Show A Day of Thanksgivin "WHAT A GREAT DAY . ..." we remark, pushing back from our desks and pausing to take stock of our cluttered Utonian office. . . . We look at the black question mark painted on the window with its "Where's George?" printed drippingly beneath it, at our completed deadline schedules and scenic photographs tacked upon the bulletin boards, and at the ever-teetering stack of past Utonians on the table by the door, suddenly realising that as the last Utonian is given out we have no further claim on room 418 in the Union Building. We remember last fall when the book was very young, and we were very in-experienced, and can see how we all have grown. We recall how we thought we would be editing the book in jail due to the couple of stiff jaywalking fines, and how surprised we were when the Senior class officers all remembered to appear the sixth time we scheduled their picture. It's been an experience for all of us that has been new, exciting, lots of fun, and a job that we're going to miss. We think of Mr. Lodefink and the staff at Stevens &? Wallis and realize what a vote of thanks we owe them for all their help and kind understanding of feminine fussiness. We remember how Bill Burton, artist at Stevens 6? Wallis, smiled good-naturedly and produced anklets and saddle shoes instead of heels on his coed figures when we asked for them. We think of Dean John L. Ballif, who answered our many questions until Mr. Theron Parmelee arrived home to help us and to treat us with his low-number system of ice cream cone buying. We want people to know of the fine job Mr. Pete Ecker did for us in taking class pictures. We like the job the Los Angeles Engraving Company did for us and appreciate the service Hal Rumel, Art Taylor, the Deseret News, Tribune-Telegram and Salt Lake Tribune gave us with special photographs. We wish to thank the members of the staff who did such a fine job in helping us get the book out and especially the staff heads. We are indebted to Professor Gail Plummer, Mary Beth Wheeler and Scott Woodland for the aid they gave us. We thank Jean Bickmore for the publicity she so willingly gave us in the Utah Chronicle, and Dean Shelledy for the way he kept the staff supplied with cartons of Dentyne gum. Finally, we agree that our "Where's George?" publicity theme could have easily been "Where's Johnny?" John Peterson and his camera were the mainstay of the staff and are responsible for practically all of the pictures in the book. All of these people we remember with a feeling of satisfaction and gratitude as we see our finished book, knowing that the 1947 Utonian has many friends.
