Q0. SQUARE DEAL : 10-1. . It umm- Original musicals are presented regularly by Mid- dle College's HThe Bongo Theater Traveling Herd. This one was based on a true story from a November 1987 NY. Times when a group of neigh- borhood teenagers decided to work with police to clean up the drug pushers from Washington Square Park. Under the advice and direction of Paul JabIon and Terry Born, these teens seem to live by the slogan Once in Bongo. always in Bongo. Present Herd members wrote the play and several songs. while the choreography, technical assis- tance and cameo roles were done by former mem- bers. Who needs t'Fame ? PIM PAM PUM With a theme of Unity Is the Key to Our Future . a First Annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration was held on campus. As part of the festivities, there was a performance of PIM PAM PUM . a collection of three Spanish plays. by the Ollantay Center tor the Performing Arts and sponsored by the Humanities Department. The audience was taken on an emo- tional journey as we were projected into the minds of two children viewing enemies from a bridge; soldiers marching to death; and elderly women discussing the men in town tfrom their perspective as former hookers; Holding true to the theme. this presentation united its audience, and we hope another performance like this is in our future. h Life at umrdh-u 124m at uQuardla RECREA TION We re ready. are you?

Usually set around George Washington's birthday during club period, the contest carries this theme through by supplying contestants with cherry pies. This year's first place female winner was LaTonia Bell, while Kenneth Williams ate his way to first place for the males. Do you suppose that they starved themselves the day before? 164. .

How many can say that 'one for all. and all for one' are not just words. but actual truth as well? Most importantly. how many can say that they are true believers in their strife to make their surroundings more pleasant to be in regardless of how long the stay? Such is the way of ' life for the Student Government. - The Student Government of LaGuardia Community College abides : by the words Express to Success , not just for themselves but for r all around them. Their main concern is what we, the students, want and the Government then tries to help us achieve our goals. Yes, success can be measured in many ways, but I think all will i agree that success can be achieved only if there is a strong foun- dation supporting it - Student Government '88.

La Guardiats Sleepers hey are everywhere! All around the nation they exist. but this group can be found exclusively at La Guardia. Although they are not an official club at La Guardia. anyone can become an automatic member by just sleeping anywhere. Who are these peo- ple? They're the sleepers and folks that generally take occasional naps at La Guardia when it seems necessary. Breaks between classes are good opportunities for sleepers to get a quick rest as a reward for working hard. They are not hard to find. Look for them in the cafeteria, Red Carpet Area, the lounges, or the basement. There is really no limit to available sleeping resources. Become a mem- ber. Sleep at La Guardia today!

LaGuardia's image, the College serves the immigrants, poor and disadvantaged. -Sheila Gordon This school is Joe Shenkcr so -Claire Shulman ?resitfent Joseph Shenker O D r. J oseph Shenker stepped down as President of LaGuardia C ommunity College on June 30, 1988 to became President of Bank Street College of Education. He had been President of LaGuardia since the C allege opened with an enrollment of 500. When he left, the C allege had an enrollment of over 16,000 students. As President, Dr. Shenker instituted a comprehensive C ooperative Education Program which effectively combined the career and the classroom into an educational experience. When President Shenker was asked about his greatest accomplishment, he did not name anything such as Middle College or the C ooperative Education Program. He said, I think that the thing that I am most proud of is that LaGuardia has created this grouping of charts which effectively serves the citizens of New York who come to us. And I believe in the vast majority of cases, but not in every case, we are able to help them with their careers, personal lives, and their economic status, and that is what I am most proud of. President Shenker spoke with pride about the faculty and stajf by saying, I also hope the faculty and staffknow how much I appreciate their dedication to LaGuardia and its students. When asked about students, he again spoke with pride. I want them to know how proud I have been to represent them in all the places have gone. I have never had the chance to say thank you to the students. - Christiana Somerville Bridge Reporter At a testimonial given for him, all agreed that LaGuardia owes its present acclaim to our founding President, Joseph Shenker. Thank mu. 'Joe.' 31 Co Serve And ?rotect Police Officers take an oath to serve and protect us. In 1988, we were forced to realize how little protection they themselves have - over 150 officers were killed throughout the United States. New York City lost five of its Finest. In their memory, this book is dedicated to them and their families with our appreciation and respect. Special thanks to Jimmy Higgins and Kathleen of the PBA for their help. 32 - Dedication irhr 1.3.1 34 - FaclStaff OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT: mm Yvette Urquhart.

Earl's perennial smile would greet you when you entered. and the warmth of his personality carried with you when you left. Earl always had the time to go out of his way for you. When you met him. you felt that you met a dear friend. Earl died in November of 1988 and he will be deeply missed. Through this page. we hope to celebrate his memory with Notes from the LaGuardia Recreation Family - those who had the pleasure of working with him throughout the years Their feelings are summarized in a letter to his widow.

Dear Graduates of '87-88: On behalf of Student Government, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on all you have accomplished during your time at LaGuardia. This marks not an end; but, rather, a new beginning in your lives. It is fitting that the Student Government President gives a message to the graduating class. In the case of dynamic Debbie Siff, it is also fitting that a few words be said about her. It seems that Vice Chancellor Carolynn Reid-Wallace made the most appropriate remarks at the Commencement: Meeting Deborah Siff was as important to me as having a chance to meet the Governor of this state, or the Mayor of this city, or for that matter the President of the United States, whom I met on August 14 of this year. Why? Because Debbie reminded me of what courage and determination are. When I learned that she was a mother of two, and that she was the supporting head of household thaving formerly been a welfare recipientl, and that she had not only decided to attend college but had become a dean's list student, President of the Student Government, and a Belle Zeller Scholar - well, all I can tell you is that l was deeply humbled. 68 - Graduation 70 - Gtaduatlon ra uat on 72 - Graduation 1'! ra uat on Ronald Adam?
