A new leader cznne to watch over Lafayette that year. It was your beloved Mrs. Graham, whose pic- ture you'Il see on the wall to your left. Rollie Goldman, Lenny F leish- man, Myrna Katz and Peter Shaw, represented you at their first Brooklyn Borough council meeting, that October. That sign announces Dec. 16, 1955. Everyone remembers that night when the great Junior Showboat marched proudly down the aisles of the Lafayette audi- torium. On the stand to your right is a wax model of your school library with books on the tables to be viewed and bought. That was Lafayette's first Book Fair, which all of you enjoyed and profited from. In the next showcase is a plaque engraved with the stirring phraseg The Birth of Archon March, 1955. Archon madecertain that the halls of Lafayette were well guarded for the safety of the students. To your right is a pair of roller skates, a emomento of the skating party held at Park Circle. It appeared as if everybody took to wheels that night. The coming of May meant Varsity Time was approaching and so Stage Door came to Lafayette. What a show! By June '55 the first Code of Behavior was completed. Here is the original copy preserved forever in a special glass case. Our principal, Mrs. Graham gave everyone a pleasant surprise when she was wed to Mr. Buda, chairman of the Foreign Language Department. In the case to your left are some souvenirs of their honeymoon tour through Europe. We prefer to call the next section of this hall the Athletic Hall of Fame, as your Junior year saw the Lafayette sports world domi- nated by fellow classmates. Joe Lentini was golfing like Ben Hogan On that wall hangs the plaque presented to Lafayette's Cinderella Basketball Team and next to it a badge proclaiming Brooklyn Champs for Soccer.
