While many students never give
much thought to the college annual
until the year’s end, there is a
certain group of students who »r«
diligently at work on the book
'and in some cases have been work
ing on it since this past summer
For those who are new at Elon
the yearbook is called the Phi P»
Cli. This title probably sounds un
usual, to say the least, to the ma
jority, but it is derived from the
first three letters of three literary
societies which were active on the
Elon campus many years ago.
It takes quite a few workers to
produce an annual such as the
Phi Psi Ch. The book is divided
into several sections, each section
handled by student editors. Teddy
Standley is the editor-in-chief of
the Phi Psi Cli and is the student
who does most of the work. Ruth
Lemmons is her chief aide, serv
ing as assistant editor.
The editors handling class pic
tures and class organisations are
Martha Brittle, Becky Hobbs, Don
na Kampe. and Dorothy Hawks.
The feature editors, working on
May Day, Homecoming, and other
such events are Judy Wataon and
Betsy Carden. Sara Summers,
David Marshbum, and Bob Over
ton are sports editors, handling
both Tarsity and intramural ath
letics. Sue Fisk and Jimmy Rosser
serve as copy edltori.
The invaluable typist positions
are adequately filled by the Briggs
twins, Cbarlesana and Mary
Glenn. Glenda Baumgarner. Bill
Cordes. and Don Terrell are the
organizations editors. The job of
this group is arranging pictures
for fraternities, sororities, and tl>«
majority of campus organizations.
Danny Gee handles one of the
most important posts on the staff,
business manager. He contacts
local merchants and sella ad«,
which reduce the cost of the «■-
nual to the students.
