Yearbook Provides Record of Jesuit 1969 Speculum '69 started in May, 1968, with the selection of Mike McDowell as editor- in-chief. The first day of summer vacation McDowell called a general staff meeting. The Week of June 10-14 he attended day-long classes at Portland State University to learn the skills of editing a yearbook. Contents of every page were decided in September, and page designs were drawn up for the 40 pages due the first deadline, December 31. The yearbook staff re- cruited its own photographic corps, and using unprecedented quantities of film began pictorially recording the events of the year. Speculum 1969 was the first to have a separate yearbook office. The small quarters, located behind the cafeteria, were remodelled to suit Speculum purposes during the construction period of July-August, 1968. For deadlines, the Speculum moved into the library or Room 21 for more table space. Jesuit does not give credit forjournal- ism work. The extra-curricular yearbook was guided by Adviser Mr. Pat Howell, SJ. Deadlines were a problem. The 176-page Speculum '69 had four deadlines, averaging 44 pages due a deadline, each one month apart. The staff worked every afternoon and evening till midnight for a solid week during deadline times. School closures be- cause of snow added many problems.

YGREG JANSEN, Bryan Cullivan, and Brian Bruning reflect on their images. Club Develops New lmoge Colossal demands developed by the frenetic school publica- tions prompted expansion of Photo Club operations and the recruitment of photographers and photo lab techniciansg The hyper-active membership was kept busy providing pic- tures for The Crusader, the Speculum, and local papers. Presidents Mike O'Donnell and Jerry Mackey enlisted seven new photographers and helped them learn the tricks of the trade. Adviser Mr. Patrick Howell, S.J. and three new cam- eramen attended a clinic sponsored by the Photo Graphic. There they learned the arts of taking available light pic- tures. arranging picture composition, and cropping pictures properly. This new crew and four veteran photographers spent long evening and afternoon hours in the darkroom developing, printing and reprinting pictures. H. J. LANGTRY, Mike O'Donnell, and Bill Dougherty take readings for a snapshot. wap: , i I i 'QQ j. .3 P
