The usual disagreements go on of Brother john jorepla Donnelly, C.S.C., Modemlor, interferes in tbe work Of :be edizors. For the fourth consecutive year, the LANCE continued to supply information and entertainment for Holy Cross students. From the narrow confines of the Publications room, a hard Working staff under the direction of co-editors Bob johnson and Dave Fulton and moderator Brother John joseph Donnelly, C.S.C., turned out the year's six editions. The past year saw the inauguration of an eight page literary supplement. The new addition gave a great number of stu- dents an opportunity to see their creative efforts in print. Wide news coverage continued to provide a record of events for future reference. Regular features such as and here we have, What's the Answer? and The Inquiring Reporter remained a source of knowledge and amusement for in- terested readers. Coverage of various clubs and organizations was extended to a greater number of students. During the fall, the LANCE editors bravely ventured forth from the Pub to attend the journalism school of the Cath- olic Institute of the Press. The seven session course provided these hardy souls with a greater knowledge of newspaper techniques. The year's final issue, traditionally written by the departing Seniors, brought to a close a memorable year of frantic deadv lines, hurried rewriting, and confused copy. It is surely a credit to the school that the LANCE was published entirely on the school premises. Few schools can boast a printing department set up to take care of all the needs of a full-fledged and attractive publication. The thanks of the LANCE staff goes to Brother Thomas Burns and his student printers for the fine job they did in printing the paper, and striving constantly to improve the appearance of the paper and raise the level of its artistic standards. we 1-.Q-flfar ar: sw 2 'Q fair! its R. .z r of as mf, 5 , sr 5 . 4 I JN - R , I f Effie? .. fl mf 'I' R M A R We ' Y- g , If s..,,f :e .,.. 1 gg eggs, ,, M ,..,.M..,,, 4, , ,,,..,,.,W,M,,,.,r.A,,,..

96 CROSS A new school year brought with it the problem of commencing production of another yearbook. Last year's initial issue of the.CROSS had been well received by the students and faculty, and it was hoped that a new staff would be equal to the task of producing a volume of equal caliber again this year. After close to a hundred seniors answered the call for volunteers, and a staff list of approximately forty-five members was accepted, work on the annual began in earnest. Schedules were arranged for portraits for the three-hundred seniors with the DELMA STUDIOS of Manhattan. Their represent- atives set up a miniature studio in the art room and in a few short days the entire class had been photographed, with a minimum of class interruption. A few weeks later, the studio again returned and photographed the groups of underclassmen. Fifty-nine pictures were taken at this time. Meanwhile, the Publications office buzzed Cand frequently roaredj with the click of typewriters and confusion of the other staffs as they set about layout work and the identification of photos. Perhaps one of the most tedious of jobs fell to the Underclass Staff, whose job it was to check the identity and spelling of the twelve hundred names of underclassmen. They knew that there were bound to be errors in spelling, but they determined that they would be reduced to the smallest number possible. The Art Editor began his work on the pen and ink sketch of the school building and the Literary Editor began parceling out assignments for the various writeups. After careful deliberation and many doubts, the moderators and editors determined that the book would be arranged in a unique manner-completely according to departments, without the use of the usual divider pages, faculty section, social section or classroom section. Instead, they determined that the book would progress in an orderly fashion from department to department, including all activities-scholastic and social- pertinent to each departmental group. The dangers of such an organization of material were obvious from the start, but the desire to produce a book that reads from cover to cover as a single unified narrative was strong enough to carry the day. Some unforeseen difficulties did crop up, but we hope that they have been dealt with as gracefully as possible and that this issue of the CROSS will be a source of pleasure and inspira tion to all who come in contact with it.
