COMMITTEE APPOINTS GIBSON RED BOOK HEAD

C. Colmery Gibson '37 has been chosen by a committee of upperclassmen composed of former Red Book chairmen, to be editor in chief of this year's publication. The Red Book, which sets forth in detail the accomplishments of the Freshman class, and the Senior Class Album, which shows its development, are the only undergraduate records which contain the history of the class.

Gibson, who prepared at the Boy's High School in Atlanta, Georgia, and edited the school paper there, is a member of the Freshman Union Committee and the Freshman basketball squad. He will appoint the heads of the art, business, editorial, and photographic boards of the Red Book, subject to the approval of the committee of upperclassmen. These choices will be announced next week, and the date of the competition to be held for positions on these various boards will be definitely set for some time after Christmas.

Photographs for the book, which have been taken at Notman's studio since the term began, are almost completed. It is encouraging to note that last year's Red Book was a financial success though not a very great one, since only a slight sum was left over at the end of the year. For the past few years, with the exception of the class of 1936, the Red Book has steadily run a deficit. This year it is hoped to convert last year's slight margin into a substantial sum. One of the most important problems to be decided is the feature for this year. The Red Book of 1935 chose the Yard as the subject for its chief article and the 1936 board discussed the administration of President-emeritus Lowell.

Deric Nusbaum '36 was editor-in-chief of last year's Red Book.
