We page The Bend through it and examine each picture carefully to find our own face. We pass it around for autographing and then put it away in a trunk or drawer. Very few students realize how much work and planning goes into our Bend. Long before anyone else has begun to think about annuals, a handful of seniors with Mr. Baxter's guidance have started working. This year's editors were Marianne Kircher and Carol Harty. Philip Schowalter acted as business manager, while jim Grogan and Dave Bor- chardt worked hard to get sponsorships. The first step was to plan a budget. When the staff knew how much money it could expect, plans for a layout were completed. Then the real work began. Pictures were taken and mounted. Articles were written and rewritten, and many a long hour was spent thinking up just the right title for a page or picture. As the deadline drew closer, the staff worked longer hours. lt wasn't all work though. There was a trip to Milwaukee to get ideas from other annuals, the fun of planning the pictures, and, of course, that final feeling of satisfaction when the last bit of copy was sent to the printer. The Clipper this year was published every three weeks and can boast Campus Clipper of a subscription of 425, the largest in its history. Only through the cooperation of editor, staff and adviser was such success possible. This year's set-up of the staff was different and things ran smoothly and efficiently. The editor-in-chief was Philip Schowalter, with news editor Norma Simon, feature editor Delores Rainey, sports editor Jim Grogan and art editor Marianne Kircher. Many members of the staff will be graduating this year. Norma Simon, jim Grogan, Sue Cooley, Barbara Ziegler, Carol Harty, Betty jaeckels, Dolores C-ruell, Grace Braeger, Kay Kircher, Mary Ann Reich- ert, Marianne Kircher and Philip Schowalter, all Clipper veterans, are leaving, but Clipper tradition will carry on.

The purpose of the club was to pro- vide bigger and better pep meetings, and the members did a fine job. No officers were elected, and no dues were paid. A chairman was ap- pointed for each meeting, He would pick a committee that would dream up a stunt. Next heid call in the cheer leaders and talk with lVlr. Freeman, our band leader. All these people working together produced some swell pep meetings, Cheers for the Pep Club! May it have a long successful career at W. B. H. S.
