FALL DURING THE FALL, a highlight is always the assembly which features a National Honor Society tapping. Glances of envy, smiles of admiration and looks of surprise were on the faces of well-wishers when proudly berobed Mike Fitzpatrick tapped a lucky, jubilant, exuberant Albert Payne.

WINTER fiOT OfiLY ARE these industrious students earning money, but they are getting on- the-job training! James Stratton, Joan Ledford, Jackie Jackson, Harvey Jacobs an- ticipate their Christmas spendings. COZINESS OF THE language laboratory (with its neat, efficient little private booths) is especially nice on a cold, dreary winter ' s day. Constant efforts to improve facilities and opportunities are reflected in the modern set-up. WHITEWHITEWHITEWHITEWHITEWHITEwhitewhitewhitewhitewhite Dramatic talent bursts into full bloom with the presen- tation of the Senior play. Students also get a taste of sophisticated dramatic achievement when professional actors and actresses perform in “School for Wives.” Grateful hearts are in evidence as Thanksgiving holidays neared. A number of GW-ites start working at Thanksgiving for their Christmas jobs and are aided by the special one- week job training class held after school by the DE depart- ment. “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,” resounds as ex- cited students glimpse the first flake of snow. Students strolling down the halls of GW view brightly decorated doors — even some mistletoe! SCA representatives place festive, decorated boxes of goodies under the tree for needy families during the traditional Christmas Assembly. Foreign language classes attempt to sing carols and laughingly wind up with the wrong beat and sometimes the wrong sound! But the Concert Choir makes up for these gay amateurs with their moving presentation of sacred songs and X-mas carols. Warmth and friendliness engulf the school. Homeroom parties and special club celebrations close the last week of school before the much anticipated two-week vacation promising even more and better festivities. Oops! Exam time already! “Students, you’ve had your fun — now to work.” GW-ites crowd into the library, fill empty rooms, and clutter the halls as they study, cram, and grab last minute bits of information. Leafless trees and stubbled, frost-bitten grass surround the school. Inside, life goes on merrily and bubbles with spirit as the new semester offers hope and opportunity to those who learn the hard way: “Good grades don’t come easy.” (Worse luck!) □ 18
