What’s The News Across The Campus? When MISS VECCHIOTTI was asked what her plans for the Courier were when she became the new Faculty Ad- viser of our school paper, her response proved that she had already given her assignment much thought and had very definite ideas of the role of such a pub- lication. She told inquirers: “It is our purpose: to publicize the events the school has planned; to editorialize current school topics of dis- cussion and world-im- portant matters; to entertain through art work feature stories and literary work of individual students; to relate events that have already happened; to provide students with an opportunity to see their work in print; to publicize coming sports events and report on past ones. “Our paper will be issued four times this year (hopefully).” It is interesting to note that in the two issues of the paper which have already been published, the staff has accomplished all the purposes outlined by MISS VECCHIOTTI. That the paper was well received is evident from the absorption of RAQUEL. LAURA and DEBBIE who are visible in the picture at the right, and MARIA ISABEL and TESSIE who are almost completely hidden. MISS DEANNA VECCHIOTTI. new Faculty Adviser for the Courier and CHRIS MURA. EditorinChief. wonder whether the student body will enjoy the articles they are reading as much as they have enjoyed them. 90

the unbelievable happened! Last year there had been a heavy snowstorm the Sunday chosen for the Concert — and the Concert had been cancelled. This year the weather pattern was the same. Glee Club members were unable to get to the Mount and it was realized that the Audience would be reduced to a handful. Therefore via Radio and Telephone Relay System, the Concert was again cancelled. It was presented the following week at an Assembly Program with parents and friends as guests, and the response was enthusias- tic. Now rehearsals have begun for the Spring Concert. Semi-classical and popu- lar selections have been chosen for the program and we anticipate a very great success. Above - SR. THERESA GRAVINO checks attendance at a rehearsal in the gym. At the left — MR. JUDGE pauses . . . and signals with the beautifully expressive hands of a musician . . . and meets with an immediate response from the group he is directing.
