Great Neck North High School - Arista Yearbook (Great Neck, NY)

Page 33 text:

Arista is a combination of many things. It's the students who participate in school activities throughout the year, the classes and their various functions, and, too, it's the time and efforts of the students who work on its various staffs, compiling events of the past year so that, in times to come, readers can look back and see why high school really was one of “the best times in their lives.” Long before school opened in September, Production Manager Maddie Fried and Editor-in-Chief Binnie Berlind, started composing an artistic layout for the book. They drew in boxes for pictures, boxes for copy, and places for art work. Then, Meg Lewiston, Copy Editor, started her staffs on their jobs. Wendy Doniger and Dick Katzive, Co-Activities Editors, were responsible for seeing that every club and class function was written up. They sent their staff members scuttling all over the school finding out what the various clubs were doing. Senior Section Editors Binnie Harris and Nancy Meckler had to condense every activity of every senior into postage stamp size. Girls' and Boys' Sports Editors, Janet Comer, Linda Droves, Gary Goldberg, and Billy Tucker, sleuthed around at all sporting events, recording spectacular plays, scores, etc. Arthur Ziff and Jackson Storm, Co-Photography Editors, used Arista as an excuse to get into all the school functions. After they finished taking their pictures, Barbara Greer and Sue Osier dug deep into their collective repertoire of puns and cliches for clever captions while Sue Orenstein and Debby Steinberg tried to identify the owners of disembodied shoulders, shoes, and sideburns. After all the copy was completed, it was handed over to fleet-fingered Bob Lande and Janet Kunreuther, to be typed into understandable English. The first miles of hiking and soliciting con- vinced Advertising Editors Bruce Burns and Sue Ash that despite gloomy political prophecies, there were still quite a few small businesses left. Betsy Hamerslag and Elaine Fastenberg, Publicity Editors, directed the Arista Sales Skit and made “futuris- tic posters to assure Business Manager Judy Stein that Arista would be in the black. Art Editor Marge Mandell composed the more artistic side of the book, while spon- sors Mr. Booke, Mr. Davis, and Mrs. Armstrong patiently took on all calamities with the maxim, It happens every year.

BUSINESS MANAGER: Mike Orenttein EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Mel Levine An extraordinary and elite race peoples the Cage—a race indirectly descended from John Peter Zenger and a rickety old typewriter. The independence and nonconformity of this race is obvious immediately on entering the Cage. Think,” Accuracy, proclaim the walls. Some- one has eaten the editorial! proclaim the editors. The People of the Cage live in a state of perpetual misunderstanding, owing to the fact that one can never quite understand what any- one else is saying because of the din produced by Barbara Schiffman's typing staff. At the far end of the Cage hallway is a small but ominous little room. In it, Editor-in-Chief Mel Levine, who is addicted to pizza, Sponsor Mr. Jack Fields, who hates pizza, and Associate Editor Don Fine, SPONSOR: Mr. Jack Fields 30
