East Rockaway High School - Rock Yearbook (East Rockaway, NY)

We were Freshman and had no chance of winning Rock Rivalry, but we were striving for a success of our own. We really wanted the audience to sit back and chuckle. Our comic strip characters were the first attempt at originality. Come to think of it, it was pretty amusing. We can now realize that the Class of'68 is no different from any other class. We had work to do, and we merely did it. Our originality and creativity just seemed to take effect without anyone realizing. As seniors we now realize that originality and creativity have become our bywords. Therefore, in this our last work, we would like to let our imagination wander freely through the world of Charlie Brown, for who else can be so beautiful in his own innocence? 6

SPEC IA L December 12, 1966 Dear Lucy, Right now I honestly don’t know what to do next. Mrs. Berrin, our class advisor, must leave and it seems like we’ll have to carry on without her help. It's hard to realize how much a person has accomplished until she is gone. We realize that she has helped us to unite as one class. When we succeeded, she succeeded. When we failed, she failed. June 12,1968 Dear Lucy, I really feel bad that no one has expressed his gratitude to her. I wonder, does she ever feel accomplishment? Does she realize that now the Freshmen are Seniors and will graduate in a few days? I really wish I could thank her, but she is gone and maybe it's too late. June 26, 1968 Dear Snoopy, I can’t believe it! Today the Class of ’68 will mount the auditorium stage for the last time. We wish we could give individual thanks to everyone, but that's just impossible. There is one person, though, who advised us in every way that she could. To Mrs. Jaffe, we want to give a special thanks. We want her to realize that we do appreciate the encouragement and advice she gave us. It’s hard for us to express it, but, as Charlie Brown would say, “Gee Snoopy, it’s so nice to have a friend.” February 23,1967 Dear Linus, We have a new security blanket. Mr. Fisher has consented to be our class advisor. He has always befriended our class and now he will be using his ingenuity for the class of '68. June 23, 1967 Dear Linus, Once again we find ourselves without a class advisor. In such a short period of time Mr. Fisher has accomplished so much. It is hard to believe that the Hawaiian Happening and our Prom have been so successful, yet they are now over. It seems like only yesterday when they announced the winners of Rock Rivalry—the Juniors! presenting Rogoroborock. Who but Mr. Fisher could have helped us discover our originality? What else can we say but thank you. 8
