The journey ends . . It seemed like a long road we started down last Sep- tember when the administration complied with the sen- iors' request to replace the traditional student newspaper with a year-book. The confidence, however, of our jour- nalism advisor, Sister Mary Matthias, S.N.D., and the dedication of the staff, combined with the enthusiastic support of the student body, parents, loyal alumni, and the community have made the journey a pleasant one. Soliciting financial backing is the necessary first . step in yearbook production. Within three weeks follow- ing the announcement of the launching of the subscrip- 5 E Page 150 tion campaign to the community via the SAN DUSKY REGISTER and Radio Statior WLEC, the established goal was achieved. Because there had been little time to condi- tion the staff to yearbook publication proce- dures, trips to journalism conventions at Bowl- ing Green State University and the University of Detroit were arranged. At these sessions. ideas and plans began to crystallize. Enthusi- asm peaked. Upon our return, we plunged into the throe of actual production. First our cover had to b designed and submitted, then the photograp for the end-sheets had to be planned, taken and mailed to YEARBOOK HOUSE in Kansa City. Our first deadline loomed only too quickl on the horizen. Many evenings found us work ing feverishly in the BELL Office. We did mee the deadline. The second and the third dead lines came and went as the book began to tak shape. Forty-six pages, then 100, and then th Entire 152 pages were forwarded to Kansa ity. An undertaking such as the publication o an annual is bound to create memories. THE BELL 1966 was no exception: the day William Ubbens submitted his two-page drawing repre senting church, school, and community, the night Mr. John Ray and John Hinde huddled beneath an umbrella to photograph the school- building in the rain, the trips to Burkels' for our much-needed rations, the deafening din created by the simultaneous playing of a radio and a record player, the clatter of type-writers, and- the chatter of a talkative staff, and cer- tainly the most memorable experience - the friendships gained and strengthened. We have reached the end of our journey. If we have captured the spiritual, intellectual, and physical progress of SMH, its faculty and stu- dents, in this first volume, our destination was more than worth the rigors of the trek. Richard T. Faber Editor-in-Chief Acknowledgement The editorial staff extends a special note of gratitude to assistant staff members Virginia Ranseh, Carol Schenimer, Bonita Traut, Christine Will, Dan Ge-rold, and Eugene Krebs. because of their extraordinary ef- forts on behalf of THE BELL 1966.
