EdtorialThe production of ar College annual, though it is iur trnnual affair,

requires tr cor.rsiderableamount of time and hard work from all con-r:erned. Fol the mtrgazine stafi member, who is most likely a student, itmeaus a certain pressrlre on his academic timetable, and a certaitl sirc-rifice of his leisure time. The magazine stafi stalts, and keeps, the ballrolling. The printel fills a vital position. When judging whether anyrrtagazines good or bad, one is often aflected by the printin{. The pricepaid for magaztte space by the advertiser is, most ofteu, a donationrather than a business transaction. The oontributor (rneaning al l thoservhowrite fol the year book ) supplies the yeal book with its subject mat-ter, arrd rnay help set a stanclard of quality throughout it .

The magazine stafi extends sincerest hanks to its printer, advertisers,coritributors, urd al l who helped in 'the production of this year's Feiltliun.Special hanks are extended to Mr. H. V. R. Ealle for a most thoughtfuland down-to-earth foreword.

We believe that this College has had tr goocl year. Yerrrsago, how-cver, l much stronger ttncl richer school spirit existed. There was a closerlellowshqr among the students then because they were fewer in number,and the school was a second home to them, We think this spirit of thellast dwindled with the smothering effect of the oncoming of rnodernrvorldcomplexities, but is now beginning to catch the logs and show thel'eildian flame ugain. The fltrmes, however, are still small and far apart.We hope that, as our loyalty takes hold again, our enthus iasm will beginto glow moi'e brightly, not every here and there in the scattered ndi vidualas t is todary, ut in the hearts of all. The "Glory thirt was Feild" citn onl1,be revived, fully, by l sharing of preserit responsibilities among all whocan call thernselves Feildians."
