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

With lacrosse enthusiasm reaching new heights, the Roof Club became an-open-ended affair with boys perfecting skills. Many a member from another club came up to the sixth floor after his earlier club had finished, so the roofers usually finished playing only because of darkness. A new goalie was trained, many fifth graders were introduced to the sport, and Wee Willie Duryea at last achieved greatness tath- letic Nirvanaj through the rigors of the roof pro- gram. Debating enthusiast Mr. Pariseau practiced his ploemics with his Friday afternoon Debating Club, especially reserved for 8th and 9th graders. This club took advantage of the Presidential Election year, and each Friday of the fall debated on which Presiden- tial campaign was better. After the Elections, they kicked around such interesting subjects as Commu- nism in Western Europe and whether or not to legalize marijuana. On this last matter the Editors are following the advice of their attorney and refus- ing to disclose which persons took a positive stand. Clearly the Friday clubs - and their after-hours extensions, make Allen-Stevenson one of the most diverse schools in New York. To be sure, some are undemanding in their scope, others have definite goals and deadlines, while some just open-end themselves to cater to kids' likes. Here we should mention one of Allen-Stevenson's oldest organiza- tions: Kersey's Warriors. Doctor Dave has always found a group of enthusiastic foursquare freaks, basketball nuts, etc. to utilize the gym on Friday afternoons. ROOF CLUB - back row: Muller, D.

. ,, .fag- .. -. ...lr Club's main projects were creating skits about vari- ous subjects in everyday life, past and present. On one occasion, for instance, the Club was split into groups and told to come up with ideas about the Bicentennial. Some examples were: an interview with Washington crossing the Delaware and a col- orblind Betsy Ross. Merging with last year's Backgammon Club, Games 84 Diplomacy also flourished, bringing its total enrollment to 537 - or so it seemed. The Club took up many rooms depending upon number of casinos required. Among the favorite games were backgammon, stratego, diplomacy and go fand many a game of go lasted well into the afternoon.i Cooking Club, started by newcomer Mr. julian, was a new favorite this year, as he got official approval from Mrs. Krasa to use the school kitchen. Some of the culinary delights created by Mr. lulian and his gang of amateur enthusiasts were: eggplant parmigians, beef and broccoli, and fettucine Al- fredo. Supposedly the eggplant was the best, and those who tried it were not, repeat were not, afflicted with serious gastric disturbances. Because of the long preparation time fnot to mention the clean-upsj, the Club usually broke up around five- thirty leaving full bellies instead of empty ones to feast on many a TV dinner at home. Three cheers for Mr. julian, whose gastronomic enthusiasm in- fected many a boy with appreciation for better food instead of the usual hamburger mentality. Newcomer Mr. Tobolsky instituted a strictly-for- fifth-graders club to play fand learn without losing too much moneyj the game of bridge. Mr. T. and his card sharps met every Friday for a few rubbers of bridge. - KERSEY'S WARRIORS - back row: M. loukowsky, Hovde, M. Schwartz, Hagen, N. Bader, Keels, Selton, middle row: Osterricher, D.
