art'-f? last summer formulating
Bans for this 1954 edition. They
bought hard, planned hard,
and
worked hard. "But it all paid off
this week," John Ed said, as he
gave sighs of relief that had b<*»n

months.
Annual's Highlights
It would be difficult to say just
what single feature was the most
outstanding highlight. Personally,
we like the snap-shot section. This
section is not only well planned in
lay-out, but it has pictures of
events the students will want to
remember. They were integrated
very cleverly, chosen with excel-
lent taste, and of sufficient num-
ber to add life, interest, and per-
sonality in action to the fine book.

The cover section is another
piece of clever, artistic workman-

Town Girls Call
[Election Meeting
There will be a Town Girls'
eeting Thursday following chap-
. This is a most important meet-
ling, because election of officers for
■the next year will be held. This
jelecti n. ..ally held at the Spring
•Slumber Party, has been changed
o next Thursday so that more of
lire r.embers will be able to at-
tend. Ail members of the club are
d to attend.
i Swartz, graduate of Texas Christi-
an University, turned the dials on
the switchboard and the darkness
vanished ^ the spotlight fell on
Jimmy Watson, Carole Long, and
Garry Colburn.
Jimmy Watson claimed first
place in the men's oratory division
with his excellent delivery of "Art
and Religion." } Carole Long, up-
holding the established dramatic
ability which she exhibited in her
recent portrayal of "Saint Joan,"
came through with flying colors to
take first place in the women's po-
etry reading division with her mas-
terful delivery of T. S. Eliot's "A
Game of Chess "
Garry Colburn, true to his fashi-
on, took the blue ribbon in the
men's poetry reading division with
his outstanding interpretation of
T. S. Eliot's "The Hollow Merit."
And so—blue ribbons and con-
gratulations go out to Carole Long,
Garry Colburn, Jimmy Watson . ,
AND T. S. ELIOT.
ship. The sketch, just inside the
front and back, is most significant
to theme. The super-imposing on
the dedication page is tops.
Pictures appropriately placed on
the departmental pages are most
adequately selected along with the
contributing sketches.
Sports Section Wonderful
Coach Dan Hart was among the
first to congratulate the staff re-
lative to the sports section. Each
page added materially to the over-
all sports program section. It was
well balanced, too, not all of one
activity, but basketball, tennis, and
intramurals all beautifully displac-
ed.
My second choice for outstand-
ing points is the personalities sec-
tion. The large pictures surround-
rv
Ann Harrell Crowning June 5
ed with a white 'pin-stripe, printed
on a gray background, is one of
the most attractive annual displays
we have seen.
Weak Point Strong
The organizations section, we
believe, was the weakest section
in the book. (This excludes the
advertisements, which we feel
should not be in any annual, but it
is a necessary evil) Of course, we
all realize the tremendous task in
presenting any group pictures.
Even with the handicaps that the
staff had to overcome, this section
still came out much better than
many others we have seen.
, As for the class pictures, each
jHtudent that failed to have his or
' her picture made, is certainly sor-
ry now. And after all the beg-
ging, reminding, and urging John
Ed did, all that ?an be added >s
this—it's good enough for you, we
aren't sorry for you.
