Show It seems good to lean back and stretch, to survey a littered office strangely quiet and still, knowing that tonight there will be time for a movie or perhaps to waste an hour with the "boys", and not have to worry about whether a straggling committee picture gets taken. No longer will it be necessary to dodge by a professor with a clutter of old page proofs under my arm, after having sluffed several too many of his classes. No, and it won't be necessary to trip up the 84 steps of the Union Building a dozen times a day, and to have to do a lot of the things whose doing has made college life more rich and enjoyable. Myself, and each Utonian staffer like me won't soon forget the pleasant thrill that we felt in seeing the first color proof off the press in late October-or the last section sent to the printer in spring, and the apparent relief accompanying it. And finally, out of the maelstrom of pages, pictures, proofs and appointments merges a work of our very own, to offer a piece of satisfaction for a job done-satisfaction that was shared by a host of individuals whose helpfulness caused our work to be more pleasant. Special thanks to Dean Wallin for his layouts and technical advice; Joern Gerdts, who took time out to get us those personality pictures; Homer Coleman and LaMar Sainsbury of Stevens & Wallis, Inc. and Lorin and Max Wheelwright of the Wheelwright Lithographing Co.-all of them were menders of problems. First class engravings are responsible to Harry Spencer and the Los Angeles Engraving Company; and a remarkable cover job to Bill Retchin at the S. K. Smith Company. We extend our appreciation to Dean Peck of the Broadway Studio for his smooth operation and fine quality in portraitures; to cur artist Harold Miller, The Desert News, Tribune-Telegram, and most especially to Arnold Friberg, our nationally known illustrator, for his nostalgic cover picture. Thanks to Associate Editor Barbara Matthews because she was always there when needed, and Barbara Hickman for allowing to be locked in the Union Building late at night in order to meet a deadline; to Rich Lee and Connie Hunsaker on the Business Staff, and all others not mentioned but most needed. "Parm", of course, was our standby-we respected his wisdom and fatherly advice, but watched him out of one eye when drawing for the "cokes." These then are several of the people and experiences most conspicuous in making your 1952 Utonian "more personally yours." Bill Buchanan Editor |
