Working after school in the press room Alice Ladziak and Joan Ra- mos members of the Hilltopper stal listen attentively as they re- ceive their work for the day. Business Managers Pat McCabe and lanice Nagengast display the day ' s results of the Ad and Patron Drive. Each class did its share to help finance the Yearbook. Janice and Pat arranged the Ad and Patrons in the Hilltopper, which is a vital part of the publication. Each girl is given an opportunity to contribute to the success of the book through the sale of Ad and Patrons. This year ' s HILLTOPPER staff has tried to create a fitting tribute to the wonderful years we have spent at the Hill. Its members possess a singular spirit, which blazes forth from these pages. A wealth of sacrifices and innumerable good times were made all the more valuable by the fact that each and every memory will be shared by true friends who have profited from these experiences. The devotion they have given to the job is representative of the unique qual- ities of the senior class. The staff wishes to express its gratitude to three women who have participated in the responsibility and the delight of compiling our yearbook. We offer heartfelt thanks to Sister Albert, a moderator who gave of her self along with her invaluable advice. Our grateful ac- knowledgment is due to Sister Xavier, whose assistance to the Business staff was truly ap- preciated. We are also indebted to Sister Christopher, who can justifiably be titled Hon- orary HILLTOPPER Staff Member . This yearbook is so much more than a chron- icle of events. It is the heartbeat of a living, unified body. 62
