Annual Staff Sends
Yearbook to Press
Cheers of joy were heard from
31C, the Pageant office, as the
last signatures of the 1957 year¬
book were sent to press this
week. The journalists will not
remain idle for long, however, as
work begins almost immediately
on next year’s student handbook.
Pageant editor Herb James
urges students with ideas or im¬
provements for the handbook to
bring them in before work gets
underway. Each year the hand¬
book is revised and modernized
for distribution in the fall.
The final two signatures of the
annual are made up of snapshots,
most of which were received from
the student body. Any student
who donated snapshots and would
like them back is reminded he
can pick them up in 31C after
two weeks time.
