The year started with Mr. Berger informing us that we were to have no homeroom, no English, no social studies, no class meetings - just oceans and oceans of Core. This worked out very nicely until Friday morning when we wanted to know what that extra period wasinmbe called if not class meeting. The nglob of time', we were told. Everyone turned out for our first class party. Monte Carlo was the thenw. It was a close race between Krafty Kaufman and chic, fascinating Peter Donchian for the 'jackpot. The food was wonderful. 4 Since we were reading Tolstoy's War and Peace we decided to see Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment as a comparison of Russian writers. Certain bright characters thought that we had better drama in our own classrooms. Dunkin' Osborne, talented class natator, had an undefeated record in swimming. You couldn't beat Steefel, Williams and Wagner, girl's Varsity sparkplugs, either. In Mr. Donchian we had a staunch Yale rooter. On Fridays when Highlights would return from the printers he would comment, WAh, well, those linotypists are only Harvard men.W We were told that it was tradition to spend at least S60 on the Junior-Senior dance.

Beyond the bounds of Core, some of us were precocious. Joel, Noel, and the Eddies - Prenowitz and Rock - forged ahead in calculus and nu- clear physics. Welmd several advanced language students. We won't easily forget Mr. Mirick's N.Y. Central railroad ride, Mr. Hunter's cockroach class, or Mr. Donchian and his struggle for democracy in the classroom. In February we took over Highlights. With Pat as guiding light, Mark and Muni as right and left hand men, the issues started rolling along. Carl Wagner found his elementas feature editor. AllcH'our budding journalists appreciated the paper. Mr. Adkins let the cat out of the bag about Miss White. So it was not a complete surprise when she returned from a week's vacation with M.W.C. on her handbag.
