4 Halfmoon Tear 1 ■ 1 At the end of last year, the Yearbook staff was formed under the supervi- sion of Mr. Whitbeck. The officers of the staff, as chosen by Mr. Whitbeck. were: Co-Editors, Robert Smith and Marie Bucci; Assistant Editors, Madge Harvey and Ellen Connors: and Business Managers. Nancy Hughes and Dick Wells. The staff met during the summer and at that meeting an outline of this Yearbook was drawn up. The staff met again, early in the school year and decided that the class would try to have hard covers on the Yearbook. Later it was decided that the Senior pictures would be taken by the Gold-Tone Studios. The Yearbook staff sponsored the selling of magazine subscriptions from which the staff was to derive funds to pay part of the cost of the Yearbook. However, this drive was a total loss, as the school temporarily lost its school spirit. As the time for publication drew near, an important meeting was called of the staff at which it was acknowledged that having hard covers for the Yearbook would cost a great deal of money not anticipated in the budget. Therefore, this edition will not be bound in hard covers. We. the staff, feel that hard covers on a book do not make the book, but rather it is the value of the material on the written page that counts In view of this fact, we think that this Yearbook is perhaps the finest in the history of Mech- anicville High School. — Ci- llere the Editors and Business Managers of the Yearbook confer on page arrangement of the Activities section. Reading in the usual order we see Madge Harvey. Bob Smith. Nancy Hughes, Marie Bucci. Dick W'ells, and Ellen Connors. These members of the Staff exchange ideas about clubs and class news. Here are Laura Baker, Phyllis Heywood, Priscilla Iladdleton, Virginia Barnes, Gil Schermerhorn. Martin Dingman. Francis Baker and Ward Montgomery. These three girls do their bit by collecting pictures and compiling Senior activities. They are Betty Kurs, Joyce Mosher, and Marilyn Fay. In this group, sorting pictures for the Class pages, are Mary DeVito, Amin- da Miranda. Marcia Malone. Cecelia Palmer, Betty Pazzo, Mary Mercurio, Kate Ckrriero and Theresa Richards.
