Page 30 Class Hlstor IN AN AGE WHEN GROUP EFFORT, conformrty, and l1fe adjustment were stressed rn many educational clrcles, Newark Academys Class of 1957 fiercely bucked the trde, and countered these influences w1th 1ndrv1dual1sm borderlng on eccentrlclty noncon formlty of a low order, and scholarshrp of a hlgh order Added to these characterlstlcs was a flare for 1nnovat1on whlch manifested rtself throughout the classs stay rn the Upper School The talent for rnnovatlon was perhaps the most obvrous as some of the changes rn strtuted by the Class of 57 have become quasl trad1t1onal The first of the 1nnovat1ons perpetrated by the fifty seveners was an elghth grade newspaper, dubbed the Spyglass for want of a more sprlghtly tag After the justly ignored journal vanrshed followlng 1ts fourth ISSUC, observers determrned that it had bequeathed to the fourth estate nothrng more than th1s lnterestmg pollcy names w1ll be used ln news stones only lf they belong to Frrst Formers Columb1a s School of Iournalxsm mourned the paper s passlng wlth rnfimte lachrymoslty Upper School Faculty advlsers who have been perplexed by the onslaught of the PICUIC mama can lay the blame for thelr perplexrty at the door of the Class of 57 Thrs scurvy band of students was the first to take tlme out for a jaunt to rust1c regxons and the rmltatlve urge surged through the other four forms w1th abandon By A D 1956 every Upper School class annually ambled forth to an approprlately wooded sectlon for a vernal encounter with lnrmlcal caged bears, 1nc1p1ent forest fires enraged park at tendants, relaxed faculty advlsers and the ublquxtous ant One rnnovatlon lnstltuted by thxs lmagmatlve group drdn t qulte hang on the school store Thls merchandlslng endeavor, begun 1n the class s Thlrd Form year, never be came too prosperous because the source of statronery, the office, allowed too small a margm of profit and refused to tolerate the lntroductlon of wares from the outslde One dlstlngulshed member of the class, who w1ll and should deslre to, remaln anonymous, did not greatly ard the store as his management lacked the finesse possessed by most money malung business men The performance of the Class of 57 1n the handlrng of the store served quite admlrably to scare off any other form that mrght have tried to use thls devrce for that crassly cap1tal1st1c purpose The Class of 57 dld not as a whole take up post graduate studres to find out whether or not the Chrrstmas Holrday mnovatlons effected 1n the Senror Year were taken up by the succeedlng class The key Schoffesquely speaking to the understandmg of the Class of 57 IS the recog n1t1on of lts regard for 1nd1v1dual1sm, rather than rnnovatron, though that toplc has consumed the lion s share of space herem Indlvlduallsm has reared lts contentious head most often rn all class meetmgs At these pleasant, mformal get togethers where class busmess rs handled w1th efficlency nay, drspatch of the greatest degrewthe twenty erght senrors have each volced a radlcally drverse OPIIIIOII on almost every topic brought up for discussion Thrngs wouldnt have been so dreadful lf the one score elght oplnrons werent voiced slmul taneously rn the harshest possrble manner The boys were no less vocal and 1nd1v1dual lstxc as junlors when thelr meetmgs were compared to the SCSSIOHS of the French Assem bly and when one rather 1rate substltute advlsor blasted forth Thrs IS one of the reasons why democracy sometlmes doesn t work This class's nonconformrty was generally unconsclous and not even motivated by anything noble rn the sub consclous It manlfested xtself through scurrrlous one rssue newspapers a drsobedlent attitude toward the dress rule and dlsrespect for several courses of study There was one notable case of 1nd1v1dual nonconformrty llS xnherent studrousness whlch hindered the productlon of varslty stars but lrttle else as the actrvrtres sectlon will clearly illustrate C . . , . . . . . . , . . , . . , . .. . . . . . .4 . . . . . , ., . , . . . . . . . . . . , . , . , . . . . . . . . . . , . . . .. . , .
