INDEPENDENCE HALL ' PHILADELPHIA HE theme of the 1950 Lafayette High School year book is education for a strong America. It is fitting in this day of confused ideals to realize the intelligence and strength of preceeding generations in building our great country and of the imperative need for education which will enable American youth not only to adjust to a rapidly changing world, but to carry on the vital plans of the great Americans of the past. 5 DEDICATIQN O Miss Geneva O. Bellinger, who has shared with students her pleasure in learning and whose graciousness and sincerity have endeared her to all, we lovingly dedicate this yearbook. 'A' 'A' i' MISS GENEVA O. BELLINGER 'k 'A' 'A' 7 We think of Miss Bellinger often. We know that, as long as such people give years of their lives to our school, we may oe proud of the past and hopeful of the future. Naturally, we are honored that she rememoers us. Bellingra Suis Discipulis Superiorum Dierum S. D.

HIMMELE Assistant Principal CONGRATULATIGNS . . CLASS OF 1950 i950 is a noteworthy year marking the turn of the Mid-Century, and l950 will D0 a year ot worthy note for all the memuers of the Senior Class as they turn to the pursuits for their adult lives. To all the Seniors, we extend the best of wishes for the fulfillment of their hopes and amoitions in the coming years. May they meet the challenge of this last half of the century with strength and good courage. l2l FACULTY QTES respected members of the Lafayette faculty - Miss Spurr, senior home room teacher and member of the social science department: Miss Goldstein, teacher of French and Spanish: Miss Chamberlain, teacher of English and freshman home room teacher: Miss Bellin- ger of the classical department: and Mr. McGowan, mem- ber of the mathematics department and coach of the i tennis team. we shall not soon forget their helpful cooperation and stimulating influence, their sincere endeavor to incorporate their loftiest ideals into the upbuilding of a great school. ith the retirement of Miss Spurr, Lafayette has lost a true friend and advisor. Many members of the alumni remember with gratitude Miss Spurr's kindly interest in their welfare, her helpful guidance, and her cheerful and friendly manner. We at Lafayette have been enriched by our association with her and we regret that now we see her seldom. We extend out very best wishes for her fu- ture happiness. iss Bessie Goldstein has resigned as teacher of French and Spanish at Lafayette High School to spend most of her time to the teaching of music. She is also teaching French at the Millard Fillmore College of the University of Buffalo. Miss Goldstein has devoted much time to the study of modern languages and her ability as a teacher and her friendly interest in her pupils will D8 very much missed at Lafayette. we wish her great success in her new work. iss Ella Chamberlain has retired after many years of service at Lafayette High School. She too has endeared herself to students and faculty alike and we hope that her health has improved sufficiently so that she may enjoy to the full her years of retirement. i3 MISS HELEN HOWELL Room ll MISS HELEN BIGELOW Room 2U MR. EJNAR SWENSSON Room l0l he students who were in home room 2M last year were very happy to learn, when they were DFOMOLBG to room ll this year, that Miss Howell had been assigned to the senior home room. Miss Bige- low has taken Miss Howellls place in room 2U and Miss Dushane has been assigned to home room 205. We wish these teachers success in their new assignments. We are happy to welcome to Lafayette High School the follow- ing new teachers and we know that the school will be enriched Dy the their presence: Esther Link - English department Dorothy Pellman - English department lsobel Nagel - Physical education department Elizabeth Flood - Commercial department Thelma lmbusch - Director of cafeteria Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Mr. Eugene BCDOUL - Social Science department Mr. George Hoegel - English department Mrs. George Warren - Art department We hope that these teachers will enjoy working with us. we are pleased to welcome Miss Mary Louise Nice and Mr. Louis as full-time guidance counselors. Mr. Gitin has been a part- time guidance connselor for boys and teacher of history at Lafayette for several years, and Miss Nice has returned to Lafayette after serving as guidance counselor for girls at Kensington High School. Their advice and assistance to our students is invaluable and we appreciate their efforts on our behalf. Gitin ln clearing out an Oracle drawer recently, some faculty pic- tures were discovered. Since most of our teachers are camera shy, we are happy to present a few of our most daring pedagogs. Some day we hope that the whole faculty will agree to have its picture taken. It would be very much appreciated and would add a great deal to the Year Book. Our critics tell us so. It happens that the discovery included the pictures of several men teachers and among them are Mr. Svensson ana Mr. Unger in charge of the book store and Mr. Monroe who has charge of the book room. Both of these extra duties are effective services in the school. Mr. Whalleyls work is well known and appreciated. A number of the Lafayette teachers have been quite unfor- tunate this year. Miss Warner and Miss Rogers broke limbs, Miss Yates, a vertabrae, and Miss Link her arm. Miss Burke has had a serious illness. MR. NILBER E. UNGER I4 .iss Katherine Reif, Admininstrative Assistant of this school, illected the news items concerning members of the Lafayette faculty. pain it is true that if quick service is desired, the busy person is ie one most likely to get it done. We thank Miss Reif for the in- nrmation which she so graciously furnished. e BXICDO our sincere best wishes to Mrs. Mary K. McDermott ark and Mrs. Thelma lmbusch Harnack, Jr., Cafeteria Manager, on ielr recent marriages. We are very happy that Mrs. Clark has de- ded to continue her teaching at Lafayette, and we regret that, nce Mrs. Harnack expects to make her home in Pittsburgh, she will l longer D6 with us. n January of this year Miss Geneva Bellinger retired and we sh her man ears of continued ood health in which to enjoy her new- Y Y 0 und leisure. Miss Bellinger came to Lafayette as teacher of Latin ortly after her graduation from Mount Holyoke College, and she has en a tireless worker in the interest of her students and of the school er since. We miss her quiet and efficient manner, her sincere under- anding OT the problems of her students. r. RODCTI McGowan, our popular teacher or Math- ematics, has accepted a position as guidance counselor for boys at East High School. He has always worked tire- lessly to promote every Lafayette project and we miss his quiet efficiency and cheerful smile. We wish him every success in his new work. rs. Brldie 0'Day and Miss Ruth Hoffman who were with us for only one year have been transferred - Mrs. 0'Day to Kensington High School and Miss Hoffman to direct the cafeteria at Technical High School. MR. ARTHUR HHALLEY Coach 15 MISS KATHERINE REIF Administrative Assistant MISS FRANCES PITT Room I0 MR. GRAYDON MONROE Book Room ' .ff MISS MARY LOU NICE GUIDANCE tudents at Lafayette High School have always received guidance in their choice of courses and vocations. Home- room and classroom teachers have assist- ed them in selecting suitable courses to prepare them for their chosen careers. The work of the guidance counselors is to coordinate the guidance services available at Lafayette. The counselors offer individual counseling when students need or wish it. The guidance offices here are pleas ant and attractive. Several girls com- prise an office staff that renders compe '-1-.,,,., T6 tent assistance in filing, typing, cata loging and taking care of the many de- tails that make for an efficiently run office. Counselors assist students in making the transition from grade school to high school, in securing part-time employment, choosing colleges and selecting vocations, and in tailoring the curricula to fit the needs of the individual students. The administration, counselors and faculty hope that guidance serv- ices at Lafayette will expand and oecome more effective to help make life here for students pleasant and MR. LOUIS GITIN worthwhile.

Considered a great factor in the development of student government, it provides a medium for the expression of student opinion and fosters im- provements in the school. Members of the council are working to increase the opportunities for fellowship between students and members of the faculty. Although still in its infancy, the Student Council has concluded numerous projects to prove its worth to students and faculty alike. The Christmas Fund, sponsored this year by the Council, was a huge success when the pupils contributed generously. One hundred dollars was given each of the following: The Caney Creek Scholarship Fund, The Buffalo Evening News Camp Fund, and the Courier Express Crippled Children's Fund. And again, with the enthusiasm displayed for the Variety Show, the Council was able to build up a record library for the proposed plan to provide music in the cafeteria. May the passing years see the fulfillment of improvements desired by both students and faculty, through their Student Council. l8 MCNITORS Nina Sucato, Lucy Sucato, Joanne Giordanno.

GOTT'S MESSAGE T0 THE SENIORS To the seniors of l95O we say, UAve atque vale.H We recall the opening day of school in l9M6 when you, as freshmen, were Ninitiatedn into the Umysteriesu of Lafayette High School. Four years have Drought you close to the time of departure. In soon bidding you farewell, we do most truly and deeply hope that all your life you shall fare well. if our school nas, in some measure, contributed to the success we anticipate for you, we are happy to have had a humble share. Take Lafayette's ideals with you but remember always, as they say so cordially in the Southland, to Uhurry backn whenever the occasion presents itself. Your always interested friend, Frank R.

' SALUTATGRY e, the members of the graduating class of l950, are gathered here to celebrate class night. we have long awaited this occasion, which seniors consider a high point of their last year. Now with our parents and friends, we pause for a few minutes to recall our memorable years at Lafayette. May we convey to our well wishers our sincerest greet- ings and our hope that they will enjoy our program with us. In a few days we shall terminate our experience of sheltered years of education at Lafayette and take separate ways into the strife ridden world. Some will further their education in college: others will enter a vocation. Under the watchful eyes of our principal, teachers and parents, we have gained invaluable knowledge and strength ot character in preparation for a more serious consideration in life. Our scholastic organizations and athletic teams have taught us to work effectively with others and to develop our individual abilities. The extent to which these organizations have succeeded is evident in our excellent senior class organization. we are told that in high school Hwhatever we are to be we are be- coming.W what have we DBCOMC? Are we worthy citizens of tomorrow? Have we learned to think logically, to stand firmly for our ideals against whatever abuse may D8 levied against us, to meet our moral obligations to our fellow men? Do we know that we can not truly suc- ceed unless we have the ambition and initiative to do more than is required of us? Ne believe that the training we have received thus far will prove to D6 a strong foundation upon which to build our future Before we enter this new, serious epoch of life, we pause to en- joy this last happy moment. we are pleased that our friends are gath- ered to enjoy the occasion with us.

At birth God gives him brain and will To help him make a plan. What each man does with skills God gives Reveals greatness in man. Each makes his plans, then works them out: As goals are reached, new ones are set. Man strives. Each part he tests Against the whole design. He learns, He toils, he smiles, he rests. And when he puts worn tools away, The sum of his accomplishments Seems small. Hidden, he keeps Remembrance of things dreamed about. The cycle turns. Man sleeps. Lorraine E.

After sufficient ob- servation, we can, as seniors, offer a much more original definition. A freshman is someone fresh out of grammar school who answers a teacher with a courteous 'Yes Miss Such and Suchn. Sport Shorts This was a year of great achievement for LHS. Our amazing football team swamped Bennett on Turkey Day and uUncle Tomn, as the students affectionately called him, coached the cross-country harriers to a successful season. Fred Gibbs, Art Crawford, and Dick Mather formed the nucleus of our victorious swimming team. Louis Tufillaro and the same Fred Gibbs burned up the clnders that year as op- posing trackmen sang nSmoke Gets ln My Eyesn. The sen- sation of our freshman year however was the amazing pitching which Warren King turned in for the Violet nine. Truly, this fresh- man class was to D6 heard from again in the following years. ICR HISTORY KW Q -1f':' ,,,T?HYMSf7 Q Wi Wwwahsmr , ,at A gig K -. '+. ,H As freshmen we were awe- inspired By the vastness of the placeg Our spirit even more was fired By the lipstick on our face. The seniors were above our heads. The Juniors were - Oh, dearl The Sophomores - would we be like that ln only one more year? Assembly Gets Plastered As freshmen we wit- nessed much activity beyond our comprehension. Try as we might, we could think of no logical reason why the walls and the auditorium were painted during the first month of school instead of in the summer. A profusion of ladders, scaffolds, and paint brushes adorned the halls and auditoriumg pupils walked around the 46 September l9U6 - June IQU7 building with pink stripes on their trousers and dresses and assemblies were scenes of great con- fusion. Whenever the doors at the back of the auditorium balcony were left unguarded, scores of pupils gathered to watch the painters perform their acrobates on the high scaffolds. when the painters finally withdrew we had seemingly less wood and more color but certain- ly a clean auditorium in which to gather. A New Note ln Music For the first time in the memory of Mr. Gott, boys forming a chorus ap- peared before us. The freshman and sophomore group sang three songs, especially adapted to them, to delight the au- dience. Mariano Lachina, Frank DiCasare and Ronald Cardwell represented our class. Volume ll September IQN7 - June Sophomores At Last After our June exam- inations were over, and we all passed with nflying colors,' the summer vaca- tion was a welcome change. Before we realized It we returned to school with the dignified title of Sopho- mores. Some of our fellow students could hardly be recognized. Fred McClellan and Jack lTarzanl Molin had grown BDOUL ntwou inches: Tony Polito, Joe Tripi and Alex Marcotte with their brush cuts, looked like new students. Hold That Line Lafayette's football team completed one of its most successful campaigns during our Sophomore year. As a result the Violets were entitled to play Ken- sington on Thanksgiving Day for the championship. Lafayette's smooth passing attack, however, was ham- pered a great deal by the snowy weather. Warren King and Fred McClellan gave notice of their future prowess on the 'IGS i l' Q ,fail lNN- fs.. if 'IIIY . basketball court when they led our Sophomore team to the intermural title. As Sophomores, or as Wwise foolsn say we learned a new word -- shirk. we found that schooI's a place to play And not a place to work. But when exams come round again, lt really made us sad. Did we say this was easy stuff? Are we the fools--egadl ygjwl Ng Something New A guidance council system was established to aid the students in preparing for their futures, either in the various colleges or vo- cations. Mr. Giten and Miss Rogers were the able instructors who undertook to carry out this program. Immediate- ly after an announcement was made concerning this plan, many students could 47 l9U8 D6 seen attempting to reach a higher goal, the fourth floor office of the guidance councilors. Whether the pupils were really using this Pilgrim- age as a means of ob- taining advice or as a legitimate method of cutting classes Presented a difficult problem. Mr. Gott soon solved this difficulty by limiting appointments to study hours or roll call. Our Golngs On Where else but at LHS could such laughter DB heard as that of Charles DeMarco. During our sojourn at school our ranks were in- creased by Ronald Michallof from the windy city. N0fD8ft Schechter, Lois Nye, William WGDBF, Peter Donatelli, Jacqualyn Burd, and lrma Lahti, par- ticipated in the unforget- able 'Freedom Train Program when Mr. Gott request- ed that each student con- tribute as many pennies as he was old to the Christ mas Collection, the stu- dents at Lafayette hid their ages very well. De- spite the reluctance of the pupils to reveal their ages, a generous sum of S300 was collected. L-A-F-A-Y-E-T-T-El BOOMI L-A-F-A-Y-E-T-T-E Booml Lafayette, our Lafayette We sing to thee. Fairest of our high schools Give her three times three Old fellow. Long may we cherish her. Faithful welll be, Lafayette, our Lafayette, For you and me. Volume lll Tradition Broken After Years For the first time in the history of Lafayette High, the Juniors and Sen- iors joined together for their annual prom. Marilyn Miller, the Junior candi- date for queen of the prom, was chosen Dy the judges as one of the two attendants. All who attended had a won- derful time dancing to the music of Tommy Rizzo's orchestra. Our Goings On The ranks of our Jun- ior Class were swelled im- measurably by the addition of Robert Hoey from the coal mines of Pennsylvania. John Grimaldi brought distinction to Lafayette Dy wlnnlng the city-wide oratorical contest. Distinction was brought not only in scholarship, but also in the realm of sports. Ronnie Cardwell, Don DeCas- tro, Mike Walsh, and Ron Michailof sparked our crew to a city high school cham- pionship. New Deal Hits Lafayette With the cooperation of Miss Pitt and Mr. Gott, members of our class along with some seniors undertook to form a student council. Roberta Behrens aided greatly in the formation of this council. After many unforeseen difficulties were cleared we elected as our representatives, Arthur Reid, Larry Zack, Janet Lyons, Shirley Whitehead, Salvatore Montagino, and Fred Gibbs. As Juniors we were second If Jlnzkr Q high, Elections made us tense. Although we weren't all eye to eye We still used common sense. The senior class seemed so secure, That was the place to be, For all the problems wait- ing here We could not then forsee. The Junior Year brought with it the begin- ning of class organization. Excellent judgment was shown for we chose these students as representatives of our class: William Weber President: Shirley Hartsell Vice-President: Janet Lyons Secretary: Ronald Cardwell Treasurer. These officers deserved the honor DBSTOW' ed upon them by the Junior Class Student Council lContl Of these Arthur Reid was chosen President and Fred Gibbs the Treasurer. Varieties of I9U9 The nVarieties of l9N9u under the capable direction of Mr. Jocoy and Mr. Himmele proved to D6 a great success. The aud- ience was thrllled by the 48 September IQU8 - June l9N9 magic playing of Elaine Bruckheimer, Jeanne Post, and Geraldine Notaro on their string instruments. What would the Variety Show have been without the comedy routines? Joe Mat- tina and John Grimaldi cleverly played the parts of Abbott and Costello. Stan Molin acted the part of that Master of tongue twisters, Dr. l.Q. with Lee Jokl in the balcony. Joan Ogden entertained the audience with the Waltz of the Flowers Ballet which was enjoyed by all. Last but not least the Rythm Trio, starring that one and only guitar player, Fred Ball, who played many popular selections. All who attended this mammoth show agreed that it was one of the best variety shows given at Lafayette High School. Volume IV A Rude Intrusion Excitement prevailed at LHS during the hectic week in which tremendous boilers were installed. These new visitors turned our normally quiet base- ment into a place of tur- moil. Lockers were moved into new locations and numerous students could D6 seen, desperately confused, seeking their belongings. An enormous gap was made through a wall and in the floor provided sufficient space for these monsters to D6 hoisted into the lower basement. This op- eration was received with awe by the Van Dusen twins, Sue Perry and who could not comprehend this excitement. This episode proves that Lafayette is not only a place of learning but a place of unexpected occurrences. Our senior year has come at last, And with it rings and credits. Four years flashed by very fast And we are much indebted To teachers, classmates, principal And teams which we defended And as our year draws to a close We're sad that it has ended. NQX JWW Q, Coal Vacation A surprise vacation began on February I5. Stu- dents were pleased to stay in bed until eleven olclock forget their assignments because books were in school, watch television without a trace of con- science. Disappointment prevailed, however, when they learned that the Easter vacation was to D6 shortened, and that classes were to be extended until 3:00 daily. They were sud- 49 September l9U9 - June l95O denly struck with a real- ization. Perhaps this Wcoal vacationn was not unadulterated pleasure after all. Lafayette Students lnvade Hutch The long journey to Hutchinson High School, for the State Scholarship Ex- amination, was just another hardship brought about by Forty- the coal strike. nine Lafayetters hope- fully filed into the study room assigned to them. As everyone nervously gripped his pencil, waiting for the exam to begin, chimes rang through the loud- speaker and the time was announced. Following the quietness during which students decided how to test a custard or avoid the evil effects of poison ivy, we experienced with confusion. Little John Grimaldi was sitting in a corner of the lunch room completely obscured by his huge lunch while Mike Lamendola, Fred Gibbs, Allen Flag and Ron Michoeloff argued over the largest county in New York state. Lou Sidoni, Larry Zack, Bill Weber and John Turner piled into Jack Living- ston's 'car' and went to the Y.M.C.A. to play basketball. Following this two day exam the candidates who endured it spent the rest of the week recuperating. Are You Ready? During the prelim- inary try outs for cheer- leaders, many enthusias- tic seniors participated in violent exercise and strained their vocal chords. In twos and threes and dozens, lead- ers banded together to teach and help each other with the cheers. Mariano Lachina who could not comprehend some of the more complicated cheers discovered on the event- tul day tor selection ot the six cheerleaders that he knew only one cheer. Such a handicap was not his downfall, tor he still BMSFQSO victorious together with Joan Ellsworth, Marilyn Miller, Ned Mano, Sue McMillan, Jerry Cox, and Prudence Algera. The Oracle The art department turned out all of the drawings and cartoons in the i950 Oracle. Sara Miller, art editor, did the cover design and Jay Dutt the majority of the drawings of athletes. Pat Middagh, Helen Nelson, Louis Jacobs, RODBFT Hick Vincent Scappator, Norma Munter, Robert Lennon, Ja S. ck Molin, Vinita Bollman, Ted Lewin did spot designs. Nancy Grabau drew the title page. Charles Lichenstein, Richard Moody and Bill Cook did the cartoons. Thanksl We wish to thank Frankie Drivian, Mike Lachina and Elaine Bruck- heimer for the work which they contributed in the printing of this history. Elaine especially deserves praise for the poems she composed which are on the preceding pages. THE LAFAYETTE ASSEMBLY 50 VALEDICTGRY our short years have passed since we entered Latayette, Tour years which we have spent learning and upholding the traditions of our school. Now we entrust our Alma Mater to a new generation or students, as we tace, as adults, the complications ot tOday'S troubled world Happy in our small accomplishments and hopetul for our future, we still profound- ly regret that we must say farewell. AS we think back to the years spent at Lafayette, to the assemblies which we enjoyed to the sports in which we participated and to the classes in which we gained knowledge and improved our ability to think, we readily admit that these years were the happiest of our lives. we shall enjoy them again in reminiscence. we hope that the knowledge and skills that we have gained in high school will help us to happy days of accomplishment in later years. Through our relatively brief stay at Lafayette, the principles of integrity, sportsmanship and loyalty have been instilled in us by our patient and sympathetic teachers. To them we extend our sincere grat- itude. To Mr. Gott, our helpful and understanding principal, we express appreciation for his conscientious guidance and sincere interest. with his unlimited and invaluable aid have we progressed to the time of graduation. Now we emerge to assist in the developments of a new half century. Many of us will further our education in college or university. Others will attempt to achieve eminence in the business world. Wherever we are and whatever our standing, we, the Class of I950, shall strive to uphold the high principles of Lafayette. As we join the huge body of Lafayette alumni, we, fellow classmates of l950, bld farewell to our Alma Mater. Norbert Schechter H in education directs the undergraduates to success as future seniors and world citizens. It stimulates curiosity and purposeful thinking necessary to becoming happy, usetul and successtul individuals. ' x if K' .ia , .

F ,f !,, UGC lm nalm 71 WEST POINT CADET PRAYER God, our Father, Thou Searcher of menls hearts, help us to draw near to Thee in sincerity and truth. May our religion be filled with gladness and may our worship of Thee be natural. Strengthen and increase our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking, and suffer not our hatred of hypocrisy and pretense ever to dim- inish. Encourage us in our endeavor to live above the common level of life. Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half-truth when the whole can oe won. Endow us with courage that is born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy, that scorns to com- promise with vice and injustice, and knows no fear when truth and right are in jeopardy. Guard us against flippancy and irreverence in the sacred things of Ilfe. Grant us new ties of friendship and new opportunities of service. Kindle our hearts in fellowship with those of a cheerful countenance, and soften our hearts with sympathy for those who sorrow and suffer. May we find genuine pleasure in clean and wholesome mirth and feel inherent disgust for all coarse minded humor. Help us, in our work and in our play, to keep ourselves physically strong mentally awake, and morally straight, that we may the better maintain the honor of the Corps untarnished and unsullied, and acquit ourselves like men in our effort to realize the ideals of West Point in doing our duty to Thee and to our Country. All of which we ask in the name of the Great Friend and Master of Men. -Amen. 72 he Lafayette library was moved to Room l6 on the second floor last year.

During July and August IQUQ, The Fisher Body Crafts- man's Guild held its annual contest for which applicants sent model cars to Detroit to D6 judged. We are proud that Alan Rebman, a junior, was awarded the Third State Prize of 850. 80 suggests willingness to learn oy doing. Per- forming oeneficial services and finding enjoyment, Latayette's students acquire the fundamentals of leadership and association to aid them in future endeavors.

Year after year, room IOM echos the innum- erable conferences, feverish activities, and occasional laughter of a DUSy Oracle staff. Often, after the last bell has rung at the close of school, the staff members remain, writing BDO typing articles, and arranging ma- terial. And just as often, one may see teachers and staft members with heads together over some new difficulty. This year, because the members of the start had to meet an earlier deadline, work was intensified. ev t 4,1 1 V ..-a M - '4 iQ tx . - 5 'ir-'T' . aff .Q-: Al y U 5 1 A agu a... at i f i , q.i:f. t 1- 1 - 'gm HENRY NILE Class Section Typing CLARE LONG ARLENE MORAN Publicity Class Section PATTE BARRICK 82 Ga?

ORACLE SALESMEN ' x ff' 1 1 li X xx X 85 THE TRIANGLE Assuming much the same attitude as a queen bee busily buzzing about the hive, Maxine Ginsberg very capably put four wonderful issues of this year's Triangle to press. Maxine had ample experience in advertising, circulation, and rewrite in the three years she served on the Triangle staff. The paper speaks for itself in acclaiming her work as editor. Acknowledgement and appreciation from the whole school go to Maxine for her important contribution to Lafayette. Maxine Ginsberg , , , W Editor of the Triangle nBeehlveN was certainly the term for the Triangle office as the staff hurriedly turned this and that material into a finished publication. i950 saw the introduction of a new mimeographed Triangle, together with the usual printed page of pictures. As assistant editor, Frankie Krivian added a note of fantasy to the paper with her wondrous tales of elephants and waterfront fish. She also oversaw the difficult task of production. Elaine Bruckheimer, the circulation manager, did a QFBUO JOD supplying the eager FGGOSFS. Others on the staff included Barbara Sugar- man, June Blatt, Letty Tenhagen, and Barbara walsher who DFOUQUT in all the school news, and Sally Bickerstaff, Patte Barrick, and Carl Feinsinger, feature writers. Joan Ogden, Sue Shapiro and Shirley Whitehead kept all entertained with their clever poetry, while Sue Perry busily snapped photographs for the picture page. The athletic column was handled by Roberta Behrens and Francis Mullford. Dick Moody, our versa- tile artist, added to the zest and humor with his cartoons. Busy fingers belonging to Angie SGDBTO, Renate Katz, and Patte Berrick, typed out the stencils for the Triangle, while the able arms of Peter Grever and Charles Battista turned out the finished copy on the mimeograph machine. To this incomparable staff go the thanks of the entire school for a bigger and better Lafayette Triangle. Bottom Row: Dick Moody.
