The senior year has been a memorable- one, highlighted by Senior-Frosh Day, the Senior Ball, Senior Week, and Senior Class Night. Ably assisted by the class advisors, Mrs. Dendy, Mr. Lawson, and Mr. Levin, this graduating class has compiled a long list of accomplishments. Many prizes in music, citizenship, athletics, and scholarship were awarded. Cynthia Blocher was given the Alumni Distinguished Scholarship award of Michigan State University; Lisa Horwitz, the DAR award for citizenship. Steven Ayres, Cyn- thia Blocher, Stefan Leigh, Alan Schwartz, and Edward Ueberall placed as finalists in the National Merit Scholarship contest. In addition, twenty-one qualified seniors won New York State Regents scholarships. It was during their senior year that the varsity football team had a perfect season, and was awarded the Rutgers Cup. The basket- ball team was alro successfu1, finishing first in its league and entering the Section Eight Tournament. Now that their secondary education is at an end, and members of the class prepare to enter schools of higher learning or the w-orld of business, all realize that those diplomas handed at Commence- ment represent more than four years of education; they symbolize a major step forward in life.
