meetings and decided on a modernistic number. Then came photographing the senior class. Seeing that three hundred people have their pictures taken is no small job and takes much time and patience. A contract is made with a good photographer who takes all of the pictures Besides pictures of the senior class there are group pictures of the organizations, the junior class and basketball and football squads to be taken. The photographer supplies the staif with a glossy of each person. These are cut to a uniform size and mounted on a large sheet of gray mounting paper. These panels are then sent to the engraver who by taking a picture of it reduces it to the size which appears in the book. A copper halfftone is made which is sent to the printer and a proof is sent to the staff. One of the most interesting things about an annual is the dummy This serves as al guide to the printer. It consists of pages numbered as they will appear in the finished book. On each page is pasted the printed matter and the proof of the cuts to appear on that page. Listing the freshmen and sophomores, although they don't have pictures, is a big job. To copy the names from the ink schedules takes a lot of time. An annual without any literary work would not be interesting. The wonderful poems and writefups in this annual are from the pen of Lotus Eberle. In order to carry out a theme successfully good division pages are necessary. The modernistic designs of this year were drawn by Lawrence Steele. The beauty of an annual depends on the art work and the Annual Board thanks the art classes for their kind cofoperaf tion in the art department. The cover of an annual should carry out the theme also. Wheii we decided on a mode ernistic theme we sent to the D. J. Molloy Co., in Chicago, stating what we wished to have and they sent us several cover designs. The committee decided on the kind they wished and this was sent again to the company. The artist there drew a cover design in color, which was sent to us for final approval. For the scenic section, the pictures in the opening section, the Annual Board is inf debted to Mr. C. L. Preston, a prominent Toledo commercial artist. We wish to thank Mr. Preston for his kind interest in our work. Each day's doings are recorded in the calendar which is really a school diary. Along with this goes the snapfshots where we can see ourselves as others see us. All in all, the making of an Annual is a big job which takes much interest, work and cofoperation. RUTH A. NAYLOR.
