The Wellesleyan This year’s Wellesleyan represents much thought and careful planning in order to insure the senior class of one of the finest yearbooks ever published for Wellesley High School. For the first time in the history of the book, the editors-in-chief and the editors of the various departments were chosen in the spring of their junior year. This venture was started so as to give the on-coming senior class a chance at what we called appren¬ ticeship and to help them get off to a head start in their senior year. These junior apprentices worked right along with the various staffs and in so doing learned the techniques that go into the making of a good yearbook. One of the main projects to be accomplished by this group of apprentices was the complete planning of the 1952 Wellesleyan before the close of school in 1951. When the junior year had come to a close the members of that class who had tried out for the editorships were voted upon. Their names were announced on the last day of school. This year we chose two capable students, Betty Ann McCurdy and John Leyon as co¬ editors-in-chief. Under their guidance and with the excellent direction of Miss Palmer this year ' s book progressed rapidly. Because our three years at Wellesley High have been so memorable and rewarding, the editors-in-chief and the department editors hope that your yearbook represents com¬ pletely all these events and that it will continue to do so for many years to come. 10
