I had forgotten when I wrote the post *Deceased January 31, 1925 that Grandpa Fred was editor of the Senior Pages for the 1925 Makio. I can't help but think that when Charley was complaining in letters home about how hard Fred was working on the Makio, that Fred was working hard on the Makio because of his senior brother Charley.

| 1925 Makio |
School newspapers and yearbooks have long been a fertile proving ground for aspiring journalists and photographers and Charley and Fred both worked on the OSU Lantern and Makio. Did they also work on their Logan High School newspaper or yearbooks? So far I have only found one online edition of a 1922 Aerial and Grandpa Fred was its business manager. Personally, I bet Charley couldn't wait to get involved with both OSU publications, and Fred just followed along because he could.
Since the 1925 Makio was dedicated to Uncle Charley, David, and the others who died that year I can only imagine how hard it was for Grandpa to keep seeing his brother's face haunting him from the yearbook pages as he worked on them.
Worked for a brother who would never see the final product.
