role of the student in today's world, the School Relations Committee investigated the attitudes of the Great Neck student by publishing the long awaited Student Public Opinion Poll. The Special Events Committee worked tirelessly in organizing the fall and winter dances and the spring picnic. Their long hours proved fruitful, as an estimated 1,500 students attended the three functions. Sincerely, David, Herb, Lesley, and Gene G.O. STORE: K. Pinnella, B. Bilda. GO.

Our Manhasset Valley Project gave many children a chance to learn, play and develop. Its successful completion demanded the unselfish effort of more students than any other project the G. O. has ever undertaken. Over five hundred students contributed their time to its success. This year the High School Bowl was enlarged to six meets so that every class could witness them. It is our hope that the league of Great Neck North, Port Washington, Roslyn and Man- hasset High Schools, will continue to function in future years. The Human Relations Club was also enlarged this year, as it adopted its study hall project for the tutoring of slower children. The club and the G. O. chose to send a letter of support to the many people contesting for the voting rights of the southern Negro. Throughout the year, the Assembly Planning Committee invited several speakers to discuss the

GUIDE POST NESTLED in that remote corner of the school politely known as The Cage,” an eager and industrious staff published the Great Neck Guide Post for the thirty-fourth consecutive year. In their three rooms garishly painted red, yellow, and blue (in hope that these colors would help dis- pel late-night gloom w'hen the deadline approach- ed) writers, editors, and sponsors scurried around, searching for some journalistic Nirvana, leaving behind them long trails of crumpled paper and streaming typewriter ribbon. Innovation was the key to the paper's stellar success. The election issue and the special issue examining academic freedom and the pressure for grades w'ere both Guide Post firsts. The cutting parody of the Great Neck Record revived the dusty tradition of April Pools Day. Even headlines were approached wdth imagination and wit. Who can forget that masterpiece Port Washes North Scholars In High School Bowl,' the product of an almost divine inspiration? The Guide Post editorial column started the year in a political tangle, supporting the election of Lester Wolff to Congress. Having thus bol- stered the local bastions of liberalism, the paper proceeded to comment incisively on everything from the quality of Great Neck teaching to drag racing down Polo Road. The sponsors, Mrs. Sheila Phillips, w»ho re- linquished her honored position after seven issues, and Mr. Henry Resnik W'ere vital to the workings of Guide Post. Besides offering their learned ad- vice and criticism, they often braved the winter nights to bring in supper to the huddled and ravenous staff. The editors, however, more than anyone else, must accept the plaudits and pundits thrown at them. They cooperated (perhaps conspired is a better word) to make this year’s Guide Post the most widely read periodical in the school, Lift magazine coming in a distant second. The paper will be hard pressed to replace such notables as David Nevins, genial and mild-mannered sports editor, Jon Sholle, whose Haiku Contest was her- alded by the longest publicity campaign in the history of the school, Andy Sparberg, three year veteran in the tribulations of scholastic journalism. Bob Keil, secretly know'n among his friends as the poet laureate of Great Neck North, and last but not least (although his diminutive size and unassuming presence might lead one to suspect otherwise) happy-go-lucky Editor-in-Chief Alan Senauke, whose task was to create a coherent newspaper out of monumental chaos. 20
