Deacon Yearbook Meets Fund Quota

Because of the best fund raising year in its history, the Kirkland House yearbook, "The Deacon's Testament," will be published as usual this year.

The yearbook needed to raise $250 in advance of its publication, and it appeared for a time that the traditional "Testament" was doomed. Posters were put in the dining hall and on the bulletin boards, a Kirkland House band serenaded the House as an advertising stunt, and a corps of solicitors was sent to every entry.

The solicitors were ordered to get a one dollar deposit from each person, the balance of two dollars coming due on delivery of the book. The response was far better than was expected, and well over the necessary amount was subscribed. "Testament" editor William H. Mogan '52 announced that department editors had been chosen and work would begin immediately.
