Distinguished Service Award is
not for one single effort alone,
but for continuous through-the-
years exceptional contributions
of service to our Club by a mem
ber or members. The Advisory
and Executive Boards, acting in
joint consideration, were proud
to present this year's certificate
to Mahlon Cline for his untiring
work as Treasurer for 4 years,
Terry McGovern for unselfish
loyalty and legal advice for so
many years, and Gordon Aymar
for maintaining such consistent
high personal and professional
standards throughout his distin
guished career.

the Club of a public relations
firm. Credit for this suggestion
goes to Edward Wade. The firm
selected was Morris Associates.
The coverage obtained for the
Club in the daily press and in
the trade journals not only pro
vided a better understanding of
the purpose and activities of the
Art Directors Club, but also in
creased greatly the acceptance of
our Club as an influential factor
in the field of advertising.
Through the united effort
of the Committees and the
membership, success has again
been attained in all areas of
activity. In addition, another
great step has been taken in
establishing the importance of
art direction in industry,
communications and the
nation's economy.
