St Agnes High School - Palm Yearbook (Rochester, NY)

Page 57 text:

This spurred us on in the work of collecting in- formation, creating ideas, taking pictures, writing copy, tallying patrons and typing. We were deter- mined to make our book as treasured a possession as last year's. One of the most obviously new things this year is the name. For nine years the SAH Agnus Dei has held a respected place among high school an- v nuals. This name was not lightly put aside f-f especially by the upperclassmen who hate to break the tradition. However, maturely considering the meaning of Agnus Dei - the Lamb of God, Christ. our Lord-we could see that a less irreverent and more significant title was desirable. Knowing K where we could find wise and kind counsel, we asked our Bishop to suggest a new name and his very first - ,f ,f - title was one which had also occurred to some of the students - The Palm. St. Agnes is often shown holding a palm, the sign of her martyrdom, and the palm branch is, as 1-Q if S- t Y- gs ew 'K well, a symbol of peace and of victory. So with this EVERLASTINGLY WRITING COPY and counting words takes triple significance We the Hrst palm Staff proudly .ip much of the time of these busy members of the editorial staff: Carol Specksgoor.

THIS LAYOUT IS DANDYV' says Sister Mary lohn to lean Trainor, as Kathleen Rich, Suzanne McGlynn and Sharon Cvrinnan agree. 52 sa 1, ,L - ' Although each brand-new yearbook staff is as- tounded at the entirely new job facing it, surely this year we had more newnesses than any other staff since 1948! A very pleasant one was having four members attend the N.S.P.A. Convention in Chicago last summer. They acquired valuable training, our mas- cot Honey and some new clothes! In September we had to replace our photographer Tom Casey, who has given his complete time and talents to God as a Iesuit brother. To help compensate for this loss, the Fathers' Club generously presented us with a press camera. Our patron drive-in the midst of that flu epidemic-was sparked by an enthusiastic pep rally which included a life-size Honey, and the cheering news of journalistic awards for the 1957 yearbook. NOW LETS GET THIS COPY TYPED! We have a deadline to meet, pleads Margaret Mary Miller and Barbara Sorochty while Ruth Maier and Teresa King fcenter rowl, loyce Beideck and Diane W Hauck ffront fowl finish their assignments.

ONE WORLD AT ST. AGNES - Enacted by members of the History Club this highly popular assembly program depicted the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Here Mary Antrobus plays the part of an inquisitive little girl who begs Granny, Carol Santee. to tell her the story of America. Representing the contributions of Lithuania to the United States, singers Nijole Norkus, Regina Poskus,Amelia Choromanskis and Milda Iuodvalkis appeared in their lovely native dress. Qubs are on Qot 06 wonle Many of our after-school interests are focused on the clubs with their various projects. Unlike the other clubs at St. Agnes, the Library Club does not hold meetings. The main purpose of the organization is to provide service to both faculty and students. Stamping books, filing cards and reshelving books are all a daily service of these girls who so readily give up their study halls several days a week to serve us all in the library. Our Timon Club, the history departments after- hours extension, is one of the most active or- ganizations. Among its many diversified and popu- lar projects are trips to the art gallery, museum and historical homes of Rochester. About once a month Sister Edwardine and her girls make visits to these various landmarks. They also exert time and talent preparing history programs for assembly. TIMON CLUB EXCURSIONS WERE FAMOUS! As a sample, here at the Susan B. Anthony House lwhere they arrived in time for Miss Anthony's birthday teall are Roslyn Manzella. Mary Kay Ehman, Teresa Cupolo.
