New campus -l- new spirit : one new kind of yearbook! HKS move from Fort Lee to Demarest opened so many untried doors to yearbook staff members, that the biggest problem seemed to be, How do we capture it all in a camera lens or on paper? To learn the most effective tech- niques in layout design, photography, and copy writing, scores of HA-ers invaded yearbook conventions at Columbia and Fordham Universities in the fall. Literary staff members began their first work on the senior section, as ECHOES photog- raphers busily snapped candid pictures of classmates, As copy was written, business staff members typed Cand retypedl in an effort to get ECHOES to the printer on time. Every angle of the new building, every curve of the campus was inspected as to its possibilities as a picture setting. And, as the yearbook neared completion, the moderator and heads of staff Swal- lowed aspirin by the ton. Phewl-Another year, another yearbook . . . Glad for a rest amid lectures and conferences at the CSPA convention, ECHOES staff members smile for the photographer. Posing at the edge of the lake as they -tour the campus for picture possibilities are ECHOES heads of staff Ellen Fritsche, Editor-in-Chief, Janice O'Connor, Photography Editor, Debby Detjen, Business Manager, Sue Craig, Literary Editor.

To gain new ideas and compare notes with other schools, the staff members attended the Catholic Publications Conference at Fordham University on November l. Later, in Feb- ruary, representatives traveled to Caldwell College for a Press Day. At the 42nd Annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention, March lO-l2, girls attended meetings at Columbia University, and heard speeches by staff reporters from major New York newspapers and magazines. Editor Connie Ferreira and Business Manager Kathy Gartland acted as chairmen at two of the sectional meetings while Advisor Sister Mary Ellen gave a talk on a method of producing a school newspaper. The convention ended with a luncheon at the Americana Hotel and an address by Vice-Pres- ident Hubert Humphrey via a White House line. During the year CHIPS has received the Gallup Award from Quill and Scroll, as well as the All- Catholic Award from the Catholic Scholastic Press Association. CHIPS also merited Medalist from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. What will the lead story be? CHIPS Editor Connie Ferreira asks Terry Grosso, Publicity Manager, and Ruth Ellen Radics, Managing Editor, to think about it. Ginny Restivo, News Editor, isn't wasting any time. Explaining the work of a page editor during her lecture at Columbia University's press convention, Sister Mary Ellen uses props to demonstrate her point.

Overlooking a sweeping view of the auditorium, Gay Pretenders officers Eileen Connolly CSecretary?, Chris von Dohln lPresidentJ, and Janet Cooney lVice-Presi- dent? discuss plans for a coming production. QW? One of HAis most consistently active clubs, the Gay Pretenders became involved in two major productions. Members romped through Seven Nuns at Las Vegas, a modern miracle play about a convent mysteriously trans- ported from the outskirts of a quiet eastern suburb, to the center of a desert just a few miles outside Las Vegas, Nevada. The lights dimmed and the tone sobered, as The Barretts of Wimpole Street debuted as our spring production. Members donned beards and Suspenders as Angels, cast as men, rumbled and gruffly issued com- mands, sternly impersonating the family of Edward Moul- ton-Barrett. At the invitation of the Speech and Drama depart- ment of Glassboro State College, Gay Pretenders entered their production of the one-act play The Ugly Duckling in a state-wide competition held at the Glassboro campus. Members journeyed to Seton Hall University to present the play before the National Catholic Theater Confer- ence's regional meeting. Efforts at capitalizing on dramatic talent and instruc- tion on basic stage accomplishments, lighting, scenery, and special effects keep members alert to opportunities for self-expression. As one of HA's most vital groups, the club welcomes and encourages all aspiring thespians. 32 Stage committee members begin moving props for the next act. Carol Hardigan and Chris von Dohln hold on to an upright piece, as Sue Holohan slides one past.
