literary magazine ANT BLASE DEN FIOCA DAVE FEELEY MARK ELKINS DAVE RIDDLE GIL POLSKY SAM FLAMMINI MR. MICHAEL WILSON BOB KEELEY STEVE SEDOR BAR ROSENBERG MIKE HAYES JACK TONTI HAR COSTELLO BILL BOYD The GIRAJRDIAN, as always has been a crea¬ tive outlet for students who wish to demonstrate their literary skills, and experience the satisfaction of having their work published. 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 —

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.

dramatic club GER BLASE BOB CASPER FRED CLAYTON BOB DUCKWORTH DAVE FEELEY MIKE GRACE MIKE HAYES MARCO MALANDRA GIL POLSKY STEVE SEDOR BARRY ROSENBERG MR. NORM SHERMAN From late Monday night Dramatic Club meetings came the ideas for such projects as X-rated movies and three act, two hour plays (with real girls). Although these revolutionary attempts never pro¬ gressed to their completed forms, the Dramatic Club did give its audience several finished produc¬ tions. Late in January the slightly delayed Christ¬ mas Play, The Secret Sharer, was given. The story of six British sailors aboard a cargo ship in the Orient found favor with many of the students who were tired with the usual Friday night thrillers. The Spring Play, Bury the Dead, was an anti-war play which hit the Girard stage expressing the feelings of most of its students. The members of the club sincerely appreciate the time and effort Mr. Norman Sherman provided to make rehear¬ sals both enjoyable and productive. — 24 —
