Gerard Sweeney with the aid of our principal, Mr. Joseph Tosches. Our first meeting was held in late November, at which meeting Mary Mastroianni and David Whelen were chosen co-editors. Chosen as photo editor was Zita Speroni. Other officers chosen were Patricia Beccia and Peter Murray, business man¬ agers and Joan Pilla and Carol Gandolfi, literary editors. Joseph Apicella was chosen -sports editor. Mr. Sweeney was present at all meetings to guide us and offer sug¬ gestions. We were faced with numerous prob¬ lems, such as taking pictures and choosing divisional for our yearbook, but our major nroblem was that of raising ample funds for the printing and publication of the book. Zita Speroni, our adept photo editor, made arrangements with Morin’s Studio to visit Patty bongo, Patty DeMarchi, Mary Mastroianni and Sandra Feccia look through an encyclopedia for new ideas for the O.L.I. the high school and to have pictures taken at various times throughout the school year. The committee decided that instead of carrying out a theme, we would have divisional pages depicting sports, activities, underclassmen, and seniors. When the money problem arose we had many ex¬ cellent suggestions offered to us. Among those carried out was a candy sale from which we reaped a good profit. Other money-making aids were the intermittent food sales — to which under classmen contributed — and our annual soliciting of the town merchants along with our house- to-house canvassing. 18 —

The Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee The O.L.I. committee was formed in early October. The editors were chosen and the other small committees that would help publish the book were also chosen. At the first meeting each member was given a bag of candy to sell. Senior write-ups was the subject of the following meeting. A committee was chosen to do the write-ups of the seniors. In the meetings that fol¬ lowed, food sales were discussed, another candy sale, and the formation of the book. The committee was very active in the food sales, the candy sales, and the sponsorship advertisements. After our two editors, Mary Mastro¬ ianni and Dave Whelen, were chosen, work began. The write-ups for seniors was to be our first accomplishment who were done by Peter Murray, Joanne Besozzi, Carol Gandolfi, Joan Pilla, Anne Ablondi, Bar¬ bara Pvne and Joyce Creasia. However, club write-ups were assigned to many others. Joanne Paradiso, Patty Longo and Miss Pyne keep records of advertising money for the O.L.I. If you were on the O.L.I. Committee and also on some other committee, you were obliged to do its write-ups. Food sales, candy sales and spon¬ sorship ads were a means for the forming of our year book. Food sales were held usually on Friday during the lunch period in the cafeteria. By May the book was put together and just about complete. It was ded¬ icated to Dr. John J. DeSalvia, a teacher who is admired by all students for his wisdom, knowledge, and wonderful sense of humor. In June each senior received his copy of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy with pride, inside was recalled the happiest four years of his life. — 19 —
