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.

PUBLICATIONS 'I' HE high point of this year's publications effort was Bradley Kulman's well-run AlIen-Steven- son News, not to take any credit away from the Unicorn. Led by Kulman and his determined staff of Wee Willie Duryea, Dean Ween Landis, jeremy Ben-Ami and Timi loukowsky, the News produced four fine issues without annoying anybody land that's hard to doli. Clifton York, and his eager darkroom people, Larry Buballa Siskind, kept the News in pictures. Although there were a few rushed deadlines, and the Cocce Press went out of business midway through the year lgood-bye Emilll, Kulman 84 Co. functioned almost completely independently of advisor Mr. Nichols iwho wasn't even here for the first semesteri. One could always find them sweating over some last minute headlines to fit in around the printer's ridiculously early deadlines followed by Kulman's roar of Duryea and Landis, down to the printers! We shall not repeat what the reply usually was. lf anything went wrong, it was usually blamed on Robert Buehler, a comfortable scape-goat since no one could remember exactly what stories he'd been assigned. Perhaps the only area where trouble was encountered was with the various Opinion Forums, where students and faculty were asked to give their views on sometimes con- troversial items. Since Allen-Stevenson has always been a hot-bed of outspoken dissent, it has been logical to assume that most will freely spout their opinions if given a platform. Not so, and the Editors had to go far afield - to special writers such as Plato, Socrates, and name withheld - for sources of O.F. material. Perhaps the less said about the Unicorn the bet- ter. Despite the presence of Clay lgnatz Hutchi- son lformer Editor-in-Chiefl in the fall semester, the yearbook suffered from a lack of overall leadership. Editor-in-Chief Livingston took a back seat as York took over, ably assisted by Landis, Siskind and lou- kowsky land missing Greg Demirjianl. Long hours were spent in the claustrophobic darkroom trying to catch up, but only the second deadline was missed by an appreciable amount of time. Minor crises occurred over the misuse of water and the avoi- dance of permawash, the lack of copy paper, the theft of a camera, the lack of contrast on the varsity soccer picture, etc. The Editors for 1978 have already planned their book, so Mr. Nichols' last Unicorn should be much less of a headache. Please bear with us, dear readers! and contribute more than you did this year. Even the likes of Glickman 84 Ruenitz lour esteemed Business Managersl don't like to apply strong-arm methods to raise funds! 80
