l OUR HERO - no, the Editors did not crop out the numbers and this ffffm - mug is not from the Hingham police files. Unfortunately they were closed for New Year's when we called to request photographs. CAUGHT AT LAST! - David has successfully avoided the last 43 team pictures, being otherwise involvedg reportedly he even escaped the staff picture in the Monty Python yearbook! Here our fearless leader is captured for posterity fno, this is his facej with his all-winning IV football team of fall 1975, which he coached with Run-Colorado Roy Parker. KERSEY THE PAINTER - costumer and set designer Kersey revealed his talents once again at G 81 S time by painting in the sky of Japan for Ms. Kopple's stunning backdrop. This is why Aurora Borealis appears over Mt. Fujiama. BAITING THE ISSUE - Again DWK displays his thespian talents, shown here with Bonnie Sommers in Happiest Days. Lovesick young English master Kersey was only moderately successful in attracting the attentions of professional counterpart.

The boy behind the mask is not Paul Weitz, but Ralph Whitmore. 5 . . r t SCHOOLMASTERS ALL - labovei DWK and Messrs. Cole and Landis try to amuse patrons in last spring's Benefit production The Happiest Days of Your Life. Neither an accomplished Shakespearean nor Vaudevillian, DWK nevertheless has great talent for all things theatrical, being able to turn even the most sodden prose into thrills for the audience. lbelowi Our hero reveals his inner Iongings for Catholic education as he is discovered wearing a St. David's lno he has not been cannonized yeti T-shirt beneath his A-S jacket. Qgg DWK - attired for an afternoon of Poland's national game - foursquare. Intrepid leader of Saturday Club lplay now, pay laterj and Kersey's Warriors on Friday afternoons, David spends much of his time permanently suited up in athletic togs. DEDICATION DAVID KERSEY has been a favorite fixture around 78th Street for eight long years now. His amiable disposition, penchant for long hours, attraction to the locker room, and outstanding abili- ty with student dramatics have endeared him to all except those who don't wish to go to field. As our outgoing Director of Athletics lsici, friend and co- commiserator when things are rotten, we should like to thank him for his years of service by dedi- cating this humble yearbook of 1977. David came to Allen-Stevenson as a Fourth Grade pedagogue in 1969. Following the departure of Hugh the Doorman Dietz from Seventh Grade Biology and Athletic Director posts, David was kicked upstairs to Seventh Grade math and the sports job. Famed throughout every league as the most inaccessible athletic director ever known lDa- vid has appx. 4 min. per day to answer phones, make calls, etc.i, our hero has nonetheless presided over the period of Allen-Stevenson's greatest athlet- ic successes, Unicorn teams have generally been the scourge of RandalI's Island since his pontificate began in 1973. Still, David's greatest successes have probably oc- curred in other fields, he has continued directing stunning student productions and even starred in an adult production himself! A hard-working student of Nancy Streetman, he has mastered the 'cello, earn- ing his orchestra patch from Maestro Gauger. A devoted opera-goer and bon vivant, David will be sorely missed when he goes to Brazil in the spring of 1978 for his well-earned sabbatical. Thanks for everything, DWK, now can you get us a game with Buckley Country Day?
