Eyes o Photographers Encompass Total Sphere of Stnalent Involvement Yearhook photographer, lim Monaghan reflls his supply of developer to finish printing a few final pictures. To many people the key value of any publication is the quality of its photographs. Through experienced photo- graphers, elaborate processing and darkroom equipment and moderating of Br. Mackey, the photography staff of Brother Rice was able to excel in the quantity and quality of its pictures. From athletic events to Mothers Club programs the busy schedule of the photographer forces him to sacrifice much time and devote it to the business of picture-taking and developing. Filling a darkroom gap formed by graduation, camera- men Robert Burns, Ioe Monaghan, Doug Healey, Mike Gillis and Mike Iackson caught hundreds of diverse and unusual yearbook shots, mingled them with countless other 'lpixn and colored the Quest with intriguing action from all phases of school activity. Their newspaper counterparts, Joe and lim Monaghan, took fascinating photos of every news- making event. An innovation this year was the addition of 11 pictorial page to the Chieftain oiled with shots of lively activities, projects, tournaments of athletic achievement. This vast improvement was realized through the unend- ing and devoted sacrifice of the staff. By rising at a pre- dawn hour to capture a unique shot, or working late at night to finish a hnal print for a deadline, the publication cameramen mastered their profession with excellence. 127
