Please Rise For: Abington’s “Morning Zoo” 7:39 A.M. Half asleep, you stumble into homeroom, take your seat, and fall back into that delightful state of R.E.M. 7:40 A.M. Behind the scenes, the ARTW controls are activated by the dexterous hand of Peter Kelly, the esteemed advisor. 7:41 A.M. You are beckoned to rise for the flag salute pledge by the all-powerful voice of Andy Jacobs. 7:43 A.M. Head on desk, you sleep through the duration of the announcements and miss the daily maxims of the witty Kim Ziev. Still in this comotose state, you ignore the sports reports read by music-master Brit Van Horn. 7:47 A.M. Heart beat quickens, pulse races, chest tightens, and body shakes in anticipation of that sweet, unavoidable, yet somewhat annoying voice that screeches “Good Morning!!” This faceless voice radiates an enthusiasm to the otherwise unconscious Ab-ington population. It is Gabby Abby! Gabby Abby is Abington’s in-house Yente” or Gossip Queen.” She is a tradition with rank equal to that of the ghost. Just picture a Gabby Abby-less school - a mere building filled with 1500 sleepy-eyed individuals. Gabby Abby’s unenviable job is to wake up these masses. In doing so, she spreads a ”joie de vivre” which helps to ease early mornings at Abington. -Stefi Gabby” Pashman ARTW staff (from left): Kim Ziev, Andy Jacobs. Stefi Pashman.

Concerts, plays, and assemblies are attended by their various fans, but one group is ever-present at such activities. The usher- come and an informative program. Do long lines in the library get you down? Have no fear, the library aides are here! Again, a small group of dedicated students helps ease the flood of work which swamps the library, especially at obligation time!

Officers Stefi Pashman, Jen Miller, and Jean Kintisch work with sponsor Mrs. Weinfeld and members to alert fellow students to the danger of driving under the influence.
