Fordham University School of Education - Grail Yearbook (New York, NY)

The publication of a Yearbook demands much ingenuity, patience and cooperation on the part of those who hold responsible positions on its Staff. The 1948 Grail Staff has not been lacking in any of the above qualities, and it is the wish of the Editor that this page be devoted to the recognition of those who have contributed to mak- ing this book an actuality. We started working together as a Staff back in November with the selection and approval of Morning and Evening Session Associate Editors. Mr. Frank P. Jay was appointed Moderator and we immediately started interviewing printers and photographers. We soon had selected Delma Stu- dios to do the photography work, and the Robert W. Kelly Publishing Co. as our printer and en- graver. While Seniors were making appointments for pictures with june Callow, Walter House was busily mimeographing subscription blanks, pledge and booster slips. With Father Barnett's permis- sion we went on an active selling campaign and made our headquarters at a booth in the lobby. It was over a bottomless cup of the BfG's coffee that we decided to conduct a raille and within four days Ann Rossi and Walter House had made and distributed the chance books, Connie FRANK P.

EVENING STUDENT ORGANIZATION The purpose of the Evening Student Organization of the School of Education is two-fold. The group acts as a medium for cooperation between the Morn- ing and Evening session and serves as the coordinat- ing body of all Evening student activities. An executive meeting of the new officers together with Mr. Leo Kearney, Moderator, was held on October 1, 1947. The ofiicers of the year were as follows: President, john Lundyg Vice-President, Doris De Gall, Secretary, Margaret Sniderog Treasurer, Frances Cassey. Early meetings were concerned with promoting a membership drive and compiling an activity calendar for the year. Olive Newton, President of the Student Council, and john Kearny reported to the Evening Students in regard to the Student Council's work for the year. Olive asked the group to nominate two alternates to the Council. Elections were held on November 24, resulting in two new alternates: Lee Painton and Arthur Berger. LEO I. KEARNEY Moderator Following this was the Christmas Party at which contributions were made for Friendship I-louse. On january 5, the finished constitution was accepted with the approval of Father Hooper. Plans were made for the Annual Communion Breakfast to be held in February. Ramon Servito was appointed Chairman and Father Gerard Walsll, SJ., accepted the invitation to speak. Both the Retreat and the Breakfast were the most successful in the history of the organization. First row: Rita Vallard, Frances Casey, john Lundy, Doris DeGall, Margaret Snidero. Second row: Lucy Andreoli, Elinor Andreoli, Lee Painton, Fernand Perreault, Lydia Peracci, Ann Cappelli, Rosemary Dillon. Third row: Bob Keeschan, john Kearney, Charles Hickey, Duke Forrio. 61

Betty O'Keefe had assigned her write- ups to Morning Session Seniors, and they had started coming in too. Frank Cooke took over the Circulation Department since Walter House had graduated in February, and Ann Rossi was found compiling weekly financial reports for the Mod- erator and Dean. Kay McKeever's living room resembled one big wastepaper basket from which necessity selected the line Cuts herein displayed, and the opera Parsifal took on greater signifi- cance for all concerned with the Grail theme. As time ran out and our deadline neared, Lil- lian Lappano was found typing eighty pages of copy in three days. Lee Painton's week-ends were spent in dodging cliches and writing write-ups. june Callow was rushing around identifying faces with names and Ann Rossi was still accepting money for subscriptions, patrons and boosters. Mr. jay's perfunctory visits to the office found him quietly reading copy amidst all this confusion. And so we have come to the end of a year's work, from which has emerged this book, this Grail for the Senior Class of 1948. We who had the responsibility of compiling and editing this book realize its many limitations, but we believe that this book will have a lasting value if it only serves as a reminder of the years we spent together in the School of Education.
