Last year's Deacon's "Testament," scheduled for release in the fall, has been held up by the printer, but will be out by June, Kirkland House officials said yesterday. A 1952 edition will not be published, they added.
The "Testament" is the last of the House yearbooks, most of which were discontinued several years ago. In 1950 when the "Testament" was faced with collapse, Robert W. Shoemaker, Jr. '43, of Anderson, Indiana, former Kirkland House resident, offered to print the book for nothing.
Last year's staff made the same arrangement with Shoemaker, but due to a mismarking of copy, much of the work had to be re-done, causing the delay in publication.
Charles E. Nelson '52, former chairman of the Kirkland House committee, who lives near Shoemaker, said yesterday that he would see the printer during vacation and try to get the "Testament" out in April. "But it will be out by June at the latest," Nelson said.
According to House officials, the year-book has been discontinued mainly because of financial reasons.
At least 250 men had signed up for the 51 edition at a subscription price of $2.50
