Two years ago the 1938 Gem was started. Since that time everything in the power of the staff has been put into this Vandal yearbook to make it part of the endless string of outstanding Idaho annual publications. It is with regret that we have reached the point where history begins, where our work ends, and where our talents and efforts will be put on the shelves as part of Idaho's never-ending history. The cooperation that was received from the editorial staff this year is really worth mentioning. We owe a lot to the many helpers who have aided in finishing what we hope will be a worthwhile yearbook. To Fred Swank, assistant editor, we present the roses. Freddy helped this to be the excellent book that it is. To Towhead we offer our sincere thanks. To Verla Durant and the Tri Delts we give orchids for their grand work during the year. To Margaret Brown, Ila Ingersoll, and Evelyn Williams we hand another bouquet. To the various section editors, G lendon Davis, Ruth Bevis, Billye Jane Austin, Homer Davies, Marie Raphael, Jim Boyd, Margaret Barton, and Phyllis
Rand, we extend our sincere thanks for go::x:l work. Alden Hull and John Rupp are also extended indi路 vidual appreciation for their cooperation. To the builders of the book, Ralph York and the personnel of the Syms-York Company at Boise, and Walt Irvine and the Western Engraving Company we extend our sincere thanks. Charlie Dimond again took wonderful pictures. He cooperated to the utmost with the staff, even though we gave him only minutes notice when we wanted pictures for the 1938 Gem. We also extend our appreciation to Hutchison's studio and Sterner's studio. To all the other members of the staff, who comprise the greater part of the group and who made this book possible, we give our heartiest thanks. So with this we close the final chapter of the 1938 Gem of the Mountains. We hope that Idaho feels that this book is something of which she will be proud. To the entire student body, our heartiest thanks and deepest appreciation for the opportunity to edit this Gem of the Mountains. JIM YODER.
