Allen Stevenson School - Unicorn Yearbook (New York, NY)

Page 35 text:

Certainly one of the most memorable aspects of the year was in the general attitude of the boys themselves. After a second consecutive undefeated football season, the first winning soccer season ever, a near miss at the League Basketball title and - as usual - outstanding lacrosse prospects, there was understandibly a tremendous amount of school spirit. Mr. Cole and his well-known Steeeeeven- son cheer were heard on many a sideline, while the coaches exhorted their charges on to greater and greater achievements. Mr. Nichols returned from Sabbatical to provide even more enthusiasm as Allen-Stevenson athletic fortunes were once again on top. In addition, there was considerable turnout for extra-curricular activities and plays - especially among the Ninth Graders. Gnly at the Ninth Grade plays Cfour one-acters staged by Mr. Landisj was there a poor turnout - this time from the parents, as the boys were especially disappointed that more people didn't show up to enjoy the fruits of their labors. The 8th Grade, often mentioned as the most well- rounded in the school, continued its character during the year. Adam Lesberg consistantly per- fumed the classroom, while Leon the Lip Kinlock .-ae-X,fll GRADE 6 WEBB - back row: Keels, Henderson, Hagen, Childres, Brown, Mattox, middle row: Holland, O'Connell, Blair, S.

The first attempt was by this year's out- going Ninth Gradersg their was also the last attempt of the year - again in the spring. The first extrava- ganza was a hastily cobbled together skit of jimmy Carter, while the second was a Faculty Meeting tread Poker Gamel. The final disaster was a game show. 7Bers followed, with yet another Ford-Carter debate, sparkled with dialogue between Ycaza Thrush iCarterl and Peter Briger fFordj. Then came a skit depicting daily life at A-S, as seen through the eyes of SB. Roger Sommers and Barrett Lester were behind the newsdesk, as Andrew Glickman played Walter Cronkite. The class also spoofed com- mercials iwhat else?j in between the late-breaking news items. 8A's presentation combined with Mr. Landis' an- nual Book Fair presentation, as Adam Lesberg led a cast of thousands who portrayed bookworms look- ing for a home. Next was Mr. Kersey's imaginative St. George and the Dragon, and if it weren't for talented substitutes tthree leads got sick the day beforel, the thing would have had to have been cancelled. jimmy Sinclair, Eric Cliette, Larry Sweet, and Tony Couloucoundis were some of the stars, as St. George and the Dragon got together in the end. A few days later Mr. Schroeter's 7A group put on two amusing detective numbers. Neil Bader iwho forgot his lines and then forgot to look in his opened briefcase for themll, jesse Cohen, Steven Metcalfe, Tony Green, et al, will never match the standards of Sherlock Holmes or George Raft, but everybody in the packed audience had a great deal of fun.

never stopped talking, and neither did Billy Judson. Although small in overall physical size, the 8th Grade probably has the best collection of athletes in the school, and certainly Glenn Robinson stands out at the head of the list. Who could forget his elec- trifying touchdown runs as he amassed thousands of yards rushing? john Gilmour and Greg Demirjian, on the other hand, have taken their athletic endea- vours into the field of skateboarding, while Wee Willie Duryea has won the gold pin award for annoying Mr. Schroeter. Roger Sommers' rock group has at last begun to make money, while Ralph Whitmore has been well, Ralph, we just can't write that here. 8Aers start their day be having a Big Matt attack lthey jump on Matthew Peyton, trying to apply strangle holds, etc.j. Raines major, Whitmore and Craig Boyce inhabit the computer room every free moment ialong with some moments which aren't freej, while class egotists Clifton York, Dean Landis, Kinloch and lusdon went to the roof at every avail- able opportunity. limmy jacobs missed so much school the Natural History Museum branded him an endangered spe- cies, while Tico Marchant spent so much time on crutches ftobogganing accident, naturallyj he audi- tioned for the part of Yosemite Sam. Andrew Glick- man raised prodigious funds for school publica- tions, along with his goombah Timothy Ruenitz. Having a truly productive year, the class of '78 guarantees it'll be one of the greatest. Now, for the Seventh Graders - who came in all sizes and shapes this year, ranging from 4'6 to 5'8 . Some were -- frankly - identical, like the Papa- zoglou twinsg others gigantic like Charles Brush, others merely eccentric like Whitney Ransick or Chris OKW Allen. 'rv 117 if I !!
