S Yr, ilu B.-1 S l ,gi . --H-r W... if P. Gilmour, editor J. Rosenhauer, J. Harrington, T. Minogue, and J. Thompson dis- cuss ideas from other yearbooks that might be applicable to the CRUSADER. ln late September of l959, Br. W. V. Dennehy began preliminary work on the first Brother Rice High School yearbook. James Rosenhauer was chosen Editor-in-chief, and he in turn chose Robert J. Egan as Assistant editor. They quickly organized an eager staff of interested iuniors and seniors, and hurriedly began their work. The iob of initiating tradition required, as always, considerable consideration and planning before actual work could begin. When it did, the pace was frantic. Much of the co-ordination work was done at the many three-minute meetings held during the lunch breaks. As the deadlines approached, the after- school meetings gradually extended to five or six hours. Weekends were hectic. Eventually, domestic life was obliterated, and the staff, half- crazed, resigned themselves to a sleep- less, relentless race to finish. The motivation for such activity was the challenging prospect of crystallizing and capturing the memory of our last four years at BRHS. The book was intended to be a memento of that cardinal chapter in our lives, and to be a moument to the limitless generosity made manifest by so many of our students, parents and faculty members. It was intended to be a constant reminder of the people and scenes so familiar to us. . . to recall to our minds joys and sorrows of our high school lives, to be a handbook for remembering .... lf this, then, was our chosen end, this book is our means. We present it to you with the hopeful confidence that we have done what we can do to evoke the melancholy spirit of the past .... May he serve you well. isa---t J. Kane, T. Blanchfield, P. Bonelli, J. Walsh and F. Daily seek inspiration while writing yearbook captions. R. Hoffman, H. Zwirn, Br. Dennehy, T. Stefonick and J. Lithgow work on the layout for the yearbook.

5, 'Q..k, e 132 lll-rag 'F-. .Vg W- vl 'W' PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The members of the Photography Club, since its foundation this year, have striven to increase their artistic as well as their technical abilities in the field of photography. With the assistance of the guiding light of the darkroom, Brother McRae, the members have become proficient in developing, printing, enlarging and in numerous other darkroom techniques. Photography, however, does not rely entirely upon technical knowledge. The members, therefore, strive to develop aesthetic value in their work. To further their z artistic talents, the members gain a ' working knowledge of posing, composition and the effects of different forms of lighting. During the past year the members have furthered their aims by practical work for the newspaper and the yearbook. They are remembered as omni-present at social and sporting events through- out the year. The recurring refrain: Head up, hold it, one, two, three. . . . lingers in memory. Part of much to be remembered. . . T 1 2 The photo club's moderator, Br. J. A. McRae, is shown demonstrating the use of an enlarger to R. Paul. . . A R. Houlba supervises the final stages of development of one of the pictures from the International Revue. J. Gregis, R. Paul, D. Dillion and E. Houlba are conducting an interesting discussion of the merits peculiar to various makes of cameras.
