Budd Johnson: Editor Howard Page: Business Manager 1941 acorn Perhaps it is not seemly to discuss an editor in his own publication; but be that as it may, Budd Johnson is unique. His complete nonchalance in the face of deadlines and impending responsibilities made his associates marvel even in their exasperation. Even as this is written there is no guarantee of the book's eventual appearance. The work of Johnson, Page, et al, may yet go unheralded and unsung . . . The staff included Reed Coray, J. M. Demos, Gladys Godfrey, and Betty Smalley, associate editors. ASSOCIATE ACORN STAFF Marjorie Vowles, Rosella Larkin, Mr. Trevithick, Maurine Duffin, Karl Macfarlane, Gladys Godfrey, Reed Coray, Kay Freeman, Kent Baggs. The write-up of the A corn in the Acorn by the Acorn should be of scintillating brilliance, lavishly bestowing just praise. The flesh crawls at the thought. To encourage faith in other opinions expressed in this hook, extravagant praise is, therefore, carefully avoided. However, some claims to achievement must be made. Only harassed staff members can truly testify to the problems involved in publishing this yearbook. Problems beset its path from the day the first call for student photographs was issued until the day the final deadline was not met: problems of student cooperation, staff scholastic averages, photographic capriciousness, temperamental advertisers, and general unfortunate misunderstandings that manage to interfere with the smooth completion of the work.
