Radiator Staff This post yeor found the Radiator completely reorganized. Miss Olive MacPherson, who succeeded Miss Grace Gatchcll as faculty advisor, pleosontly ond efficiently supervised the management of the school maga- zine. Its popularity with the student body was evident in on overoge monthly circulation of seventeen hundred copies. This for exceeded all previous records. Each month was completely sold out, so that single copies were not available. A new experiment, co-editorship, proved to be very successful, prob- ably because it involved thot industrious, inimitoble, irrepressible team: Eleanor Ahern and Harvey Ginsburg. Among the mony changes feotured was the double column, whereby the staff wos able to present more moterial in each issue. The junior assistants, Celia Lindsay ond George Henderson, aided the editors in assembling the mogazine. Efficient Ralph Torullo contributed greatly to the interest of boys' sports with his cleverly written column, while the girls olso came into their own with Edith Nunzioto's chatty write-ups. The events of school social life were handled in a newsy man- ner by Edward Gerrish, and the music deportment wos represented by Catherine Tsotsi. The literary group, led by Elvio Knox, with assistants Shirley Goodwin ond Marilyn Smith, closs of 1941, provided us with many amusing stories and entertaining essays. The exchanges, more in- teresting than ever, were olive with the vibrant personality of Helen Cos- tas. Virginia Scott, a junior, and Elizabeth Guglietta produced poetry pages reflecting their own skill in writing and discriminating taste in the selection of contributed verse. Other graduating members of the staff are: Grace Loverty, Marjorie Moguirc, Anno Garabedian, Marie Kilbride, and Robert Estey. MISS FRANCES MSNDEll MISS OLIVE B. MocPHERSON
