. . . The Magnet In T0day's Catholic Press YEARBOOK Picture schedules. impossible deadlines and the never to be forgotten dummy are but a few of the recollections of the once weary yet exultant Yearbook Staff. Under Nicholas Vescios skillful direction a graphic picture of four years of high school memories grew out of mysterious scrawling, brain storms of weary copy writers, the indispensable type-writers, tireless eilorts to decipher the Editors orders, Russell Bostwicks endless cutting of pic- tures, and Sister M. Euphernias guidance in every type of work. The selection of our theme, Vile can change the world, Peace through Christian living , arose from a deep realiza- tion of the worlds drastic need for more Christian living. more Christian action, in order to effect a lasting Christian peace. Joyce Pickelmann, john Neuerberg, Williani Yule and -losephine Escalera sort out pictures to be used on the pages of the annual. Russell Bostwick prepares pictures for the engraver. His infernal picture cutting with the aid of Father Roach's Clearoscope has become a legend among the Yearbook Stall. Yearbook Editor in Chief. Nicholas Vescio. points out the details of the dummy to part of the Yearbook Staff. Patrick McDonnell, Frances Perez, Patricia Federico. Carmen Hoffman. and Hazen McDonnell. They all hope their theme will be realized in the years to come. --a DJ
