KNOWLEDGE BOWL The Sixth Annual Knowledge Bowl, organized by Mr. Quinn, took place on October 21, 23, and 24. Two teams, consisting of pupils from Mr. Ash's and Mr. Lutfey's Social Studies classes, were asked questions about current events. Our school President, Debbie McCray, was the master of cere- monies. The team which answered correctly had a chance at a bonus question. The Mets with captain Stewart Pravda, Paul Tallaksen, Steven Athanail, and Arthur Gold competed against The Jets with captain Joseph Cafiero, James Sargianis, George Garwood, and Ben Spitzer. They battled through three exciting games. The Mets became this year's champions. The judges, Cathy Cantor, Michael Bivona and Debbie, Warburton, were assisted by the authorities, Mr. Norstrand and Mr. Lutfey. The scorekeepers were Arlene Leckie and Lauri Cohen.

It won't be easy because boys like Vinny Lorenzo, Anthony Castelli and Gerald Troini have left. With most of the team's bread and butter men gone, we would have thought it to be impossible to get a winning team together. However, it's a new age and a new year and a new McKinley team!

ARISTA When you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank. Cicefm The word Arista is borrowedfromthe Greekvocabulary meaning 'excellence''---excellence not only scholastically, but also in effort, conduct, and service to the school. Each student chosen for this honor society must prove worthy by maintaining an 85'Z, or better in every major subject and must achieve a combination of A to B plus in effort and conduct during his stay at McKinley. Arista is a student's reward for his hard work. We are very appreciative for devoted teachers like Miss Ita Conti. She diligently works with the Arista and she is responsible for the excellent reputation Arista has attained. Miss Conti has been in charge of Arista for three years. McKinley is very proud of its Arista members. Jody Hedlund 9H1 MEMBERS OF ARISTA 1970-1971 BOTTON ROW C1-rj: S. Jacobs, G. Ludvigsen, J. Morley, W. Bartone, R. Levine, A. Gold, B. Karabinls.
