MOVIE (moo've) n. A SERIES OF FILMED IMAGES VIEWED IN RAPID SUCCESSION TO CREATE THE ILLUSION OF MOTION AND CONTINUITY. Our lives in East Rockaway High School hove been quire similar ro the definirion of this banal word. We, too, hove been mere images Through rhe eyes of fellow dossmores os we passed each other rhrough rhe hallways ond sor in dosses together. The reels began spinning when we become Freshmen. And in rhe course of rhe showing, we realized that more than just o simple plot was unfolding before our eyes. Together os o doss, we discovered many of rhe hidden meanings in our lives — always growing closer. To form rhe entire picture, we combined rhe joys of life with rhe ogony of defeat. And os rhe film reels of our minds keep turning, we will also view over and over rhe rapid succession in which our high school days hove passed. Motion ond continuity hove filled our school rime ond rime again. This was evident os we watched our stunt men (and women) ploying sports, our entertainers creating roles on our own stage, our screen writers” working hard ro produce the Gull and rhe Rock, ond our own Academy of Arts and Sciences helping ro improve our school’s reputation. For four years this compilation of stills, short subjects, features, rear jerkers, love stories, adventures, dramas, and comedies — together wirh a cast of hundreds — has been in-the-making in our little studio called East Rockaway High School. The Senior Gass will always remember rhe best parr of our lives. We proudly present THE 1983 ROCK. So, as they say in Hollywood, Lights, Camera, ACTION!!! Flip rhrough each frame and enjoy
