THE SOUTHERNER Leonard Jacoff. Editor-in-Chimf THE Great Neck South High School newspaper, The Southerner, was written and published by an enthusiastic staff dedicated to reporting the South High news and features in an interesting, informative style. The newspaper, printed every three weeks for the first half of the year and biweekly thereafter, consisted of four pages. The first page, edited by Bruce Berger, was devoted to news. The second page, the feature and editorial page, was under the aegis of Jackie Hirsch. Southern Slants, could be found on this page. Jackie Winer and Ellen Faber edited the third page, which contained book re- views, poems, essays, and other creative writing. Sports, edited by none other than Arnie Fink, occupied the fourth page, which kept all South fans informed of their teams' successes. This year, Editor-in-Chief of the Southerner was Lenny Jacoff. To him must go much of the credit for a marvelously successful first year. The financial aspect was handled superbly by Business Man- age, Lothar Genge. Thanks to him and his ambitious staff, the Southerner was able to issue its first edition on orange and blue paper and, shortly after, to produce its first six-page edition. Spell- ing mistakes could be blamed on the Copy Editor, Jerry Gelles. The exciting pictures were the product of Howie Dammond, Photog- raphy Editor. But it was Mr. J. Robert O'Toole, faculty advisor, toward whom the staff felt the most gratitude. It was his strong guidance and unswerving loyalty which enabled the staff to publish a paper of the quality of The Southerner. Proof of the popularity of the Southerner could be seen on dis- tribution day. Throughout the building, students awaited their copies and then eagerly turned pages to see what their school newspaper had to offer them in the way of news, opinion, entertainment, or information. On Southerner mornings, homerooms were quiet. 28

This is the work of the business staff, managed by Richard Villany and Jimmy Godwin. Advertisements were procured from village merchants to help cover the costs of production. The typing staff, headed by Helen Smyth and Linda Uhl, worked continuously to make legible copies of all the written material. The faculty advisors. Miss Stevens and Mr. Creighton, gave the Vista staff their time and aid, which led to the achievement of the goal—the production of Vista. On that triumphant June day that marked the arrival of our year- books, distribution of the bright blue volumes was managed by Sue Roach, Nancy Farrell, and their Circulation staff. As pages were turned and appreciative comments delivered, the entire Vista staff could rest satisfied, knowing that its work was finally done. Meeting a deadline. 27
