HELLO DAY Seniors ' fly ' high to win second consecutive Lenny And the winner is . . . The Class of ' 87. For the second consecutive time, the Class of ' 87 proved that they are the top at Hello Day. With a team headed by chief writer Teddy Fern, director Jason Tomarken, and musicians Sam Gabbay, Jordan Fishman, and Abe Askenazi, We ' re Seniors, We Don ' t Need A Title, successfully parodied the film The Fly. This time the experiment turned cool Senior Marty, played by Dean Shapiro, into a nerdy Freshman, Cory Freundel. Shocked and dis- illusioned, Marty ' s girlfriend, played by Julie Heimler, sang to him Don ' t Stand So Close To Me. Finally everything worked out and Marty, with his peers, graduated singing Say Goodbye To Beverly. Our class gave Hello Day everything we had and it payed off, said lead character Dean Shapiro. The Lenny Award is named in honor of Leonard Uhley, who wrote three award-winning skits. It is now in its 19th year. Now in its second year, the Michael DeWitt Award is given to one student from each class whom the actors vote as contributing the most to their skit. This year ' s Michael DeWitt award went to senior Tomarken, junior Kyle Rosen, and sophomore Jody Katz. The sophomore skit, directed by Katz and written by Lieba Faier, Denis Pepp, Andrea Bardack, and Leslie Winnick, told the story of a Freshman in Wonderland. This twist of the popular children ' s story featured Jamie Luner as a freshman in love with a football player, Micah Hyman. In the end, the audience was left in a cloud of smoke: as Alice dream- ing or was it real? Director Katz said, The cast worked very hard and we are looking forward to next year ' s hopeful win. With tye-dye shirts and flowers in their hair, the juniors presented their skit Dare, written by Robert Rich and Adam Wohl. This parody of the musical Hair brought the audience back to 1985, a time when students were protesting the end of the Age of Mod 70. Carl Levin played a new student who was exposed to Beverly by protestor Wendy Warschaw. Hello Day is a great opportunity to use a lot of different talents and this year was an inspira- tion for success next year, said Warschaw. ASB advisor Elaine Falk observed, Every class put in a lot of effort making this a highly successful and most enjoyable Hello Day. Junior Class members perform the Age of Mod 70 (above).
