Dever Compiling a yearbook is literally a full year’s work. In it must be captured eight to twelve years of smiles and tears, happy memories and sad moments, nearly forgotten faces and never-to- be-forgotten accomplishments. Words and pictures must depict our trying years to manhood. This challenging task fell on co-editors Ernest Crane and John Wallace, who were constantly spurred on by Mr. MacGregor, our faculty sponsor. Through experience, we gradually learned how much thought, planning, and hard work are required to produce a yearbook worthy of the name Corinthian. Articles on sports and activities were edited by Joseph Miegoc and Jay Silverman, respectively. The actual writing was done by James Bennett, Robert Dever, David Kornacki, Joseph DiPietro, William Lockard, Frank Fioca, Godfrey Torquati, John Gill, Dean Wessner, Chuck Pardue, Thomas Dwyer, Jeffrey Thomason, and Anthony Thissen. The photography staff, directed by Edward McGuckin, and the art staff, headed by Karl Wolbach, again provided the illustrations so necessary to an interesting yearbook. Business manager Daniel Sims and Thomas Martini performed the necessary paperwork to keep us above water financially. It was our printing advisor, Garry Norton, who, along with the seniors in the print shop, transformed the book from an idea into a concrete publication. To them and to Mr. Daffin go our sincerest thanks for making our Corinthian a reality. We know that in the year s to come we shall find much pleasure in the memories depicted in these pages. -{ 8 ! '
