ARISTA On April 13 approximately one hundred new members, including 30 seniors, were inducted into the Arista Society of our school. The ceremony, of course, was impressive. We remembered how happy we were when first accepted into Arista, some people through interviews, and some, if their average was high enough, auto- matically. In our junior year, all extra-curricular activities were stopped. We waited outside a room anxiously while within the teachers voted on the question of maintaining Arista. Yes, because of the nature of the society and the work done by it for the school we would have our Arista. The Arista outing that year was really an enjoyable one, despite the fact that Ruth Israelite was hoarse for days afterward from singing so much and-so well. We all came back with our skin looking slightly lobsterish, but all for the cause of a good time. In our senior year, Madison went on the air with Joyce Seidman and Ronald Shaw representing Arista on the program. This year also the job of A.M. dis- tribution was completely taken over by Arista. Arista as usual did a splendid job. How could we miss with such people as Adele Cohen, Lynne Riedermann. Maxine Ross, Arlene Kirschenbaum, Jordan Tanenbaum and George Gidal working on it. Now. before closing, Mike and I would like to thank all of Arista and espe- cially Renee Waldman, our secretary, for making our jobs as boy and girl leader respectively. so pleasant. CAROL GORDON MIKE GUTTERMAN HIGHWAY The members of our graduating class have been outstandingly active in the activities of our school paper, the Highway. We boast no less than three editors- in-chief as our members. This is the first time that this has happened. These past few years have witnessed many activities taken part in by the paper, other than merely publishing a newspaper. Among our other projects have been the complete refurbishing and repainting of our office. complete with a brand new mural painted by a member of our graduating class, Lila Kronstadt. For the first time in its history the school paper put on a show. Consisting of singing, dancing, and skits the show was an outstanding success. But, lest you get the wrong idea. the Highway staff also published a fine paper five times a term. Among the members of our graduating class who have been outstandingly active in the work of the school paper are Ellen Schoengold and Walter Karp, the present Editors-in-Chief, and Marty Siegel, last term's Editor. A host of others have actively participated in the job of producing a school paper. They include Henry Cohen and Gerald Schneider. Sports Editors: Paul Neuhauser, Alan Richter and Linda Brettler. News Editors: Mario Amaya, Susan Goldberg, Willard Zucker, and Ruth Drescher, Feature Editors, and Stan Kroll, Photography Editor. In past years the editors of the Highway have been very successful in college. We hope that we can live up to their standards.
