This first yearbook benefited from a backlog of experiments by John Hillbrand
of Bass, Arkansas. Most of us need the prod of publication to keep good enough
notes to be able to write up experiments but John is more thorough and was
able to submit experiments from several previous years, making this yearbook
as substantial as later ones which have more individual contributors.
