A word of acknowledgement - If there is any merit in this work, please give credit To Lucy Denning, who directed the mimeographing of the publication, and to her able assistants, Ruth Ellis, Alice Dunn, Norma Meyers, Gerard Klomp, and Harold Abegglen. To the cartoonist, and the contributors for helpful cooperation. To Spencer Klomp and Ralph Clark for typing of manuscripts. To Judge and Lite, humor magazines, for some of the ideas employed herein. To all others who have contributed or criticized these bits of humor. And a word of warning - The Crumbs has never been known for reserve in its criticism - it has always been personal in its viewpoint - and it has always been addicted to attacking personalities in its humor. This years issue, in spite of student body sponsorship, is no exception. If anyone takes offense at the free use of his or her name, if anyone regards any Crumbs remark as libel, we are sorry. We felt obligated to mention as many persons as possible, to avoid slighting anybody. So now we rely on the ability of each person to "take it." HISTORICAL 1931 Saw Ock Deming give birth to the Acorn Crumbs as a personal project; didn't foresee the magnitude to which the infant was destined to grow. 1932 Saw the childhood of the Crumbs, still under guidance of the parental bond; began to realize that this child of the Bum's brain was not just a temporary phenomenon. 1933 Saw the youth flourish under the tutelege of the Protege, Bob Kimball; saw two hundred readers sweat to death attempting to translate the personal vocabulary of that genius. 1934 Sees the Crumbs sold to an enlightened student body as its yearbook; sees it pass thru adolsecence without financial worries stunting its growth. 1935 Will see the Crumbs reach maturity under the direction of Gene Clark, who is capable of making the fifth issue the finest of them all. 1936 And succeeding years will see the Crumbs as one of Weber's most promanent institutions, we hope as a recognized student body project.
