T Q --Q-.. wg ,..,Q--'- . PAM CALDWELL-gi1'l.r' .vporlr U VISTA HIS year the Vim: staff set out with one main objective-to put out a yearbook, As evidenced by these pages, the editors were triumphant in fulfilling their primary desire. The task seemed fairly simple at the beginning of the year with ten months to work on it, but the editors were soon disillusioned. Attempting to improve upon yearbooks of previous years, the staff decided to have bigger and better group pictures, larger senior port- raits, more candids, life-like faculty pictures, better coverage of school activities and classes, and a features section. The result, of course, was more work. The editors eventually awakened to what more work meant. The increases in coverage and the addition of thirty pages were to be Hnanced through increased sales and advertising. Although sales and advertising did increase slightly, they did not bring in enough money for the originally planned book, and the features section had to be cut down. The staff, headed by Peter Mannello, did manage to over- come all other obstacles, and with the aid of faculty advisors Miss Passamonti and Mr. Creighton initiated many firsts in what has turned out to be the 1964 yearbook.

DEPARTMENT HIS year the English Department was very much in the mood of Shakespeare's 400th anniversary. In the beginning of the year, many senior English classes went on a field trip to the Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford, Connecticut, to see King Lear. Later on in the year, an educational acting company came to the school to per- form the love scenes from Henry V, Hrzmlef and The Tiziiiiizg of The Shrew. Sophomores viewed the film, fzilizif Caemr. The department also helped to prepare a series of assemblies in conjunction with six other high schools. Among the speakers were Norman Cousins and poet William Meredith. Through these literary undertakings, the de- partment stimulated students' interest and heightened their apprecia- tion of the arts. There were three new teachers standing before the English classes this year: Miss Barck, Mrs. McCullough, and Mr. Howell. A conlrorierrial rzalemeizr igiziler lhe cliziir. MRS.

In addition to publishing poems, essays, short stories, and satire, a fac- ulty and a student tribute to President Kennedy and a series of editorial car- toons appeared in the two issues. This year marked the end of Mr. Robert O'Toole's able sponsorship, as Mrs. Waldman became sponsor at mid- year. 15 Bach mu'-K. Galdston, Shapiro. R. Mendel B. Firestone, H. Reichman. 4 'I
