TIYSTTITTTTT STATT The OysTereTTe STaTT oT T947 was chosen by a popular voTe oT The senior c'ass. The sTaTT was supervised by lvlr. KenneTh PeTrie. who has also TaiThTully and earnesTly Taken charge oT The Two previous yearbooks puT ouT by QysTer Bay T-ligh School, EdiTor-in-chief, Bea Masini, and Business Manager, Jane Winner, were supporTed by The hardworking sTaTT oT Angeline Aloisio, Eileen BelsiTo, EThel BernsTein, CharloTTe Bur- roughs, Nancy Church, AlTred Connolly, Doris Cooley. GerTrude Davis, Marie Ferrera, James GenTilcore, STeTanie T-lerliTz, Fred Jackson, .loan Keen, Lillian MacDonald, Nancy Malony, Bud Maxwell, John lvlessera, Theodore Summers, Don- ald SuTherland, Nellie Zandbergen, and David Zeller. This sTaTT wiTh Their ediTors and advisor worked hard Trom The beginning monThs oT school up unTil The Time ThaT The yearbook was disTribuTed. Their problem was To see ThaT The righT picTures were Taken and ThaT all copy To be included in The yearbook was wriTTen and senT inTo The pub- lisher by a seT daTe. The yearbook plan ThaT was seT up called Tor deTiniTe spaces To be seT aside Tor picTures and Tor wriTe-ups oT a speciTied number oT words. The sTaFT had To see ThaT They had a picTure or a wriTe-up To TiT each oT These spaces, iT They wanTed To be assured oT a balanced book page. All oT These Things gave The OysTereTTe sTaTT many a headache, buT one by one These prob- lems were solved and a year book was produced oT which They are all very proud. The OysTereTTe STaTT oT 1947 sincerely hopes ThaT all oT The yearbooks in The TuTure will be as successTul and as much Tun To make up as Theirs was. They also hope ThaT whoever has charge oT The yearbooks in The TuTure will have as much TaiTh and paTience as did lvlr.
