L Y , .P 4,531 E lolzs 6 SPDRT The Science sports picture, influenced by the advantages of the new building, has undergone a radical transformation. Our baseball team's home site, Harris Field, is conveniently located, and large numbers of rooters attend all games. Fans also packed the gym to cheer the basketball team, season tickets, a major innovation, were sold out in a Week, to the dismay of latecomers. Our cheerleaders performed before full houses for the first time. This newly-found school spirit was the outstanding characteristic of the athletic year, making its mark on our teamsf Kwon and lostn tallies. Reviewing each teamfs record this year, the importance of the contributions of the members of the class of '60 is proved repeatedly. TENNIS The class of 1960 faced a big challenge in this field, our Racketmen were out to capture the city championship for the fourth consecutive year. Led by Captain Hank Kaplan, the team appeared capable of achieving this goal. John Cohen and Hank were the leading senior representatives on the team, with additional help from Geoff Heyworth. Hank, a member of the team since his sophomore year, provided the necessary leadership. His powerful serve and his effective offensive net game made him diflicult to beat. John, on the other hand, supplied the team With sorely needed depth. His game was based on sound back court stroking, a baseline attack, and a dependable serve. Adding moral support and oranges were managers Ruth Daniel and Ellen Solomon. In Coach-of-the-Year Leon Alcaly's able hands, tenniswise, the Class of 760 was ready to go-go-go. TRACK AND CROSS COUNTRY This year, the records of our track and cross- country teams, co-captained by Bill DeAngelis and Mike Smith, were unusually impressive. The Harriers, great capabilities were shown in the P.S.A.L. Cross-Country Championships where they finished second in their field of thirty teams. The varsity accomplishing this feat was made up entirely of seniors Smith, DeAngelis, Eddie Harrow, Julian Offsay and Steve Schwartz. In addition, individual awards were presented to Eddie, Who finished fourth of some two hundred runners, and Billy, who despite injuries that kept him out of action most of the season, finished tenth. In the track events, major positions were occupied by senior milers Harrow, Offsay and Larry Feinerg middle-distance men, Smith, DeAngeli.s, Dan Gogol, Keith Endo, Dan Paget, and Eliot Marksong and sprinters Joe Borden, Henry Zelman, and Lee Toon, who also broadjumps.

CEMETERY Flakes of sky come home in remnant winter And lick the rusted earth. Wind-herded into grief's unmindful face And make communion with the tears. Sodden, spaded, spongy earth ls cast unwelcome from its timeless rest To weather's own grey time Then rattles down upon the COWIL top. Grey and grey and grey Creyls essence of the nnal mixture Pallid death and gloom-steeped black half-life Mix on winterls haggard palette. NORMAN LEVITT SUNRISE I sat upon a mossy rock, Waiting for the sun. to rise Above the dark green mountains Silhouetted against the sky. Below, white waves of mist Rolled over the yellow-green ffelds Spotted with silos and barns. Each tree stood out, distinct, And I could almost see each leaf, Each blade of grass glistening with dew. And then, from above the mountain came A dazzling brilliance of splendor. Many saw that first ray of light, But only I saw the rich detail In the last hour of the night, In the light before the day. ROBERT STRICHARTZ 30 l 0lfYL OUR MULTI-SIDED SKY The sky is feathered, to the touch, for lzearts that soar that high. The sky is diznpled, at twilig-ht, inviting to the eye. The sky is a resting place, in which zcearied souls may sink to sleep. The sky is an all enveloping chamber, simple, yet dark and deep. STEVE LUTZKER SONG ,Round the lamp post we must go, We must go, We must go. Why we must we do not know, Do not know, Do not know. We would stop if we knew where, We knew where, We knew where. We could ever go from there, Go from there, Go from there. ROBERT STRICHARTZ marhnedo owing
