ww 'Q' .. ' The Character of Its Boys We the stay? of Yearbook 77 have endeavored to portray the character of a school by examining its students as John Dos Passos, in his trilogy U.S.A., attempted to describe the temperament of a nation by examining its people. We have imitated Dos Passos' objective Newsreel which is contrasted by his subjective, illustrative Camera Eye in order to introduce the various components of our school. The faculty and seniors parallel the distinguished leaders of a nation, and their articles recapture the static, realistic character of the U.S.A. biographies. Believing that each faculty member is more often associated with his interests than his position, we have placed the teachers' biographies in accordance with their relationship to aspects of the school. Montclair Academy is a building at the crest of Bloomfield Avenue. Montclair Academy is a staircase leading to a classroom, to the locker room, to a conference with the headmaster. Montclair Academy is a conhdent senior who has matured from an apprehensive seventh grader. But mostly, Montclair Academy is the character of its boys. 1
