HISTORY opment during high school. Many more of us remained after school to participate in the increased number of extracurricu- lar activities. Theatre South attracted many sophomores to the spring production of Allegro. Barbara Gerstein as Emily the Nurse had a lead part in the play. Helfer, Sarney, Dolid and Deutsch engineered two Thursday night parties whose names escape us. Q Footsteps,'l Disk jockey Hop ?j All in all, a memorable beginning to our high school experience. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Roman Banquetl' and Mardi Grasn were not the names of our junior Prom. Despite this loss, juniors, senior boys and sophomore girls ate, drank, and were merry to the tune of Gary Wallrap's band, under the forty-foot Harbor Light. A fine turnout graced the efforts of co-chairmen jill Silver- man and David Gould, and officers Neil Gozan, Roger Gold- man, Renee Shiffer, and Alan Abramson. 1962-1963 found us again with no snow days and with debates over the fallout shelter in our basement, the name of our newspaper, and the Christmas Tree in the main lobby. Despite student opposition, all four remained. juniors, who unanimously agree that they were the best class in the school, led many of the teams, athletic and academic. Gallin and Mallimson won the tennis state doubles tournament, Gene Cohen was elected to the All-County baseball team, Betsy Harris, the first junior GQ O. officer in South's history, won the Latin Contest, juniors led the Math and Debate Teams, and Larry Taylor won the decathalon at the Port Invitational Track Meet just as Howie Steinberg had mapped it out in advance. juniors, who thought they had a rough time with Mrs. Cohen's vocabulary lists and Mr. Ross's Civil War tests, were faced with a battery of tough regents in june. f -NH' 'A' Lrfq-Lk rin lil qv., , , ,W i'1,,,-av , -fy: ,.- j vw -fa J.
