LIBERTAS 1961 LIBERTY CENTRAL SCHOOL Liberty, New York FOREWORD As citizens of a changing world, we are forced to meet a dif- ferent challenge every day of our lives. Our four years in high school have prepared and conditioned us to face these challenges with courage and intelligence. The wide variety of courses and activities offered and the teachers dedicated to instructing us are the assets our school has offered in preparation for future life. This issue of Libertas is intended not only to record the events of our school years, but to show how we, as graduating seniors and future voting citizens of America, have met the challenges confronting us thus far in life, with the aid of those devoted to helping us. It is our fondest hope that we can meet the challenges of adult life as successfully as we have met those of our four years in high school. DEDICATION MR. WILLIAM YATES We, the class of 1961, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. William Yates, a devoted teacher and a true friend. Mr. Yates, a graduate of St. Lawrence and Columbia Uni- versities, has served our class both in junior and senior high school. He taught us seventh grade science and at present, he instructs courses in chemistry and physics. During our high school years, Mr. Yates has generously offered his services to us when we have called upon him for aid. In the field of science, he has helped us “meet the challenge” by wisely teaching courses to educate and inform us as to recent achievements. It is with gratitude and devotion that we dedicate the 1961 LIBERTAS to Mr. William Yates. 3 THE LIBERTAS Left to right: Diane Friedman, literary editor; Jeri Gips, Editor-in-Chief.

In America, we have grown great as a nation among nations, conquered a frontier, produced the leaders to lead us victoriously through two world conflicts, manu- factured the missiles and the armaments to deliver these missiles to set men free and keep them free over a wide area of the world. However, we must not bend all our efforts to the training of scientists alone just because science seems so important in present world politics. There must be a continuing stress placed on social sciences, those subjects which teach men to get along better with each other. We must search out our superior students and challenge their intellects through an en- riched curriculum and through special projects that will make them eventually the well-endowed leaders we need. ADMINISTRATION Human capacity is being challenged to the utmost by the awesome requirements of today’s world. Education is the means of keeping men free and making them capa- ble of meeting these challenges. An educational program of the highest quality, stress- ing the full development of each student’s potentiality and fostering the pursuit of excellence in intellectual endeavor has been and will continue to be the policy of the Liberty school system. The addition of adequate and up-to-date facilities will enable the faculty and students to take greater advantage of the intangible and tangible offerings of our educational system which will continue to be at- tuned “to the times.” I urge students to make full use of these opportunities so they can become happy and constructive citizens of our democracy.

ADVISERS OFFICERS M rs. J. Wilson Mr. G. Hansen Miss M. Mauer Mr. P. Dye M. Wale—Treasurer R. Fiddle—Secretary K. Calkin—Vice-President N. Stewart—President 76 OUR 78 SENIORS 79 Mrs. Barbuti and Jeri are ready to work. Did she really, Mrs. Grant? Alvin puts his two cents in the game. THIS IS YOUR LIFE Do you remember this saying in the past? “My advice to you is to stay single and stay sober.” This admonition came from the old man in room 16. a place familiar to many gum chewers. Soon afterward we graduated to the third floor, to begin our high school years. The date was September 3, 1957 fa Tuesday, fortunately for Francis Darby.l On that day many of you. new to the school, lost all sense of direction and help- lessly struggled with locker combinations. However, all was not lost that year. With the help of Mrs. Neumann, Mr.Ippolito. and NTiss Mann, our class officers. Terene Lindsley, President. Austin Decker, Vice-President. Rocky Fiddle, Secretary, and Lewis Gerow, Treasurer, started us off on the long humpy road which might even- tually lead to graduation. We plunged excitedly into the quest for knowledge, with algebra, science, cit. ed.. and language to both confound and absorb us. Poor Mr. Witherwax found himself with a bevy of giggling girls on his hands in physical educa- tion. None of us will ever forget cheering for the DUSO champs that year, right. Patsy? Our education in cit. ed. was momentarily interrupted one day when one of Mr. Nickou’s snakes sent the girls flying for safety. Also that year. Mr. Ippolito eternally christened Barbara as “Sam.” Remember, too. w'hen we used to count Mr. Nickou’s “Um-hums?” It was “Strictly for the Rirds that year. At our class party in April. Susan Gilman. Esta Chesler. Bob Gordon, Stephen Pachter. and the gang entertained us with a one- act comedy. Are We Dressing? Then came our first high school finals. Somehow we lived through them, and before we knew it, it was the long-awaited vacation time. Soon it was September, 1958. I’m sure you’ll recognize these sayings: “You poor children, you just don’t know what you don’t know.” “What do you want to be? A pin- headed idiot?” These were heard so frequently in our Sophomore year as we learned of congruent triangles and relived the French Revolution. In addition, we suffered through those awful dissections in Room 39 and constructed tottering Shakespearean theaters. Dan Tudor achieved class fame by arriving “promptly” every morning at 9:02, and Bob Danzer did too, by fainting in biology class. That year Terene again took the helm, and was ably assisted by Dale Deutsch,. Joan O’Sullivan, and Lewis Gerow. With their direction, we took over the harrassing job of selling the N.Y. Times, adding needed dollars to our treasury. Then December came, and Mr. Yates, Mr. Gerber, and Miss Johnson supervised the production of “Winter Wonderland.” A wintry scene transformed the gym, and we were entertained by a hilarious parody of “To Tell The Truth.” Roger Rattner was the “M.C.” and Marc Shulman, Dorrine Shimm. and Susan Gilman added to the fun. Those of us who were bearing the brunt of Mr. 82 CLASS OF 1961 Gerber’s exclamations in class had a chance to retaliate at the Honor Society Bazaar where he posed helplessly as a target for custard pies. Needless to say, it was quite a financial success, though few of us appreciated the chore of cleaning up afterwards. And so ended our sophomore year, after the usual bout with exams in June. Do you recognize these quotations? “You want to be a clown—then be a clown!” “You wanna be a Cousy? Ya gotta practice. Throw a few extra shots there or run a few extra yards!” Those of us who were Latin students readily recognize the first one; the second one, none of us will ever forget. In our Junior year, we elected Sonia Klass Secretary, and Dorrine Shimm, Treas- urer, and Terene and Dale retained their important posts. Our advisers were Mr. Van Slyke, Miss Knoll, and Miss English. Remember when Miss Wertman kept the entire girls’ gym class after school for misconduct, and that frantic last minute experiment rush in room 33? In November, under the direction of Mrs. Dowling, we presented “Class Ring, starring Harriet Diamond, who had preferred playing the field to steady dating with Steve Pachter. Smooth talking Maurice Sacks almost convinced Harriet to desert Steve, and Marc Shulman (college manl added to her trouble. Will you ever forget Sam and Patsy dressed as a horse? And Steve sitting on a pie, causing shaving cream to splatter over furniture borrowed from Barbuti’s store, making Jimmy turn pale? Some of our class tended the football and coat concessions, peddling hot chocolate and begging fellow students to “please” check their coats. The basketball team re- ceived a boost when Miss English and Miss Knoll joined the crowd to root for Herman. As January drew to a close, Marc Shulman’s carefully cultivated “Van-Dvke” heralded the arrival of “Beat,” our novel class party. Dripping candles on checkered tablecloths, black leotards and red beanies set the atmosphere. Joyce, Dorrine, Susan, and Diane wrote a beatnik version of Little Red Riding Hood, entitled “Little Stella Red Beanie.” The play was featured by “Jake” as Stella, students lounging in weird beatnik dress, and by the antics of Dale and Joel, who never got together on their knocks. Perhaps the best was Marc’s satirization of a deodorant commercial. That year our exasperated teachers noted the arrival of our class jewelry, as students spent their class time admiring their new rings. Then in April we sat in THIS IS YOUR LIFE assembly listening to campaign speeches as the mad scramble for the student council officers ended. Norman and Kathy, Maurice and Joyce, and Dale and Terene were rivals, with Dale and Terene emerging victorious. Then came the long summer in which we impatiently awaited our Senior year. During our present school year, these words have become quite common: “I ask the questions. I answer the questions.” “All right now, Gordon, that’s one detention.” “If you Seniors don t sell those tickets, you’ll have to pay for your yearbooks.” Now the long-awaited Senior year, with the thrill of being in the first rows at assemblies, was upon us. Twenty-eight of us were startled by our homeroom desks in room 26, which weren’t desks at all, but strange looking language booths (“Please don’t hang on the booths.”) We soon found that the year we had been looking forward to, relaxing in the pure glory of being Seniors, was the busiest year of all. Our officers, Norman, President. Kathy, Vice-President, Rocky. Secretary, and Marise. Treasurer, combined with Mr. Hansen. Miss Mauer. Mr. Dye, and Mrs. Wilson, to prod the Seniors to work. This year the Seniors became the leaders, assuming impor- tant posts throughout the school: Esta Chesler, Editor-in-Chief of Comment; Sonia Klass, Safety Patrol Captain: Jeri Gips, Editor-in-Chief of Libertas; and Dale and Terene, supervising Student Council. With only $960.57 to our credit and expenses mounting daily, we immediately began our magazine drive. After a vigorous campaign, we surpassed our goal of 83,000, assuring us that the prediction of a paper-covered Libertas would not befall us. Then hard-working Dorrine Shimm, Libertas Business Manager, started the impor- tant yearbook drive. After that was under way, we began preparations for our Christmas Dance. “Snowflake Serenade” was a great success, thanks to the ideas of Brenda. Amy, Harriet, and Francis. The focal point of the dance was a precariously revolving Christmas tree. Then a dedicated band of Seniors braved the half-time hordes at the basketball con- cession to augment our treasury. As spring approached, College Boards, applications, interviews and scholarship tests kept us in a constant whirl. Evidence of this turmoil could be found throughout the school. A turn of the wrong key by some “helpful” Senior found Miss Mauer’s homeroom stranded in the hall for a half-hour after an assembly. Then one day the student body was in an uproar when the entire Liberty fire department rushed to the school, sirens screaming, in response to a false alarm. Then we were summoned to a special assembly. (“All right, don’t ya have a home? You’re always on the prowl or what is it? Riding around in cars!”) Remember when Bill Kapp was discovered “cat-napping” by Miss Knoll in math class? To add to the confusion, test papers, keys, and an attendance register were mysteriously missing from Mr. Herr’s room. The addition of Pat McBride and the loss of several Seniors kept the Libertas staff busy rearranging pages. One Saturday 84 CLASS OF 1961 morning, our class intelligentsia was left stranded with no bus to take them to a Senior Star lecture. Even stranger were the incidents that took place on March 24th. It was no optical illusion if you saw the Senior girls, dressed entirely in black, weaving up and down the halls single file or bunny-hopping through the gym yelling “Knock on Wood.” With that unusual advertising, plus Kathy’s untiring ef- forts to sell tickets, our class presented, that same evening, a mystery-comedy. “Knock on Wood,” directed by Mr. Dye. (“If you can’t learn the lines, you can’t put on the play!”) Mr. Pynn, a detective played by Jimmy Barbuti. his assistant, Maurice Sacks, and Terene Lindsley, a lady in distress, provided the mystery. Comedy was also evident as Steve Pachter cavorted about the stage dressed in girl’s clothes and later in red polka dot shorts. Not to be overlooked were Mary Jacobs’ portrayal of Mrs. Jasper, and the unchanneled enthusiasm of Gordon and Tudor, who nearly wrecked the set, as curtains, chair covers, and doors collapsed. The play proved to be a success although we didn’t sell as many tickets as the Juniors. Then came our Senior Banquet held at the Lenape Hotel on April 22. How we ever got everything ready for it many of us will never know. Miss Mauer spent weeks prodding the class president, the central organizing committee and ‘the committee chairmen Marise Wale, Terene Lindsley, Robert Wenger, and Jeri Gips to do their jobs. It was very obvious the night of the banquet that they had come through. In the tastefully decorated dining room featuring our class colors and flower, red and white carnations, we spent most of the evening chuckling over the presentation of our class history, last will and testament, and prophecy and an original song por- traying the memorable events of our Senior year. The rest of the year was a busy one with the Libertas staff working desperately to meet their deadlines; with the baseball, track, and golf teams trying to reschedule their games and meets on non-rainv days, of which there were so few; with the new English IV teacher attempting to teach us what we had failed to learn so far: and with the Senior Prom committees preparing to make our last high school dance an unforgettable one. On June 3, our Senior Prom Almost Summer, took place in a beautiful blue, white, and pink scene featuring an old mill, thanks to the ideas of Brenda and Mr. Downs, art teacher replacement. The last few weeks of school fairly flew, and when we had struggled through final exams, we came to the greatest event of our high school career, graduation. As we sat in caps and gowns at our commencement exercises on Monday, June 26, we were filled with mixed emotions as we thought of our years at L.C.S. and of the prob- lems facing us in the adult world. However, nothing could ever equal the feeling of satisfaction we experienced that evening as we marched out of the gym together, firmly grasping our coveted diplomas. 85 By M. Wale and A.

Led by co- captains Joel Goldberg, Billy Blume, and Roger Eichenauer, the Indians have stfong hitting, good pitching, and a very capable infield. This year’s track and field squad, co-captained by Herm Rosh and Dale Deutsch, has many boys who are outstanding in one particular phase of running, the weights, etc. Thus far, they have done very well for a school without its own track. The golf team this year seems quite strong, even though two of last year’s regulars left. It is hoped that Sabloff and Decker will give the team a big lift. 104 Will it be a hit or a miss?

WENRICH GIRLS’ AND Meeting the challenge of keeping students in good physical condition, extracurricular sports are offered in addition to the regular gym classes. Girls take over the gymnasium on Monday and Wednesday noons, while the boys use it on Tues- days and Thursdays, to play badminton, basket- ball, and volleyball. In the fall the boys use the athletic field and in the spring, baseball is the main sport for both boys and girls. Bowling leagues are also formed at the beginning of the school year with the students traveling to the new Liberty Lanes after school. Friday noons, co-ed volleyball is played in the gym. At the end of the school year at a special awards assembly, students receive chenille letters and class numerals for their parti- cipation in the various extracurricular sports. CHEERL JOYCE O'HEARN MARY JACOBS Co-Captain Chosen on the basis of ability, character, personality, personal appearance, and lead- ership, eight high school girls represent the students as cheerleaders during the school year. Miss Marianne Bookniiller, girls’ athle- tic director, meets with the girls twice a week for practice giving them hints for better cheering at the football and basketball games.

Peter, his assistant, and Ned, his nephew who came to borrow some money, find themselves involved in an intri- cate entanglement of mystery and hilarious confusion. Their girlfriends help solve the dilemma and discover some unusual surprises in the process, the most unusual one being that Mr. Pynn had planned the whole mystery in order to test Peter’s ability. SENIO ‘Twas in the fall of ‘60, we at last had reached our goal. We were the mighty seniors, we didn’t need to be told. Of course we thought we had it made—with nothing much to do But many a shock we had in store and we’ll tell them now to you. First it was subscriptions, go out and sell they said We organized with Etess, Sacks, and Lindsley at the head. We sold and sold and sold some more, our goal to meet and pass We thought that’s all we had to do, but we were wrong, alas. We are the senior class, the class of sixty-one Poor little seniors, our work’s not nearly done. It’s study, write, and buy and sell and work hard, you can bet ’Cause if we don’t, Mrs. Hasbrouck says, “You may not make it yet.” And then it was December, time for our Christmas Dance The Snowflake Serenade had put us all in quite a trance. “Do bring blue Christmas balls” they said “to make it real ornate.” There is no doubt about it—the gym sure looked first rate. In preparation for our play, the mystery “Knock on Wood” With Mr. Dye to lead the way, our actors became good. Barbuti, Sacks, and Lindsley, the lady in distress, Mary, Eileen and Steve who as some young female did dress. But tickets galore we had to sell—there was no matinee If enough money we didn’t make; we seniors had to pay For Libertas, the banquet, too, so Mr. Hansen said And urged us all to sell and sell—poor Kathy was nearly dead! Rev. and Mrs. Page BANQUET APRIL 22, 1961 RITIS One day the seniors wore all black so sales would reach the top They filed around the hails and even tried the bunny hop. The play was quite successful, with money in the till. But we still need lots of money to pay ev’ry single bill. We are the senior class, the class of sixty-one Poor little seniors, our work’s not nearly done. It’s study, write, and buy and sell and work hard, you can bet ‘Cause if we don’t, Mrs. Hasbrouck says, “You may not make it yet.” As for the yearbook Libertas, Jeri would surely bet That ours will be outstanding, the very best one yet With Leslie’s pictures, Brenda’s art, the staff to work ne’er fails. Our bills will certainly be paid with Dorrine pushing sales. Now we’re at our banquet having lots of fun Miss Mauer and Norman surely will be glad when it is done; And then the prom will take our time with beautiful decor As we all go a dancing around the ballroom floor. But then too soon the end will come and with it graduation. Diplomas awarded to us will give us quite a new sensation.

Signed, THE CLASS OF 1961 123 PROPHECY OF THE The class of 1961 was surprised at its Senior Banquet to hear the following predic- tions for its future through a glimpse at an important television program in January. 1985. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Today has been a great day in the lives of us all. For the first time in the history of the United States the people have chosen a woman to lead them as president of this great democracy. Today, January 20, 1985, will live in infamy as the day a woman earnestly repeated the oath of office as the first female President of the I nited States. This evening, as I sit watching the magnificent inaugural hall. 1 can not help joining my prayer with that of the nation for her success. This is Susan Gilman with the Gilman-Friedman Report on behalf of Channel 61 with the on-the-spot coverage. From all parts of our country men and women have come to participate in the festivities, and you are just in time to w'itness the moment we have all been waiting for. Here comes the new President of the United States. President Terene Lindsley, escorted this evening, as always, bv her top adviser. Norman Stewart, is surely the envy of every woman present. She is wearing a Brenda Johnson creation of dazzling McBride green, a color chosen bv the President as a reminder of St. Patricks Day, 1961. The gown is sprinkled with stardust acquired by its designer in outer space during a recent fashion show on Mars, where, incidentally. Miss Johnson won great acclaim. In the President’s party is one of her chosen cabinet members. Attorney General Ardis Matthews. Mr. Matthews won national fame, you’ll remember, with his investi- gation of teamster president Robert Gordon and his activities with Allen Goldman. Brooklyn borough president. Mr. Goldman was said to have repeated 187 times at the hearing, “What’s wrong with Brooklyn?” As the President enters the ballroom. Vice-President Robert Wenger is the first to greet her. Tomorrow, Mr. Wenger will relinquish his position as salesmanager of the Brand X Cigarette Company, and assume his duties as Vice-President. Coming through the grand entrance now is Maurice Sacks, talented leading man in the fine movie, “The Bow-legged Kid.” Sacks is escorting Gloria Schwartz, heiress to millions: Miss Schwartz is the owner of the Schwartz Bungalow Colony, well-known resort in the Catskills. Following them are some of this country’s great athletes. Two of the members of the U.S. Olympic team, Jeri Gips and Mary Jacobs, are entering now. Mary was injured last year when she fell from the gymnastics rings, but she is looking fine tonight. The girls are being escorted by All-Americans Joel Goldberg and Herman Rosh, remembered for their team work and fair play, and as the recipients of the 1984 “Most Humble Player” award. I can’t quite see who the next gentleman is—Oh, yes. It’s Ambassador to Israel, Michael Collins. With him is Secretary of Moon Affairs, Peter Donovan. We were CLASS OF 1961 very sorry to hear that another famous dignitary, Francis Darby, could not attend tonight. It is rumored that Mr. Darby has gone to Nuremburg, Germany, investi- gating the legitimacy of certain trials said to have occurred there. I notice that the President is having a few words with famed artists, Michael Kavleski and Marvin Roth, who have been hired to redecorate the White House. Some say that they are obtaining ideas from Louise Earle, famed art consultant. With the gentlemen are hair stylist Donna Dunbar and Jacklyn Barrv, authoress of the best seller. How Not to Type an Outline. Oh, there’s an unusual couple on the dance floor. It’s defeated Presidential candi- date Marc Shulman, who was so disappointed at his defeat that he said he would never dance again. His partner, Joyce Yaeger, editor of “Tradition Magazine,” must have changed his mind. This is such an exciting evening with celebrities everywhere, and most of them have been photographed by Leslie Howard and his assistant Warren Grossman. As you probably know, they are members of the photography staff of one of New York’s finest newspapers, owned by Esta Chesler, “The Comment.” There are so many people here that Jerry Siegel’s limousine service must have made thousands of dollars. Speaking of making money, I imagine that beauty and make-up salons, such as the Skolnick-Fiddle Salon For Beautiful Women, have made a fortune in preparation for the ball. Caterers Geiver, Garfinkel, Tanzman. and Spector have also been very busy pre- paring and are now serving the most unusual delicacies. I have been told when the newly appointed White House dietician Dorrine Shimm was asked if she could prepare the feast she replied, “I just don’t know.” She certainly did a fine job, and everyone seems to be enjoying the savory edibles. In case of over-indulgence or over- excitement, nurses Janet Hill and Arlene Schmouth are in attendance. It was an- nounced on an earlier program that Doctor Harvey Etess, President Lindsley’s per- sonal physician, was to be here also, but to his dismay this morning he was stricken with a swelling of the head due to an abscessed tooth. He called in Burton Yust, Doc- tor of Dental Surgery, who has the doctor under sedation now. We certainly feel sorry for Dr. Etess for we know he would enjoy the ball. I notice some interesting personalities on the other side of the room, so I 11 turn the program over to Diane Friedman—but first a word from our sponsor. Here is Eileen Langer, salesmanager for Deutsch’s Department Store, with a few timely words: Frank Kelsey was a dull, dull boy, He never had much fun. One day he bought a jacket here, Now girls come on the run. 125 PROPHECY OF THE We hope your choice will be the same As Frank’s, “the thinking man.” He’s now a rich, old millionaire: A Dale Deutsch jacket fan. So if you want to look real sharp, Have friends and loves galore, Buy the jacket that looks the best At the Dale Deutsch Department Store. And if you cannot find one That suits you to a T”, The store belongs to Daley boy. So please don’t bother me! Thank you, Eileen. Now here’s Diane who, because of her station on the other side of the floor, will be able to describe the activities there. Diane? Thank you, Susan. On this side of the ballroom, nightingale Alice Hill and accompanist Roger Eiche- nauer have been entertaining us with songs. Near the stage, Renee Morgans and Joan O’Sullivan, two of Washington, D.C.’s society leaders, are being photographed by the President’s personal photographer. Eli Sloves. Former heavy-weight champion James Barbuti has just arrived escorting authoress Peggy Short who recently published a best selling book of her high school memoirs. All the guests seem to be enjoying the evening, and famed scientist Francis Myers is no exception. Mr. Myers, you’ll remember, advised by Vicki LeRoy, head of the Atomic Energy Commission, invented, produced, and launched an interplanetary capsule carrying Patsy Lawrence to Venus last July. He is now developing a special atomic-powered rocket to send a horse to Patsy from the Milton Ratner Stables. Lewis Gerow. Frank Hook, and Daniel Millis, Mr. Myers’ aids, announced that the rocket may be completed in April of this year. Coming onto the dance floor now is Stuart Heller, business manager for Mr. Shulman. the defeated dancing candidate, and his assistant, Joel Kaplan. These gentlemen are escorting Secretary of the Treasury Marise Wale and Secretary to the President, Gertrude Broadhead. Also dancing are costume designer Carol Borden and William Kapp, the renowned Sen- ator who led a record breaking filibuster of 228 hours against a hill formulated by Harvey Smith for black instead of white highway lines. Senator Smith felt that the change would make it easier for him to drive. Who is that arriving now with so many lovely ladies? It’s millionaire playboy Roger Rattner. With him are Anne Fiddle, Mr. Rattner’s personal secretary, Sheila CLASS OF 1961 Zeller, U.S. Ambassador to England, and Kathy Calkin, campaign manager for the President. Miss Calkin made many of the arrangements for tonight’s hall, especially the selling of the tickets. Sitting to my right in a group are many of our Congressmen, Robert Danzer. Gary Gerow, Robert Grant, and Pat Quinlan. They seem to he discussing the effect of a woman president on interplanetary relations. I just noticed U.N. Ambassador Daniel Tudor on the dance floor. Ambassador Tudor made headlines recently when, after being asked if we will be friendly to Russia during this administration, he answered, “Why not!” Talking to the ambassa- dor now is Speaker of the House Howard Waldas. These gentlemen arrived escorting Marjorie Burns, Ruth Krauspe, Judy Yaun, and Pat Soules who have recently merged their private agencies to form a million dollar business of Secretaries Unlimited. The agency’s slogan is “Have shorthand pad, will travel” and secretaries from there have been known to travel even into remotest outer space. A few more late-comers are arriving now. The great baseball star Austin Decker has just come in, and de- feated Vice-Presidential candidate Robert Sabloff has just arrived escorting Donna Muhlig. the elementary teacher famous for her illustrations in children’s books. I notice that a great conference is taking place near the camera between Barbara Watson and Sonia Klass who are writing a new history book based on the fact that the world is flat—I’m sure it will be interesting reading. I just saw Marilyn Solod pass the camera. She has recently been appointed Secretary of Defense by the President. There is indeed a strange sight in the far corner of this enormous room. Amy Knie, who was in charge of the decorations for the ball, is making some last minute changes —and I do mean last minute. That reminds me there is a twinge of sorrow in the festive atmosphere tonight. During the preparations for the ball a great deal of elec- trical work had to be done. Yesterday while doing some of this wiring, Steve Pachter gave his life for his country when he electrocuted himself as he was screwing in a light bulb. As we look about the room at the ball, now winding its way into the morning hours, I can’t help thinking of janitors Alvin Feinhurg and Curtis Parks and their back-break- ing job tomorrow of cleaning the vast scene which is now filled with gaiety and tomorrow will be filled with debris. But it seems that they won’t be able to begin their task until Mr. and Mrs. David E. Panebaker, who haven’t missed a dance all evening, decide to call it a day- Good night, David. Good night, Chet. 127 This page is sponsored by the: LIBERTY FELLOWSHIP ASSOCIATION Yearbook conference at Schenectady No talking on duty! Mike lends a helping hand in math class. Young love???
