1929 Utonian

Index

eAppreciationAS the last forms of this, volume twenty-three, of the Utonian go to press, the editors feel a sense of relief. While the work has been enjoyable it has also been strenuous and a big responsibility. The work has been carried on to the best ability of a staff willing to work and at all times ready to do their bit.The book is far from being free of mistakes as it seems inevitable for annuals to avoid mistakes. It has been our desire to make it as nearly perfect as possible. Where we have failed all we can say is that we are sorry and the mistake was entirely unintentional although guarded against as closely as possible. If your picture happened to be left out, or, if your name was misspelled please don't be too harsh in your criticism but remember that the publication of an annual is a tremendous undertaking, requiring hours upon hours of work and months upon months of research and planning. It is the result of the best of the combined efforts of many different individuals. If you are pleased with the book a word of appreciation would go a long way, if you don't approve of it please be discreet in your criticism. If you are praised don't become conceited over it, if you are panned in the humor section please take it in the proper spirit, remembering that it is all in fun.There are many individuals who have striven throughout the entire year to make the production of this volume possible. To them goes our deepest appreciation. Without their assistance the task would have been impossible. To the entire staff goes our heartfelt thanks. It is impossible to mention them all individually in this space, but nevertheless we appreciate their splendid co-operation in making the 1929 Utonian a reality. Deserving of special mention are Ed Flandro, Landell Merrill, Francis Blumberg, Marion Gowans, Dick Harris, Milas Colton and Francis Rowlett. Each one of these individuals has given unselfishly of his time throughout the entire year. Each has done everything that has been asked of him. Douglas Nowell, Win-fred Buskirk, Sidney Olson, Preston Iverson and Milo Marsden, have all been equally faithful associates. James Ingebretsen has done especially good work on the Athletic section, while Wallace Goates, Halbert Greaves, and Hyrum Summerhays have all done very satisfactory work on the Dramatics, Debating and Music sections, respectively. To all others who have labored on the Utonian and whose names are not mentioned here we wish to express our thanks. We appreciate greatly, the interest which Frank Jonas, editor of the 1928 book, has shown, and also for his two splendid stories, one on the Union Building and one on the Auditorium.To the Paragon Printing Company and every man on its force we are grateful. Mr. A. G. Wallin has co-operated with us at all times. Mr. George Lewis and Mr. Kay Russon have taken a real interest in the book and are deserving of our thanks. To Russon we are indebted for the drawing of Professor Levi Edgar Young which appears on the Dedication page. To every member of the force we wish to express our sincere appreciation for they have all taken a bona fide interest in this publication. Many of them have worked hours over time night after night, that the book might make its appearance before the closing date of school. Two individuals whose efforts cannot be praised too highly are M. L. Bentine and Jim Owens. From the very beginning they have shown a special interest in the work. They have taken every care to see that the mechanical end of the book was made successful. They have sacrificed hours of pleasure and enjoyment that the Utonian might be a high class job and we truly appreciate their efforts.Engraving is an important factor in the production of a year book.
