Girard College - Corinthian Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

Page 26 text:

If this year’s CORINTHIAN attempted to create an unusual approach to the year book, then, hope¬ fully, the 1971 edition will be a continuation. The ideas begun by the staff of the 1970 book have been borrowed, at times enhanced, sometimes sim¬ ply confused, and frequently improved. Perhaps it is the nature of an annual to reap con¬ fusion; perhaps it is the nature of the staff to en¬ gender that confusion. Nevertheless, with a multi¬ tude of false starts, too many promises, and a fun¬ damental belief that somebody will do it,’’ the 1970 CORINTHIAN has been completed. At times, faced with either lethargy or a dearth of material, the staff looked towards the gloomy pro¬ spect of not producing a yearbook or simply pre¬ senting a list of those seniors graduating (and where they might be found). While such a di¬ rectory may have had a pragmatic approach, it would not have had that inestimable quality from which memories are taken. Since few others seemed interested in the final re¬ sult, it is not so much that the editors should be held responsible for what appears here; rather, it is to their credit that they completed what is here at all.

The GIRARD news began the year covering the M-Day protests with a fervor few would have an¬ ticipated a year ago. Editors Joe Pillo and Fred¬ rick Clayton not only told ir like it is,” they also managed to escape the carping scrutiny of censor¬ ship. With an altered lay-out, new balance in re¬ porting, and a continuing Letters to the Editor controversy, the NEWS aroused the interest of everone, but most particularly of the Seniors.

Throughout the year the ma gazine staff attempted to extort wor¬ thy short stories and poems from our small student body. After much hard work the 40-page girardian became a reality. Thanks must go to faculty sponser Mr. Michael Wilscn for his valu¬ able advise and assistance. An organization with one of the most demanding schedules on campus, the Photography Club is a major contributor to Girards’ publications. This year’s Corinthian layout confronted the Club with a new challenge, that of being able to sup¬ ply the book with enough really good shots of people, places, and things associated with our stay at Girard to make an interesting book. ERIC ENGWALL ED MULLEN DOUG JESSER KEN SETZER Quality and quantity began to lag as the publica¬ tions’ demands for pictures increased, and the lack of supplies, equipment, and effort became evident as the year progressed. Working right up to the deadline, the Club managed to get its photos in, just as the school year expired. — 23 —
