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

Page 51 text:

November brought some of the most mem- orable events of their Senior year to the three editors, Iudith Weber, Patricia Burke, and Mary Ann Kinsky, who with Essay editors, Bettie Schnacky and Ioyce Furlong, spent a weekend in Milwaukee for the National Catholic Press Convention. They came home full of plans and ideas, and fascinating ex- planations for the two-day delay in Chicago! At our Christmas Party, the center of at- traction was not the delightful decorations, nor even the delicious food, but the layout of the book which Mrs. Gunner and Mrs. Cronk brought with them from the Du Bois Press. Christmas vacation was spent preparing for the first deadline. Exams in Ianuary did not deter us from writing copy, taking pictures, proof reading and typing endlessly. The pages were gradually completed and our dreams of the book slowly moved into the realm of reality. Now, with our work over, and the finished '59 Palm in your hands, we hope it reflects truly the spirit of St. Agnes High. amd neconded.

lt's herel It's here! bubble the first ones to see the PALM of '59 arrive. These excited cries announce not only the long-anticipated arrival of our yearbook, but also the culmination of many months of hard work and pleasant memories for the Staff of '59, Back in September, we began our work in earnest with the annual Patron Drive, marked this year, for the first time, Seniors Only. Then, spurred on with the news that the '58 Palm had been rated All-American, All-Catholic, and Medalist, We began planning our Palm, hoping to produce as treasured a memory book as last year's. In October, two Staff Editors, Nancy Ritz and Kathleen Sheppard, proudly ac- cepted the First Place award for the '58 issue - a coveted mark of excellence from the Gannett Publications Conference, never before won by St. Agnes, MAISIE, THE PALM'S MASCOT this year, over- looks operations as some of the Business Staff, Mary Ann Lodato, Arlene Helget, Ioanne Rodman.
