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 !!

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.

GRADE 5 TOBOLSKY - back row: Kleefield, Greer, Kratovil, Klammer, Hemion, Leibg middle row: Ratliff, F. Wahlers, Rothstein, P. Cohen, Khan, Goldfischer, G. Zuckertg front row: Selch, Abrahms, A. Seplow, B. johnson, Barrette, M. Penn Chris Miller spent most of his time on stage productions, trying to be Mr. Schroeter's left AND right hand man, while Sandy Trippe made a game out of cutting field. Tony Green cranked out innu- merable bloody-minded cartoons, while others who shall not be named plastered odd-ball magazine Cut-Outs on Mr. Wojo's blackboard. When Chris Miller wasn't illuminating the stage, Winfield Henry was, and he probably spent an extra two weeks worth of time in the building, working on almost every show of the year. Bowlegged Larry Siskind invaded the school darkroom early in the year, and proved invaluable to the publications staff, although it took the staff almost three months to convince Chris Allen to write a story for the A-S News. Clinton the Rabbit johnson was the envy of many, with three varsity letters the started for hockey 81 lacrosse! Only braces on his teeth came to mar his perfect rabbit-like appearance. Leading stu- dent was quiet, erudite jesse Cohen, one of the few mortals to ever get an A-plus on one of Mr. Nichols' hour tests. Although he was often victimized by detention, equipment freak Ycaza Thrush passed with flying colors, as did Neil Bader, sixth man on the basketball team. Certainly Whitney Ransick was the class eccentric, his Argument Booth at Carnival was unparalleled for foul language and insults - and won the prize for the best booth! Newcomer Allty Parkinson found a new home far from Paris ffrom whence he camel, and Peter Briger was forced to suffer through the year with an unmentionable nickname which even some of the faculty persisted in using. Unfor- tunately 7B homeroom teacher Mr. Wojo had a class allergic to spring rollers, and continually Mr. Nichols would be found raving about yet another broken map or shade. X 33
