Immaculata High School - Guerin Yearbook (Washington, DC)

Immaculata's student body adds color and contrast to her portrait. Each person- ality, each class lends an individual tinge of color to the over-all picture. Freshmen offer enthusiasm, a cock-sure type of enthusiasm that as yet has found no object. They offer loyalty, a loyalty for which they have not yet found sufficient motive. Sophomores fonn the backbone of the student body. The freshman who once fin- ished her school day at 2:45 is now involved in more extracurricular activities than she can handle. She is bubbling with curiosity and interest in her class work and her school and finding each day a new outlet for her energy. When she reaches junior year, she finds she has more outlets than energy, she must cut down and strive for quality instead of quantity. Day by day she is becoming more and more an individual, separating herself from the crowd and choosing friends with similar interests. Sometimes she feels in- extricably lost and alone as she searches for her own identity and her own place in the sun. f By senior year, the sun is shining directly above her. She is now truly a part of the school, and she basks in its reflected glory and in the warmth of underclassmen's ad- miration. Ahead of her, however, lies a path which looks extremely cold and lonely, a readjustment to an entirely new way of life. She faces a blank canvas, but she faces it with the knowledge that she has left her mark on Immaculata's portrait.

Guerin Presents Impressions of lmmoculoto Early last spring, the newly-appointed Guerin staff met often to decide on the theme Hlmpressions of Im- maculataf' to plan various sections of the book, to de- sign the cover, and to begin raising funds for printing. When school began, much of the work had already been mapped out, but still much more lay ahead. As the fall progressed, so did the book, and as the days shortened, work hours lengthened. Pictures were care- fully planned, layouts designed, copy, captions, and heads written. Though the work had begun slowly, it gradually gained momentum until by December 10 everything was ready for the first deadline. More and more pictures, more and more layouts, more deadlines came until the work seemed never- ending. But the pages were completed one by one, the galleys and the final proofs were returned for correc- tion, and by May the staff could await the final result, an impression of Immaculata's portrait with its many, varied, and inter-lacing aspects of student life. Kate Carroll, editor-in-chief, proudly displays the 1962 cover design while the staff members work on other details. If a picture is worth a thousand wordsf' how much do the faces of Sally Idler, Ginger Santoro, and Jeanne Luberda say about this page plan?
