Sigikhamt M0 erald M3903 ' g 7 RENAISSANCE activity began to roll on Sept. 29, 1953 and the main topic of our first meetings was the selection of our yearbook theme. Since His Holiness, Pope Pius XII disclosed on Sept. 8th that the year, 1954, would he a Marian Year, we decided to high- light and emphasize the Marian Year as our theme. Then we set our backs to the plow. This year marked the 27th edition of the yearbook. Senior response was immediate and enthusiastic. Forty seniors worked long and hard on the individual write-ups and they were completed by Dec. 11th. Right here we want to thank Jack Nichols, RENAISSANCE co-editor, who typed 90 percent of the entire yearbook so expertly and expedi- tiously. The top echelon chosen for the RENAISSANCE were Jack Nichols, Vic Wade and John Donlan. Busi- ness co-editors became Paul Maney, All Carroll, Joe Ciere and Joe Ailingerg sport editors: ,lack Wayland, Dick Murphy and Pete Tracy.

We want to express especially our gratitude to Rev. Frank J. Griffin, SJ. whose expert skill and executive ability has coordinated all the available abilities and talents of outstanding Seniors and trained them to work together and produce this magnificent yearbook. The onerous but necessary task of signing contracts with Vantine's Studio of Boston, S.K. Smith of Chicago and Bradbury, Sayles, O,Neill Co., Inc. of New York was promptly and efficiently handled by Fr. Griffin. On Dec. 8th THE RENAISSANCE sponsored a Roller Skating Party at the Co-ed Rollerdrome in Allston where over 500 B.C. High boys and girls from local Catholic high schools and academies, spent a very en- jovable and profitable afternoon. On Dec. 23rd we had
