Pridwin Pripwin, inscribed with the figure of the Blessed Virgin, was the shield carried into battle by King Arthur. As it was his duty to valiantly lead his men, it was our duty to lead the senior class in the production of its yearbook, another Pripwin, designed to preserve permanently life as we knew it at Mount St. Mary’ s, where that same Holy Lady served again as inspiration. After Erv Straw had led his cohorts in the unending search for advertisements and guaranteed the financial soundness of the venture, the PrRipWIN office was swept out, and a small but effective staff rolled up their sleeves and went to work. Jack Andrews wore out scissors and rulers, Tom Howard wore out pencils and erasers, and editor-in-chief Joe Charles wore out his nerves. Joe Kender drew and drew; Chuck Swett typed and typed. Father Kline looked in to see that all was going O.K. The office was inhabited by those who thrive on late hours, a catchy sentence, and too many cigarettes. The men bit their fingernails as they anxiously watched the deadline date on the calendar. With a hopeful sigh for perfection, the plates, copy, and dummy pages were given a final check and sent to Harry Lavelle’s office in Baltimore. The editor and staff are sincerely grateful to each and every one who in any way assisted in the publishing of this book. Associate editor Werner (behind door) explains the situation to S. Gatti, D. McKew, B. Lander. Missing: P. Jasper, D. Kearns, J. Maloney. 46

Camera Club On one of those lazy, sunny afternoons in May, 1951, three of our classmates, Jerry Green, “Peanuts” Keyser, and Jim Thomas, sat in the canteen discussing ways and means of improving the Mount’s photographic “IQ.” In the course of their conversation the idea of founding a Camera Club was germinated. On returning to the College in September, the three “‘shutterbugs” gave their concep- tion the spark of life necessary to make it a reality. They called a meeting of interested students and proceeded to organize the Camera Club. A constitution was written, submitted to the Student Council and approved by it. A room in the basement of DuBois Hall was obtained from the “‘powers that be” and it was fitted for use as a darkroom. Plans were made to keep the members actively interested in photography and to improve their camera knowledge. The members were successful in making their work appreciated around the campus. Camera Club men served the College paper as photographers and contributed pictures to the 1952 yearbook. Dr. John Richards, Club Moderator. 48
