Glee Club The COURIER reported: “There it was. thick white stuff swirling in the wind. And there we were, unable to reach school. And there they were, too . . . all the families and friends who had been looking forward to our annual Christmas Concert . . . snowed out of the Mount.” What a disappointment! The Concert we had been preparing for since September — cancelled! True, we gave it the following Tuesday at a special Christmas Assembly — but it wasn’t the same. MR. CARROLL LAMBERT again directed the Glee Club, and SR. THERESA GRAVINO was again its Moderator. NORMA VANASSE. a Junior, was its President, and MICHELLE PYKA its Vice President. Both NORMA and MICHELLE sang at the Father-Daughter Luncheon in February . . . NORMA, a duet with JANET WENTZ. MICHELLE, a solo. After the Christmas holidays rehearsals were begun for the Concert which will be part of the Fine Arts Festival in May. Songs will include selections from Tchaikovsky and Mozart, as well as such popular songs as The Impossible Dream and You’ll Never Walk Alone, both of which seem to have a special appeal to the teen-agers of this decade. 91

The Courier It was not dissatisfaction with the work of the TRIBUNE PRESS, but rather one phase of the mathematical theme of our Yearbook — Progression — that led SR. MARIAN SETON. Moderator of The COURIER, our school paper, to change printers. Sister had become aware that many High Schools were finding photo-offset a less expensive and quicker way to produce a school paper, and decided it would be wise to experiment. Both SR. SETON and the members of the Staff soon discovered that there were both advantages and disadvantages to the new method. Copy could be typed to fit certain areas, and “left-rule’’ was easy. . . . “right-rule” was not. Pictures could be cropped to fit certain areas, but couldn’t be “blown up” — and the quality of the original photograph had to be above average. Variety of type for headings could be obtained by using the new Artype and similar devices, but arranging them required much skill and patience. In many ways, The COURIER has had a very profitable and successful year. The COURIER has been an important phase of school life, providing the news and information which add so much to the development of school spirit. The Senior members of the Staff were DENISE DUVALL and MICHELE O’TOOLE. They were assisted by a group of Associates from the three other classes: Juniors: KATHY CLARK ELLEN CONVENTE NANCY COX STEPHANIE ORYSHYN JOYCE PARISI ELLEN POLLOCK CHRIS MURA and KIM WHITE Sophomore: MARY POCZABUT Freshmen: CATHY BANNON MARY BURKE CHARLIE GUARIELLO and ALBERTA SCAFURO

Yearbook “Our Yearbook’s the best yet . — a trite phrase, but this time it’s true! Turn the pages and admit it! Each year’s staff aims to make its yearbook better than the last — we’ve left next year s class quite a job! Color pictures, later deadlines and more pages all added up to make our book different. We found a perfect combination to be the fresh ideas of the staff and the experience of our Advisor. SR. CONSTANCE MARY, and our Yearbook Representative. MR. EVERETT ARNOLD. All members of the Staff are pictured on these pages except BARBARA BRADY. DOLORES McCABE and DENISE O’KEEFE
