The class of 1961 entered Lafa- yette happily. There was no hazing this fall and they re- ceived a warm welcome from the sophomores . At once the freshmen began to take their place in the school. During football assemblies they did their part singing. They always call him Mr. Touchdown: They always call him Mr. Team. He can run and kick and throw: Give him the ball and just look at him go. Hip, hip, hurrah for Mr. Touchdown He's going to beat 'em todayg So give a great big cheer For the hero of the year, Mr. Touchdown, U.S.A. From their positions in the balcony and rear of the assem- bly, they shouted Extra ! Extra! Read all about itl We've got a team and we're glad to shout it. They're roughg they're tough: they're rarin' to go. Come on, Lafayette. Give 'em a show. The freshman pep rally, which rivaled the seniors', was notable for its variety acts. A skit, written by Henry Simon, depicted a sport announcer, showing Lafayette's All American Football Team. Linda Shivley and Anita Saia did a tap dance duet. Michael Gimbrione and Sam Puleo Venera Palumbo Mary Lee Bean Muriel Davis Judith Briandi Robert Mager Carol DiRosa Virginia Dilley Susan Cutting Q...

Miss Dougherty was faculty adviser. Edith Marie DiBartolo, an outstanding freshman, was soloist with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and entertained during Carols and Capers. In fact several freshmen took part in the Christmas program. Anita Saia narrated the Christmas story from THE BIBLE. Evelyn Walton and the Duley sisters enter- tained by singing and Linda Shivley was a featured dancer. All were praised. Honor classes for freshmen were initiated this year. Mr. Unger had thirty freshmen in earth science, really a second year science course. They were lucky to be discussing the solar system when Sputnik was launched. Furthermore of the 15 students who had semester av- erages of 95 or more, 10 were freshmen. Michael Gim- brone, Room 315, had an average of 97.3. Next came Patricia Wilson 322, Yvonne Echenoz 204, James Cassott 203, Julianna Ricci 315, Rosalind Sciortino 322, Roselyn Millemace 307, Fred Lewis 310, Loretta Sansone 315, and jeffrey Fisher 204.

Have you seen them hurriedly dry trays or push carts of dishes from the girls' cafeteria to the washer? Some ate first and then worked. Any- one who worked first was anxious for his relief to appear: those who ate first, hurriedly stuffed themselves. Workers also get promoted. At first they start as tray driers in white aprons . Then they are promoted to the so called white jacket, selling milk or ice cream or candy Later if they display the ability to add and subtract they are promoted to the top position which is cashier Some duties of cafeter1a workers were eliminated by cafeteria monitors But there was still much to do All students when they eat the Lafayette Special ending up with apple crisp or jello or custard and drink their chocolate or white milk should be grateful for the work of this group Movies, movies, movies, that's what the boys on the projection crew were always talking about. If it was not a movie on bac- teria for biology, it was one on Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, or Andrew jackson for history. There were subjects that required movies to help students in their school work and others requisite for their protection at play. In health, it's tra- ditional to have movies on first aid and life saving. The boys on the crew appeared regularly to wind, show and rewind in their job of run- ning the machine that all might have enter tainment and instruction If one person could see all films he would know the way to write a composition the process by which an amoeba separates various swim ming strokes and the way Caesar said Et tu Brute The stage crew were busy during assem hlies letting down or drawing up the golden curtain and controlling the amplifier and lights They worked especially hard during the Christmas program PROJECTION CREW AND STAGE CREW ROW ONE Parness G Perry M Lonca S Perla L Hodges I Valentmo I Reed W Clark D Botucellr ROW THREE M Yavno J Cormrck M Grmbrone R Brunette M Benzow J Coleman ROW TWO J Zolczer H Buseck R Messel H ,Rim T?
