1962 Scarlet And Gray A memory book, an accurate picture of the school, and a permanent record were the goals which we of the 1962 Scarlet and Gray staff tried to achieve through our explanation of What West Lafayette Is. Without the conscientious work of the staff to do the best jobs possible, this Annual could never have gotten past the planning and dream- ing stage. The layout organization was simplified by work done at IU's Journalism Institute, but the copy and pictures needed to complete this framework kept the entire staff busy until the final deadline was met in mid-February. Although all staffs worked industriously, we would like to acknowledge the assistance of Shari Smith and Susie Allen, Literary co-edi- torsg Jane Shipley, Associate Editor in charge of Layout, Jack Jarrell, business manager, and Ken Knaus, photographer. We are most grate- ful, of course, to our faculty advisor, Miss Ruth Sinks, and to Mr. Henry Paloncy, business ad- visor. A sincere thank you to all, Lynn Horner and Al Hutchings Co-Editors Al Hutchings and Lynn Horner, Co-Editors of the An nual, select pictures to be used.
