Excerpt from The Arc, 1919

It was at first the intention of this class to publish the magazine, but on account of ha\ing to lose two months from school on account of the influenza epidemic the idea was given up. It was then suggested by certain members of the class that instead of a magazine we publish an Annual. This motion was brought up and passed at the first class meeting, but little did we dream of the amount of work necessary to accomplish this end, if we had, I think the motion would have been lost. A staff was appointed and with the aid of a Faculty committee we started. For about a week or so we did not get very far from the start because of the fact that no one knew exactly what was necessary to be done, except possibly the Faculty committee who, in their college days, had done a little work of this nature. Atter a while various printing and engraving con cerns sent in contracts and the most advisable one was signed. At about that time it dawned upon certain members of the Staff (a few of them it has not dawned upon yet) what a large amount of money it was really going to take. So the Business Managers began to try to work out a plan by which we could meet the cost; subscription blanks were distributed among the boys in the Battalion, and glory be to them in the manner in which they backed us up. Nearly every boy in the Battalion promised to take a copy, while Company B promised the largest number of subscriptions. Prices for advertisements were figured out and, let it be said here, that the Business Managers did excellent work in obtaining them. Next came the part that was of most interest to the school, and that was the taking of pictures. As you can easily see all kinds were taken and the more we took the more delighted were the boys. After about a month and a half of worry and work the Annual was sent to press and the entire Staff took a rest, that is if studying hard for the last month of Senior work can be called taking a rest.
