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!

MCKINLEYAN ART Under the careful supervision of Mrs. Puleo, the Art Staff is the backbone of our yearbook. This imaginative group adds both interest and humor to the yearbook. It actually puts the entire yearbook together since it combines theme, articles and pictures. The entire layout and arrangement is handled by the art staff. BUSINESS The Business Staff, perhaps one of the most important of the yearbook, is headed by Mrs. Serrano. This staff collects the ads and boosters which are all vital for keeping this school publication functioning. We all owe many thanks to Mrs. Serrano and the entire staff. PHOTOGRAPHY McKinley's own Candid Camera staff is always on the look. The Photography Staff is supervised by Mr. Arthur Grossman. He works together with the Literary Staff in providing pictures for the yearbook. LITERARY The Literary Staff, which is headed by Miss Paulette De Fina, is assigned the numerous technical jobs which must be completed for a perfect yearbook. The staff, which includes class 9A1, and editors from 9H1, must proofread articles, organize the names of all the graduating students, write paragraphs for the various departments, and write captions for the pictures included in the yearbook. The staff must also interview teachers for feature articles. This year we have worked especially hard to capture the feelings of the Age of Aquarius, and apply them to our activities and subjects at McKinley. Donna Kennedy 9H1 Kindness in words creates confidence, Kindness in thinking creates profoandness, Kindness in giving creates love. Lao- Tse PUBLICATIONS The Age of Aquarius brought to life right here at McKinley.
