Hackenburg, J. Kauffman, R. Kirby, B. Buschel, E. Johnson To attempt squeezing the course of eight to twelve years within a meager sixty-four pages is indeed a difficult task. All the happy memories mixed with a few sad moments, nearly forgotten faces clouded w ith the rose-tinted haze of sw ' eet remembrance, and the trying years to manhood, must be recreated in w-ords and pictures. This challenging task was shouldered by co-editors George Egler and Thomas J. Keenan with the invaluable guiding hand of the sponsor, Mr. Clement Valletta. Although we had no actual experience in the creation of a yearbook, we gradually learned fom experience how much thought, planning, and plain hard work were required to produce a yearbook worthy of our heritage as Girardians. Our staff of writers, Joseph Flaherty, James Poncavage, Ronald Kirby, Charles McCullough, Jesse Hackenberg, and Bruce Buschel tried to present the material in a clear vivid style. Without the dependable efforts of our competent printing advisors, Otto Peters and Robert Norton, the Corinthian could not have been transformed from an idea to a concrete publication. The pictures were taken by John Dutchman and Morgan Hancock. Without a doubt, the photography is one of the most vital factors in the success or failure of a yearbook’s effectiveness. Much work was done by the business managers, Jack Kauffman and Steven Heimowitz as well as by the art directors. The Corinthian staff would sincerely like to thank Mr. M. Arnold Daffin and the seniors of the Print Shop for the outstanding contributions they made to make our book a reality and ever present reminder of those days at Girard. • ( 14 j

Oiranl News First Rou, Left to Right: B. Buschel, R. Achmoody, G. Paulson, A. Morgan, G. Crumling, C. Riddle Second Row: J. McCullough, P. Newton, A. Cohen, G. Shuss, G. Pishko, H. Romans, J. Ce.ot, T. Hill, Mr. A. Daffin Third Row: J. Kauffman, D. Perkins, J. Poncavage, R. Kirby, V. Bialoskurski, W. Maholick, E. Brown, B. Shockowitz Forth Rou : G. Egler, S. Brandschain, M. Zerbe, C. McCullough, A. Sto ' ckburger The Girard News distinguished itself by its varied and interesting material. This was the pro¬ duct of persistent effort under the capable editorship of Bernard Shockowitz and James McCullough. Under the guidance of Mr. M. Arnold Daffin, who doubled as writing and printing sponsor, the boys made the News a great success. Assisting Mr. Daffin and the editors were: Stephen Brand¬ schain and Albert Cohen associate news editors, and Fletcher Brown, sports editor. For the first time in many years, the Girard News was a complete student responsibility. After the students had written the material, it was up to the editors and not a sponsor to edit the articles. Because of this experiment, the News did not publish as many issues as it would have wished. Assured of being a student publication, each issue of the paper was one of the highest quality, representative of the student body. Talent Show Delights Audience” and Mr. MacGregor Appointed High School Principal” were only two of the many headlines found in this year’s issues. Two articles which have always delighted its readers were Allenite and Junior Highlights.” This year again the News was faith¬ ful with these selections. Many a boy was amused at their occasional humor and wit. Special men¬ tion must also be made of the sports section. There was excellent coverage of all athletic events. The articles always gave credit to the individuals and team that deserved recognition. There was a great response from the reporters who form the backbone of any good publication. The outstanding quality of Girard News could not have been at all achieved without the untiring efforts of the photo¬ graphers, Charles Riddle and Alfred Morgan, in ad¬ dition to the hardworking printing advisors Gary Paulson and Victor Bialoskurski. 15 j
