Vvoric on the hook was begun eariy and pro- ceeded at a rapid rate. Various g ups oi Seniors were assigned their tasics, an the Biue and Goid ieit the formative stages behind. Many hours were spent iong after the finai echoes of students died Within the deserted corridors, as weeicends and hoiidays were sac- rificed hy a few members of the staff. Special mention must he made of Brother Stephen, the Year Booic moderator. His energy, aiready diffused in other La Saiie activities, permeated the entire project and was the prod- ding force responsihie for this puioiication.
