Overcoming scheduling and sponsoring difficulties, it soon became one of the mo:t popular dubs in the school. Claiming membership in the fifties, it has had the dubious distinction of once drowning out an air raid siren by it j melodious activities. David Spiegel and Michael Cogan, of the Debate team, fared quite well at the Columbia University tournament on March 9. The topic was a common market for the West. 26

GUIDE POST THU Great Keck Guide Pott rolled triumphantly off the presses twenty-two times during its thirty-third consecutive year of publi- cation, continuing to live up to its self-proclaimed reputation as the liveliest school newspaper on the east coast and the deadliest compila- tion of satire west of the Throg's Neck Bridge. It was a year marked by many new peaks of wit and irony, as well as by valleys of journal- istic school spiritedness; it was a year that began with the introduction of a new flag, and ended with the exodus not only of the editors, but of the faculty sponsor. Guide Post began showing signs of the new positive” outlook that its editors regarded with a mixture of pride and embarrassment as soon as it first issue appeared with what some unkind critics described as a flag scribbled on with a magic marker. Actually the flag was a near-perfect product of months of conscientious design research by the dedicated Committee of editors and authorities in the fields of typography, esthetics, the Village Voice, reading instruction, popular opinion, and magic markers. Unfortunately the design was intended only as a prototype for the finished model, but due to the onrushing deadlines, was adopted before the final product of the Committee’s work was completed. After three issues the even newer flag was put into service, with highly gratifying results. The Committee then turned its attention to improvement of the editorial content of the paper, and produced, after more months of intensive research and develop- ment, the prototype for a new editorial approach to feature material. This approach was initiated on a trial basis and brought widespread response so overwhelmingly favorable that the Committee resumed its deliberations immediately with a view to perfecting the system so that it might be employed regularly at romc time in the future. Not content to confine their efforts to providing ever-finer service to their readers, the editors of Guide Post nobly raised their eyes to the higher horizons of their responsibility to all mankind. After telling Messrs. Derounian, Rockefeller, Barnett, Kennedy, etc., what they thought of them, the editorial staff dug into their own office to provide space for the collection of books to be sent to Kenyan students strug- gling to learn English. In their eagerness to learn Western culture, bright-eyed Mau-Mau members studying under former Great Neck teacher Richard Peiffer threatened to boil him for supper if he were not ransomed with a goodly supply of the right kind of paperback books. Springing to the call, the Guide Post forwarded nearly a thou- sand books. When the first Guide Post arrived, Mr. Peiffer narrowly escaped frying. But Guide Post's flamboyant year ended on a sober note. Unable to bear the thought of losing the companionship of such inimitables as modest Mike Pawel, agreeable Arthur (call me Arty ) Kaplan, Toll to bottom—M. Pawc-1. Editor-In-Chief. A Kaplan.
