Class of ' 78 sweeps ' Hello Day ' ; Beverly ' s car rally raids LA An uproar began seconds after the Class of ' 78 was announced the win- ners of Hello Day. How to Succeed at Beverly Without Really Trying was the theme for the victorious juniors. By no means unique, the story of a freshman punk, Ponty, played by Steve Sloane, showed an ambitious freshman who tries to find his place in a clique at Beverly. The Classes of ' 77 and ' 79 both used A Chorus Line as their theme each using different ideas from the original musical. In charge of the senior class ' s production were Jodi Rogaway and Tica Molloy, who put in a lot of effort, as usual. An exuberant amount of talent was shown by the sophomores, especially this having been their first year. At the Hello Day Dance the Lenny Awards were presented to Noel Katz, Chris Lloyd and Mike Freed for writ- ing and directing the winning script. Between honking and screaming, Gary Ross, Jodi Levine and Sari Stabler tried to organize an assembly line of cars streaming out of the north parking lot. All the confusion took place in Octo- ber at Beverly ' s third annual Car Rally. The cars pulled out of the park- ing lot to drive three hours, on a route from the high school, through Santa Monica, Westwood, Bel Air and Holly- wood. After receiving their instructions drivers had to figure out a route from hints and questions given. The object was to get to Nathans, a famous New York hot dog stand in Studio City, in 36.3 miles, with answers to questions so bizarre such as the price of bowling at Picwick or who ' s playing at the Comedy Store. Leslie Smith, Adam Barron and Steve Ricci finished first, second and third, respectively, for having the most cor- rect answers and least mileage. 20 • hello dav

Class frolics highlight fall; students boogie at Pigskin Prom Several exciting events highlighted the fall semester class activities. To begin with, Senior Dean Marks or- ganized the Class of ' 77 popcorn sale. A popcorn machine was popping at lunch for a week on the third floor patio. The class also held a ping-pong tournament. Though there was no win- ner, the seniors involved had a good time. For Junior-Senior Night, the twelfth grade sold gym shorts with their mascot, a lion, on the front. Over $200 was made by the juniors from their Ghirardelli candy sale. They also had a class T-shirt sale featuring their mascot, a dragon. The sophomores began the year with two Woody Allen films, At Earth ' s Core and What Up Tiger Lilly? Later in the semester, the class twist- ed their lunch away in a twister tour- nament. Organized by Amy Prince and Mike Canter, the students met on the front lawn to play the 1960s game. Twister. For the first time, a tour of NBC and filming of Chico and the Man was sponsored by the Class of ' 79. Streamers and balloons set the scene at the Pigskin Prom in November. Walking into the cafeteria, dance- goers saw what resembled a football field with a grandstand and cheer- leaders and heard the music of the band Higher Ground. Headed by Jodi Levine and Ivy Cohen, the Junior Class sponsored the dance. Shelli Schaffer was crowned Varsity Sweetheart with her princesses Car- roll Day and Rebecca Fields. The royalty was selected by the football team. 22 • fall activities
