1958-1959 September dawns and for the third time we enter the Lexington Ave- nue edifice after a two-month absence. Once again the well-worn question How was your summer? is passed around the school. In October we sponsored a Tea for Freshman and in November we held the Junior Roundup which boasted a cowboy theme and authentic Western atmosphere. The Chanukah Chagiga was for the first time held on both Saturday and Sunday nights to accommodate the increase of students. I hough the February theater party Gazebo was not a financial success, the evening has been stored away among our fondest memories. Such events as getting class rings and appointing the 60 Kochaviah staff awakened us to the fact that we would soon be seniors.

1957-1958 September comes and we are sophomores. We glance with tolerance at the new Freshman class. Could we have looked so wide-eyed, so timid when we were freshman? We learn very quickly that the Public Relations Department is busy again. This time the freshman class is not the subject of their activity. The following June Stern College would have its first graduation. The world must be told of this great event. Public Relations hasn t failed. Press releases have been sent out. Pictures have been taken. The 28 seniors have become celebrities. The rest of the school basks in the glory of the first 28. In February the Sophomores have an Ice-Skating party, the first of its kind in Stern College history. A few weeks later 150 people board the S.S. Sophomore for a three-hour trip to Israel. Bells are Ringing is the choice for the Sophomore theater party. And then it s June and the ever-active Public Relations Department outdoes even i ts previous commendable work. Eleanor Roosevelt visits Stern for a Fireside Chat with the Seniors. New York and out-of-town newspapers proclaim for days the graduation. And our second year ends. 15

1959-1960 Barbara Rosen, President Then September rolled around again and the dream was a reality. Where had the time gone? We spent most of our time, as the senile often do, reminiscing on days long past. It would all he over soon and we too would be sent out into the world to live the lives we had chosen. We were busy with Gemers, graduation plans, Senior Dinner prepar- ations, Kochaviah work and when time permitted, homework. We knew that June 16, 1960 would come quickly, too quickly. W r e would enter an adult world that expected great things of College Graduates. We only hoped that we would measure up to the expecta- tions of our parents, our school and our people. «$£ft .§fr 2m,smsn WX; . W MmM, SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Lo ' j • I.
