During an early morninq meeting iust before the Purple Patch deadline, Jeanne H., Mollie K., and Jack O. work to finish copy. The newspaper of our john campus, The Purple Patch, has become an increasingly important factor in school activities during the past year. In this, its second year of publication, the Patch has widened its scope of news coverage and doubled the number of members on its staff. The Purple Pntclz has served as a means of expresf sion for the entire student body of john Jay. The pro- duction of this bi-weekly newspaper is handled by students representing their respective classes. This pro- vides an opportunity for pupils interested in journal- ism to gain practical experience. The newspaper presents not only the activities of Purple Patch Editors: lSeatedl E.

It is made more interesting through its human interest qualities. The popular feature articles are Boy and Girl of the VVeek , Rock 'n' Roll Ro- mancesu, and Can You Imagine? The Purple Patch also serves to ,better our com- munity relations by informing the public of the many worthwhile activities of our school.

YEARBOCDK Many seniors this year were involved in the creation and production of John Jay 1959. At the annual yearbook conference in New York City, the co-editors, Linda Lewis and Burr VVallen, the Photography editor, Dick Sadai, and the Girls' Sports editor, Elaine Smith, attended a series of discussions in which the techniques for a good annual were presented to students from all over the countrv. By mid-November the separate com- mittees were deep in their work. Senior pictures were taken and copy was written. After the Christmas holidays meetings be- came more frequent until by the middle of February the staff met every afternoon to work on layout and copy and to argue over captions and editorials. Problems were met and dealt with - a policy of writing had to be set, a theme had to be created and followed, and pictures had to be lightened for correct contrast. Through all the hard work of long meet- ings and rushed days emerged our year- book, the story of our senior year at John Jay.
