Yearbook to Contain
400 More Pictures
Than Prior Edition
More than 2,100 individual stu-
dent and faculty pictures will ap-
pear in the 1964-65 El Alamo. This
is about 400 more than were used
last year.
Of the five days of picture-tak-
ing, Friday, October 16, was the
busiest when over 650 people
went through the line and posed
while the photographer snapped
two pictures of each one.
In a few weeks staff members
will have packets of pictures for
sale for $1.53. Each folder will
contain 10 wallet-size and two 3x5
portrait-size photos. This is a ser-
vice project from which the staff
will gain no profit.
“I’d like to thank the people
who responded to the picture-tak-
ing campaign and to remind the
students that they personally are
the ones who will benefit from
having their pictures in the year-
book when they are used for iden-
tification purposes,” commented
Mrs. Edith King, publications di-
rector.

Faculty members representing
Do you need to make a copy?
Documents, assignments, reports, 1
handwritten lecture notes, and j
pages from books can be copied
on the Vico-Matic coin machine in
the library for 25 cents.
All a student has to do is place
the material to be copied in the
proper slot, insert a quarter, and
press a couple of buttons. In sec-
onds a negative appears with the
print in white and the background
in black. This is ideal for line
drawings and blueprints.
Another quarter will change the
negative print into a positive one.
Fifty cents will make a copy of a
photograph. A negative is made
first and then a positive print is
made from the negative.
Since the machine is run on a
consignment basis, the school does
not own it. If enough use is not
made of it, the contractor will take
it out of the library.
Mrs. J. O. Wallace, head librar-
ian has looked over machines of
this type for years before finding
one suitable for SAC. The purpose
of making this Vico-Matic avail-
able he explains is “to render
better service to the students.”
