MALE CHARM AND SPIRIT — as exemplified by Sternheimer, Waldo, West, and Sternheimer — spurs Shakerites ' enthusiasm at the Heights Pep Rally. Highlight the Fall Months FALL — a time for making friends, a time for readjusting after the all too short summer. At the beginning, sophomores are a little overwhelmed by the mass of students pushing them through the halls. But soon they too are right in the ex- citing thick of it all — at the Kick-Off Party, at football games, at pep rallies, at the Fall Ball. Shakerites are out-going and friendly and soon everyone finds his own niche in the school. For some a favorite haunt is the Social Room or Elbow Room; for others it is the Melvin Miller Room or the physics lab. But wherever Shakerites congregate, there is the ever- present Shaker spirit and enthusiasm. BOY PURSUES GIRL— Actually Barb Needham is not running away from her date, Chuck Hugus; they ' re only cha-cha-ing. THIS IS OUR FOOTBALL TEAM?

A TYPICAL MALE REACTION from Mr. Segrist greets a remark from Joan Upton at the Senior Party. BELGIUM EXCHANGE STUDENT Dick Van Dyck prepares to sprint down a basement corridor during after-school track practice. Shakerites Soon Fall Back into GENIUS AT WORK — Jonathan Seldin ponders his move in a chess game during Honor Study Hall. When the excitement and strangeness of being back in school after summer vacation had worn off, Shakerites settled down into the routine of classes, study, and report cards. So, too, did our foreign students, among them Belgium exchange student Dick Van Dyck and German-born Margret Kuhlman, for whom life at Shaker soon became as familiar as life in their home countries. At first, though, Dick ' s and Kuhli ' s eyes must have opened wide at some of the sights that they saw. There were the honors math boys who played chess in study hall every day; there were the sleepyheads who dozed in class; and there was that warm sense of friendliness and companionship between stu- dent and teacher. As our foreign students became accustomed to our way of life, so too did all Shakerites, each of whom gradually became an integral part of the school. 22
