As the Sceptre, Saint Mary's first yearbook, developed from an idea into reality, the class of '62 worked feverishly to present a true picture of life at Saint Mary's. From start to finish enthusiasm ran high. The literary staff met daily to discuss ideas, plan page layouts, and ponder over write- ups, sketches, and picture identifications. Page by page as the book was sent to the printer, and the copy completed, the staff felt the reward of long hours well spent. Carline Zumbano, Joanne Zajack, Ann Hajducsck. and Sandra Popowski prepare to distribute pictures to under- classmen. Florence Stolte, Rita Kaboski, Barbara Fabiszewski, and Diane Connie check receipts for yearbook payments while Margaret Reese submits payment. 25
