W YYVW lfarly on the morning of February 20th, some sixty-hve knowledge-seeking seniors and five teach- ers gatherefl on the steps of Midtown and prepared to initiate the annual Washington trip. The purpose of this trip is to give the seniors an opportunity to witness government in action and thereby gain a hetter perspective of how our eountry is run. Of eourse, the seniors flirt more than just view great huilrlings. Perhaps the most heneficial part of the trip was a ehanee to ohserve eongressional eom- miltees in aetion. The elass saw Senator javits testify on eivil rights legislation. several oil executives speak on the oil situation as a result of the Suez erisis. anml others on equally important suhjeets. Most of the seniors also managed to speak to at least one representative or senator ancl therehy hetter nnmlerstanal the worlcl's prohlems. The most sueeess- ful antl influential of the stuclents. of eourse, were those eonstituents like Roh Kimhall, who soon gained aeeeptanee as an olheial Wasliirigtcnii lohhy. This yearis senior class had the priy ilelae of heing adclresserl hy Mr. Ewan Clague. Uireetor of the Bureau of Lahor Statistics. llr.

Or ls It? Actually, one needs both in the process of compiling a literary publication at the Fieldston School. In addition to these fundamental tools of communication, the Editors and Staffs of the current chronicles in circulation must also be equipped with a mechanical smile, a bottle of Miltown, and a big stick. As you know, the Fieldston News Editorship was predominantly male in Walter Daum and Alan Berger. ln spite of their inherent virility and strength of character, the burden and strain of their respective positions have left their mark. Poor Walter is greying, and Alan has gambled away his salary in card- games on the Washington trip and at the race-track. He has also been perman- ently dwarfed by the blows he received from our own President l Queen Alioevl Kinzler. We now refer our more complacent readers to the present state of the Editor of the Lit. Mag. This years New Inklingsv was conceived in the sweat and blood of an unknown-Dick Brown. Finally, may we call your attention to the condition of your very own year- book editors: As the pictures on page sixty indicate, the diligent sextet has reverted to senility. Fred is expecting his draft notice, Jill has been deported to Greenwich Village, John and Dan are still being hounded by a well-known F ieldston swimming coach who has been heard muttering something about. an pcclzzl acltled at urns, rnacle up o members ot the ,viii sing zz Cru l Chorus by Fa s Saturday, the he small oucj g ic music lovers i sang most of l program. and . lston igtil was tl' 7ft'.S'.ff01l6Z!

One dictionary dehnition of a festival reads: A season devoted periodically to some form of enter- tainment. This definition is applicable to only one phase of Fieldston's institution, the Festival. As first formers we look forward to working on our first festival to see what it is like. We find that it is a time to work creatively, to attempt a Hnished performance which at the beginning of rehearsals seemed impossible. We realize, perhaps for the first time, that there is more to a play than just acting- there is the scenery, the lighting, the costumes, all of which must be perfect. We discover that Working together can be fun and how many of our friends have talents that up to now have been undiscovered. This year the first form decided to put on Gilbert and Sullivan's entertaining H.M.S. Pinaforen. With the help of Miss Tomasone, Mr. Werthman and the members of the Art Department, the production was quite a success. The acting was excellent, the singing was superb, and the sets were delightful. Among those in lead roles were Nancy Wolfe, Susan Harvey, Bob Levy, Charles Braun, Jane Lon- tinez, Nora Kan, Margie Bessin, Ed Gaines, Jay Lagemann, Danny Jaffee, and Chris Flory. Now the First formers take their seats in the audi- torium to watch other festivals, only to rise again in their senior year for their final showing before graduation. H. M. S. PINAFCJRE
