LIFE What is life? Is life just the course or mode of existence, or is it a flower, a newborn baby, a beating heart, or something else you associate with things that are alive? There is no formal answer. Life means something different to each individual, but we all know that without it we would not exist. Another thing we realize is that life is not simple anymore. Mixed within the happiness and joys of living are also the times of sadness and disappointment. Our lives at East Rockaway High School have included all these emotions. As a class we have experienced defeat, success, glory, and accomplishment. We worked together as one to achieve the goals and ideals we set for ourselves. When we graduate, the memories of the past six years will stay with us. It is with these words that the Senior class presents the Best of 1975.

Credits go to the Senior Class, the .ESTOF 1975 Yearbooks don’t just pop out of anywhere. They have to be created. To be created, and pulled together in an original manner, they must have a theme. LIFE. Sounds easy to think of, doesn’t it? Not to our editorial staff, it didn’t. The eight of us fought continuously through those hot summer night meetings trying to agree on a theme. Finally, the theme was picked, but that was just the beginning. The arguments were over, but new problems arose. What about the cover? How many pages should we allow for sports? When is the first deadline? There were plenty of questions, but not enough answers. That’s where Mr. Honig, our invaluable advisor, came in. He patiently answered our questions, calmed our feelings of inexperience, and literally got us going. If not for his initial push, this book would never have gotten off the ground. Mr. Honig’s job as an advisor was just that — he advised us. When you actually came down to it, the book was left entirely to us. This yearbook was not the work of just one person. Luck was with us all the way and we were fortunate enough to have a class who cared. It was a result of almost Va of the class, involved in one way or another, working together. But credit must go where credit is due. Behind all the work stood competent editors, pushing their staffs until the work was done, sacrificing and utilizing their time, ability, and even some sleep to meet the deadlines. We have Stephanie Bcnning and Janinc Frerk to thank for our beautiful and well-done literary work. A huge amount of credit must go to Heidi Hofmann, our An Editor, who put together the beautiful artwork throughout the book, and to Janice Cartmell, our Typing Editor, who almost always received a rush order to be done that day. Excellent photography speaks for itself. If not for our Photography Editor, Gerard Grcmsc, it would have been hard to come by. The business end of the book was kept up superbly by our Business Manager, Carolyn Stanganelli. Special thanks goes to my Assistant Editor, Robin Williams. She was always there when I needed her, whether it was for doing lay-outs, or just doing all those small jobs that needed to be done. To all these people I say thank you for your devoted effort. Enjoy life; it’s worth living. Emily Lemer Editor-in-Chief
