Snee, S.J., modera- tor of the paper for the past two years, the Rev. Ernest B. Clements, S.J., served as new moderator, and Rev. John F. X. Bellwoar, S.J.. as financial director. The editorial staff up to the customary mid-term changes included Ed Burns, a January graduate, as editor-in-chief. Gene Edwards, associate editor, and Robert Storrs, sports editor. At the beginning of the second semester, the staff alterations found Jack Pyne as editor, Carl Liller, news editor, and Gerald Kern, sports editor. The rest of the staff was increased to fifty members, so that as many students as possible could contribute to its edition. Rated among the best of student news- papers by the Catholic School, the Quill and Scroll, and the National Scholastic Press Associations, the record of the Aquilian was very impressive during the past year. Many innovations added to the quality of the poper's make-up. New headline and body type, as well as the addition of many original column cuts, greatly improved its appearance, while the inauguration of several novel fea- tures assured better reader interest. The paper itself is composed of six pages. -a full page of school news items, an editor- ial page, a sports page, and many regular columns and features, including a humor column, a senior personality sketch, a book review, a Sodality report, and an exchange column, relating the highlights of other school's activities, found in the numerous school papers which are received regularly at the Aquilian office. The Aquilian office, on the first floor of Kohlman Hall, has incessantly been the center of unabating energy. Whether you passed by near the deadline date, or just after an issue came out, you would have always found a business-like atmosphere in the office. You might have seen the editors, planning the forthcoming issue or checking the copy before press-time, the scribes,'scribbling their assign- ed news articlesg the rewrite staff, rewarding and reordering the copy, the columnists, searching for inspiration, the typists, pound- ing away on their keyboards, and finally the moderator, advising and suggesting. Thus, amid the turmoil and confusion of a bustling staff, the Aquilian was prepared for the reader.

The pride of each graduating class is o testimonial left behind whichclearly depicts their school spirit, athletic and academic in- terests. Lacking practical experience and devoid of the material aspect of putting out a yearbook, we brought about this tremendous task only with the combined efforts of the staff and our moderator, Mr. Charles Lehm- kuhl, S.J. 4 September heard the cry reechoed through- out the halls for prospective staff members. Plans for the yearbook were submitted and the job of designing the cover went to John Mar- shall. Columnists, photographers and a busi- ness staff were eagerly solicited to start the momentous ordeal of gathering material for the book. Gene Edwards was appointed to fill the position of editor-in-chief, with Joseph Hogan as assistant editor and Tibor Kerekes, the business manager. With the guidance of Mr. Lehmkuhl, S.J., and Mr. Mc- Gee, S.J., the staff prospered and marched forward. After a capable staff had been selected, the tiring and exasperating job of writing, re- l. checking and beating the publishers deadline began. The business staff was meanwhile en- gaged in the acquiring of ods, which were to pay the greater cost of the yearbook. Stores, offices and department managers were plagued with countless numbers of our zeal- ous business staff. .By mid-April the staff was deep in the final rush, which was to climax their year of efforts and ambitions. Last minute copy and delayed ads were collected and the complete plans sent to the printer. To the underclassmen and former grad- uates go our'sincere and honest thanks for their cooperation in the production of our yearbook, without whose help the book would have been impossible to publish. Their subscriptions and ads which they gathered played a great part in the output the book, and their aid can never be expressed in dollars and cents. To the future seniors we extend a plea that they may feel free to call upon us for any help when their turn comes to put out a yearbook. JK K Left to right, Bottom Row: T. Kerekes, C.
