For the Student Council 1966-1967 has been a year characterized by tradition, innovation, success, and failure. Many activities and operations planned by the council were designed to generate congeniality, pleasure, and improvement of the lot of the student body. By virtue of the participation by so many students, we were able to accomplish a great deal despite the many obstacles caused by the growing pains of a new addition. Commencing with the overwhelming reception given Kickoff the Welcome Dance, which initiated Amity's social season, the Council provided. a full program for a memorable year. Record hops, the annual spring dance, and a casual and re- laxed Bermuda Day in May were the results of more obvious efforts of the repre- sentatives. Sponsorship of this year's American Field Service student, Guillermo Boppy Oliveros from Colombia, South America, and preparation for next year's received a large share of the organizationis attention. The legislative agenda was also highlighted by the consideration of a driver education course, after-school movies, and S.A.T. tutoring. With the generous and untiring help of Miss Barbara' ,loan Sheedy, our new faculty advisor, we solved numerous problems that might otherwise have proved diiiicult. Mr. Ernest Haas, our rookie school store advisor, initiated a completely new system of reorganizing his department with the cooperation and help of those who buy and sell its merchandise. We of the Student Council hope that our efforts, resulting in disappointments as well as achievements, will help future Councils at Amity to build an even greater school. BRUCE M. GARBER President

For the first time, the Trident began its year Hnancially solvent. Despite an in- creased treasury, the staii maintained the offset issue rather than linotype, because oifset affords an opportunity for more pictures and a more casual approach. John Shutkin's second year as Editor-in-Chief provided more experience and organization. Continued emphasis was placed on feature articles and photographs. Boys, and girls' fashion photos were continued. The ninth Miss Trident was crowned at the varsity- faculty basketball game, and Pandemonium II, the second Trident-sponsored rock and roll show was presented in February. As Milton R. Cohen, the faculty advisor says, Happiness is reading the Trident. Everyone reads it, even non-subscribers. SPOTLIGHT The Spotlight, the literary magazine of Amity, contains various forms of writing from the poet, to the critic. Under the guidance of David Baum- gartner, the club reviews all forms of creative writing handed in by the student body. The Spotlight comes out once a a year in the spring. Third Row: M. Lee, J.
