The Zlaeartbstnns Hearthstone Staff: First Row-F. D. Turchik, F. Mathews fEditor-in-Chiefl, Fr. Joseph Murphy, D. Jensen, R. Veltri. Second Row-H. Humphrey, E. Martin, C. Fox, R. Peck, J. Fusaro, J. Coss. . . . That's all for today, boys. Remember-this section has to be ready to give to the printer soon, so work hard during the week! Such was the familiar cry of THE HEARTHSTONE'S moderator, Father Joseph Murphy. The staff did work hard-putting out a good yearbook requires a lot of hard work. It means planning the book, it means getting the pictures, it means getting stories and facts about people and places, it means getting material written and in the printer's hands on time, it means that every member of the staff must give of his time to participate in the unity and teamwork which are necessary for the production of a good yearbook. Early in the year, the members of the Literary Staff elected Fran Mathews to the post of Editor-in- Chief, and Bill Keavy Assistant Editor. George Gard- iner was appointed Photographic Editor. Then the assignments were given out: the write-ups, the diary, the theme, the various school activities and sports, pictures had to be taken, pages had to be planned, proofs had to be read, and many other small chores had to be done. While all this was going on, the Business Staff, under the guidance of Rev. Mr. Reddy, was keeping itself busy collecting the money and getting the ads which would help to pay for the book. The theme of our yearbook is the anniversary of the death of Saint Francis Xaxier, the great Jesuit priest. He died iust 400 years ago, in 1552. This year's HEARTHSTONE has been dedicated to Very Rev. Joseph D. FitzGerald, S.J., the Rector of Fair- field University. A feature of the book is the initia- tion of color on sixteen of the pages. Another novelty this year was the presence of several members of Rev. Mr. Reddy and staff members tally subscriptions

the Junior Class on the staff to gain experience for next year. The senior section of THE HEARTHSTONE was in the printer's hands shortly after the New Year. The activities and sports followed a month or so later. By the time March rolled around, when the ads and incidental pages were in, we were able to sit back and relax, while waiting for the fruits of our labor to be harvested. Actually, we had a lot of fun working together on this proiect. Many years from now we will thumb rf Consultants for the printer, Mr. Daviadott and Mr. Mc- Guire, work with the staff.
