G&B Gets Accolades A first class rating was given The Garnet and Black of 1957 by the National Collegiate Press Association, Jim Fuller, editor of the 1958 edition, announced this week. The '57 yearbook garnered 5,225 points, missing the All. American rating by a mere 75 points. A yearbook must have 5,300 total points to earn an All American rating.

The Miss Garnet and Black Contest originally scheduled for Russell House Assembly Room Tuesday night, Nov. 12, has been postponed to Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 8 p.m. According to Garnet and Black editor Jim Fuller a mix up in Assembly Room reserva tions was the cause of the postponement. The original story pertaining to the contest appears on page five of this edition. Fuller pointed out Wednesday night that all information in the story is now indefinite due to the unexpected change in plans. The judges commented on the excellence of the cover, end sheets and the opening section as well as complimenting on several other phases of the annual. Plans have been made to adhere to the suggestions made by the judges in the 1958 edition, Fuller said. The Garnet and Black staff will attempt to portray accurately a picture of the year 1958 at Caro lina, he said. Lawrence Curry was editor of the annual last year, Patsy. Mel lette was managing editor and Frank Mims was business man ager. "An important innovation was made by the staff of last year when the beauty section of the yearbook was chosen in the Miss Garnet and Black contest. For merly this had been done by send ing pictures of candidates to a prominent personality for judg ing," Fuller commented. "The staff of last year is due congratulations on the successful coverage of the school year and the very favorable reception of the book by the judges and the student body," he said.
