1! 'ff Mr. C. F. Humphreys Adviser to Puhlieations Brother H. A. Weigand Photography Adviser Power's journalists have a long and creditahle,record to mull over as the scholastic year 1954-1955 comes to an end. Much of this was accom- plished hy the perseverance of four men, jim Yorke, Editor of the Purple and Gold, jim Lyng, Editor of the Yearhook, Brother Harold A. VVeigand, Photographic Adviser and Mr. G. F. Humphreys, Adviser to the Puh- lications. The Purple and Cold appeared eight times this year, a record for the four-page, professional-looking newspaper. A completely revamped make- up, on the general style of the New York Herald Trihune, was effected hy Mr. Humphreys and Paul Mullaney, the Coordinating Editor. Headlines were made hrighter, columns crisper and the reporting of news and sports was handled in a mature manner. The final six-page edition of the paper included the results of the popular Senior poll, which was instituted hy the paper itself. Editorially, the Purple and Gold was a militant crusader for active morality. Leo Pipino, Yorke, Mullaney, and Lyng contrihuted edi- torials that upheld Marian activities, the Rosary devotions and active Chris- tianity, while uphraiding slanted news-reporting hy New York papers and government scandals, and analyzing military service requirements. The efforts of the staff and their Advisers has resulted in a paper that is adult, readahle and Catholic. The exciting addition of an 'ion the spot Editionl' of the P and C was another first for Yorke and company. Late sports and other news was mimeographed at the moment of occurrence and distrihuted to the students immediately. The Bulletinf as it was called, was enthusiastically received hy faculty and students alike. 1 The Yearhook needs little introduction. You have heen looking at the result of this yearfs work. Several thousand photographs, all taken hy the students on the staff under the expert guidance of Brother NViegand, and several tons of written material have gone into this effort. Color has heen used for the first time in Powerfs history, and the imaginative hands of Lyng, Frank Jones, Mike Kelly, Arsenio Martinez, photographers lim Lee, Marty Flanagan, Steve Creaux and Paul Sparr and Artist Steve Lvnch have made puhlication possihle. VVe hope you will like it. 1 Editorial Board of Publications.
