We would like for you to meet the editors of this 1942 Bulldog, a class of eight girls, and our sponsor Miss Herron. Esther Anne has proven her ability by preparing the faculty, administration, and senior pages, Ethel has fo Wld fun in collecting and taking pictures of the dramatic productions and for the snapshot page. In their spare time Esther Anne and Ethel have proved that they are very good salesmen by selling ads. Miss Herron has given us many bright ideas and much valuable time ma king it possible for us to edit this book. Maxine says sports ar e her hobby and her football, baseball, and basketball pages are certain proof of her stateillent. Virginia is the artist of the class and author of the dedication. Frances finds typing so much fun and is such an expert that she has typed some , of the ads as well as editing the freshman, sovhr!lore, and junior pages. Jean and Betty Jane found the calenaor page much easier when they worked on it together. Jean has been good at collecting money too and just look at her pep club and in memoriam pagest · Betty Jane is one ot our able musicans and she is responsible tor the band and glee club pages.
