PRIZE DAYS 90 F OR eight eighth graders and eighteen ninth graders june 9th Prize Day signified the end of the line at Allen-Stevenson. The previous day, while Upper Schoolers frolicked at RandalI's lsland Field Day, Lower School lgrades 1-4j had their com- mencement, accompanied by two plays, many songs, and prizes, ribbons, etc., for many recipients. Upper School Prize Day ceremonies began with Dr. Kring tAll Souls' Unitarian Churchj invocation. He was followed by jeremy Ben-Ami's valedictory. For the first time, the valedictorian was not the speech contest winner, but one chosen by the fac- ulty from a list of student-nominated candidates. ln a well-prepared talk which skillfully avoided men- lioning a single name, Ben-Ami dealt with the usual we-have-much-to-be-thankful-for material. Then Mr. Suter, really the master of ceremonies for Prize Day, began the long list of awards, some- what shortened this year due to an earlier ceremony at an assembly which dispensed many lesser awards. Mr. Suter began with the Shop Award, presented to 6th grader josh Holland this year, while the Art Award went to Mark Browning. Next, the Drama Club award went to Barrett Lester, the Francis Keally Drama Award, one of the school's most venerable, was omitted in error from the program. Ut went to Danny Szorj Editor of the A-S News Bradley Kulman, along with Clifton York, copped the publications awards, small recompense for thousands of hours of slaving over the News and Unicorn. Outstanding citizens in 5th and 6th grades are presented with medals from the Sons of the Revolu- tion, this year these pins went to Hans Wydler and jeffrey Oesterricher. The Daughters of the Revolu- tion medal fsame thing, but for 7th gradersj, went to Alex Gellert. Then came the richest award, the Mayflower Compact, given to the best 7th grade history student - along with a S100 savings bond! jesse Cohen was the worthy recipient. the ran an A-plus average all year longlj In gratitude for eons of time in the lab, the Science Award went to Nick Armington, while Ben- Ami copped the Glenn Gamble Memorial Latin Award. For independence of spirit the Charles Horman Memorial Award was presented to Michael Hedges. Next followed the coveted Athletic Cup, given to the best all-round athlete. This was awarded to David Hilliard, who amassed no less than thirteen varsity letters and three captaincies in following his distinguished older brother Landon. Then followed the presentation of the Alumni Medal, perhaps the most prized of all the awards. Ben-Ami won this one, too, for outstanding service to the school. Next came the award of honor rolls, with nearly half the fifth graders being so rewarded, while the list dwindled considerably as one went higher in the grades. Mr. Cole took the opportunity of speaking at length before handing out the diplomas to the graduates, reminding the ninth graders how awful they had been as seventh graders and how they had supposedly progressed in the last three years. He was followed by President of the Board Mr. White, who cracked a joke at Mr. Cole's expense, sat down, and called for the singing of America With that, Prize Day expired for 1977.
