OUR PILOT, WILLIAM J. LIEBTAG, IS CAUG THE PURPLE AND GOLD M you have been reading this annual, you have seen, vividly accounted, the pride and achievement of Power Memorial Academy through the last twenty-tive years. Although the Academy has copped many coveted trophies in its short career, its main source of pride and honor has been its pub- lications. You are now seeing the culmination of one main facet of the school's publications, the greatly innovated, spectacular Power 'S6. But the yearbook must share its laurels with its partner in the medium of the linotyped word, the Power newspaper, Purple and Gold. During the twenty-tive years, the Purple and Goldf' which is published eight times a year by the students of the Academy, has proceeded to greater fame and this year it has reached its zenith in its presentation of news that is fresh and palatable for all tastes, in its production of amusing, captivating and auxiliary features and, through its editorials, the Catholic view and position to national and international events. HT IN A RELAXING POSITION BEFITTING THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE PUR I :ffl pwfflyf! . rflW.:a, . I ff The Purple and Goldn has achieved this wealth of popularity and success only through the efforts of a capable staff. Under the skillful direction of its editor-in-chief, Wil- liam I. Liebtag, and through the planning and layout tech- niques of co-ordinating editors Michael Burke and Robert Fahey, the Purple and Gold, through the year, has con- sistently given the reader a fast-paced and thoroughly readable periodical. This year, as two years ago, the P 81 G was under the highly skillful moderation of Brother C. A. Conefrey and the photography department was greatly en- hanced by the adroit lens deftness of Brother H. A. Weigand and his competent staff. Many delightful innovations were inaugurated by the paper. Such novice columns as 'fOff the Recordl' and What Our Reviewer Says soon rose on the ladder of popularity and soon enjoyed the plaudits and laurels accorded to such regulars as mln Your Opinionw and Hwhisperingsf' Two of the most widely acclaimed additions to the award winning publication was the use of color in the special May alumni issue and the expansion of the paper to six pages in four of its eight issues. These and other evolutions could have occurred only with an extremely zealous editorial staff. PLE AND GOLD
