Colby edited clubs and other service and special interest groups, G. Leitch served as reporter and M. Fiorucci worked on the layout pages. L. Larn- bert, M. Holloway, and B. McLaugh- lin helped. The Staff gives special thanks to T. Paige and N.SChUlf2 who did sports reportgl to T. Hill, A. Cleall, M. Hallett, J.

K' 51 J v v-. FLIGHT '53 is particularly fortunate in having its own talented photog- raphers here on campus. Their work was done with the idea of catching as completely as possible the life and action of Westchester students and teachers in classrooms, on the field, in government, during club activities, and so on. The entire photographic process involving more than a hundred rolls of film was handled by Mr. Reilly and his camera crew. Kneeling are D. Golling, D. Wood, R. Taylor, and C. Chapman. Standing are Mr. Reilly, sponsor, C. Ander- son, M. Daniels, S. Allison, M. Hunt, and S. Rand. The iunior high was represented on the annual staff by G. Priebe, A Porter, J. Currie, N. Murphy, J. Stuffle, and M. Dragoo. They helped with nam- ing groups, contributed cartoons, and pasted up the iunior sportsnight page. D. Rachlow, L. Story and C. Caramanis typed miles of copy. They really needed retreads on their ribbons after they got through! I iQ j
