THE BUS CAME BY AND I GOT ON, THAT ' S WHEN IT ALL BEGAN . . . We arrived in the fall of 1985 and before we knew what was happening, they loaded us onto a bus and sent us to Mt. Manadnok, in the first of many organized events we ' d be subject to during the next four years. On Groton night, while we hauled the captains to the bonfire, we ran into a ditch and unfortunately (He, He, He) the captains fell into a puddle of mud, sending terrified III formers fleeing in all directions. The dorm life in our little 111 form havens, on either side of route 85, ran as any other normal year, with usual torment from our VI form prefects (perhaps still holding a grudge from Groton night). Berzansky and Cutler were almost tarred and feathered when the VI form found their uncensored edition of the face book. During our last night in Coe House, we sent Stauff on a mission to find Jeremy Meltzer in the other hallway, both ol whom returned to find a massive wall of cushions and shaving cream. This was obviously too much for Mr. Garfield, who resigned as Coe dorm master after only one year with us. Alas, IV form came and we were no longer tread upon by everyone. Both returning and new IV formers alike, all got to meet each other on a beach, somewhere m Rhode Island, where a small group of devoted hackers discovered the wonders of the Hacky-Sack. Those of us lucky enough to be in Sawyer House had a great time with Rob Schmidt and his tormenting roommate from the South, Win Hartley. Mr. Danzigger kept us under close watch with room restriction almost every night (although Chris Tyler did manage to sneak some cookies and magazines out of his apartment) while Mr. Tabrisky just asked us: Guys, what the hell. ' ' harly on in the year, Ted Lyman was removed from the community, when he was caught out of his dorm, trying to make one last kill for the infamous school-wide game of Killer. Tim, on the other hand, defied the odds and avoided the repeated attempts of the SDC to remove him. As our form settled into the year, certain people like Marc and Robin excelled in their sports, while on the other side of the spectrum. Mo was cut from JV squash and forced to play Jerry Ball. By the time spring arrived we were looking forward to being V formers, but we engaged in one last fling of pure fun. at the V form dance, where Fuller, who was so excited

to be there, fell through the scenery, while the rest of us threw pretzels and soda at each other. We arrived next fall looking forward to yet another year of good times, however we soon came to realize we had a great deal of things to worry about, usually in the form of the college process, achievement tests and the SATs (and more SATs and more . . . ) We took a wonderful form trip with our new advisors, Ms. Desprez and Mr. Acampora to Newport for a shopping spree and a cultural tour of the city. The only thing we didn ' t think about was that it was Sunday and raining outside. Still, the year progressed, and some of us discovered the joys of the new campus; mainly hacking after study hall in the Ritz and staying up all night for physics roller coaster labs, and much more. Spring came to St. Mark ' s and so did outer space with our own original, amazing incredible V form dance. Mr. Acampora and Ted Bovey showed us their amazing climbing skills by scaling the ceiling of Benson auditorium, while the rest of us wandered around painting flourescent stars on everything in sight and wondering how on eanh we ' d finish it all before the dance began. The fall of 1988 and what we had waited three years for finally came. VI FORM. However, before we could settle in, we were rounded up for just one more trip, this time for a weekend of rough, country livin ' up at Brantwood Camp in New Hampshire. While there, we cooked meals for each other, shared shacks, and had a nice, quiet time around the campfire. Our stay there would not have been the same without the marvelous marshmailow fight between Tim Smith and the entire form and, of course, Bogart ' s hilariously amusing story of the candy bars ( On the corner of 5th and Clark . . . ) We welcomed our new headmaster Mr. Mabley (and showed how attentive we were in school meeting) by relocating his office to a more central location, namely Forbes Center. Although, we ' ve finally gotten used to all of our new found privileges, not one of us can deny that life is much better without study hall. Looking back on our four years here at St. Mark ' s we can be proud to say that we truly never let our schooling interfere with our education. 15
