Excerpt from The Chanticleer, 1955 From its inception, a yearbook conceivably allows many possibilities for its editor. He inherits many stereotyped procedures which would seem to conflict with his own newer ideas. Consequently, he may combine the two or choose between them. In this book I have attempted to emphasize that which I thought was important and have broken away from the old patterns whenever possible, selecting and present ing only those elements which I felt were most interesting. My ideas of a yearbook and what it should portray were primary considerations in this selection. This year the quality of the photography was of the first importance, some times at the expense of de-emphasizing the group shots. I did this purposely, feel ing that appeal is lost in page after page of faces lined up in restricted space. The supplemental pictures attempt to convey the essence of a particular organization what it does and ultimately what it means.
