WHAT’S CHANGED? “The students.

The pendulum is shift- ing back. We’re returning to more conservative attitudes. Students are concerned with getting into colleges and aca- demic excellence.” Mr. Marks 18 “When I came here, everyone was protest- ing something: the war, civil rights, the environment . . . Now there are no more buttons.” Mr. Frank McCourt Moto kawatara moto onajini naru.” (“The more things change, the more they remain the same.”) — Mr. E. J. Lugo “The administration has definitely changed for the better.” Bodenheimer went from student to teacher.” Mr. Mark Bodenheimer — Mr. Arnold Bellush Apathy — there’s more of it.” Ms. Lippe FACULTY 19 Principal. . . Principal. . . Principal Dear Graduates: The class of 1985 is part of a long and proud proces- sion of classes going back eighty years. No two classes have been the same, yet each has shared in a unique and fundamentally similar experience. That experi- ence, the Stuyvesant experience, is at one and the same time both obvious and mysterious. It is quite easy to define what we are and what your life at Stuyvesant has been in terms of the challenging courses you have taken, the extra-curricular pro- grams in which you have participated, your interac- tions with the faculty, the daily grind of getting to school via the New York City public transporation system, and your interactions with your fellow stu- dents who are among the brightest and most talented to be found anywhere. I think we all understand and accept those aspects of what it means to be part of Stuyvesant. However, the essesntial nature of that experience with all its quirks and quiddities eludes us. I know that it grows and evolves over the years, and as you look back over those years you will feel its pull and its influence all the more. I saw it among the over six hundred alumni who returned to the old building at the 80th Year Reunion on November 18,1984. And you, in turn, will not be immune from its effects. To explain that special experience is, I believe, no mere micrology, but a question which goes to the heart of the human experience. Suffice it to say, that for each of you these have been years of growth and change. The process of evolving into a new being is exciting and little understood. Certainly that explains a part of the Stuyvesant experience, and the rest remains for you to look back upon and evaluate through the years. The theme of this yearbook is “Change” and each of us at Stuyvesant has experienced that in our lives. The only “constant” in life is change, and of all living things, mankind seems most able to deal with change. Certainly, those of you in the class of 1985 have had to deal with profound changes in our school, among them the fact that you have had three different principals in the years you were here. Nevertheless, each of you adjusted to those dislocations in your lives, and your achievements as a class as magnificent as any class which preceeded you. Your mettle was tested and you proved worthy. Your response to change has strengthened you and made you better prepared to deal with the future. As you leave us, we know that you will continue the proud record of achievement and service to mankind which has been the legacy of your predecessors. We shall never forget you. You are part of a great evolutionary history and tradition. We are proud of all you have accomplished and we shall be prouder still, of what you accomplish in the years ahead. Sincerely, Abraham Baumel Principal 20 Assistant Principals... Assistant Prii Dear Graduates: “Can I CHANGE my teacher?” “CHANGE your seat, please!” “How does an atom CHANGE into an ion?” “CHANGE the variable and solve.” “When does a seed CHANGE into a plant?” “Where do I CHANGE for the LL?” “Who has the CHANGE for the bus?” CHANGE is always present. I have watched your class CHANGE from those frightened entering fresh- men and sophomores into the mature seniors of to- day. You will continue to CHANGE into those respon- sible adults who will CHANGE your world and mine. Good luck and make all CHANGES for a better world! Sincerely, Murray Kahn Assistant Principal To the Class of 1985: You are about to embark on a new and exciting adventure. It is difficult to predict what lies ahead or what the future has in store for each of you. We only hope that your experience at Stuyvesant has afforded you the knowledge, the ability to think creatively, and the moral strength to meet with ease and forethought all the challenges that lie ahead. All of us wish you good health, happiness and suc- cess. Sincerely, Harold M. Lehrman Assistant Principal hft, Administration . . .

Physical Sciences Presenting everyone’s choice for “the department most likely to blow up the school” — the Physical Sci- ences Department. Most students first encounter the department while taking one of its two requried courses: Chemistry and Physics. Offering everything from AP Chem to XP, Mr. Tarendash’s department is one of Stuyvesant’s most di- verse. The addition of several new teachers, including Mr. Amoquarm, promises a still wider choice of elec- tives in the future. Our class will have been the last to take Physics as seniors: future ones will take it as either sophomores or juniors. Also, Mr. Baumel and Mr. Kahn now teach Physics and Chemistry (respectively), sacrificing their own time in order to ease the overload of juniors and seniors taking it this year. The department’s most unusual” elective, XP (Ex- perimental Physics) Class is also known as Stuyvesant’s Westinghouse Factory. Scraps of unintelligible conver- sation permeate the room, mixed with pep talks from coach Arnold Bellush. “Does anyone here believe that they can’t win a Westinghouse?” he asks. Clustering over their abstracts, students offer each other advice and encouragement. All were eager to explain the im- pressive projects in progress around them. For the past two years, the Physical Sciences Depart- ment has sponsored a trip to Toronto’s Science Museum — “to bring learning out of the confines of the school,” according to Mr. Tarendash. This highly successful event paved the way for what is now a popular tradition. 25 Jacqueline Thomson Please George, this is Stuyvesant H. S., not Stuyvesant Park.

Pin the dead frog down to the tray (Thank God it’s dead!) and zoom into formal dissection procedure. (“I’m not crying — that’s just the Formaldehyde.”) Well, there’s more to Stuyvesant’s Biology Depart- ment than meets the optic nerve! The past four years have brought new life to the department. In 1982, Mr. Plass supplanted Ms. Au Kim as interim department chairperson, and hatched an extended curriculum. In addition to Regents, Honors, and A.P. Biology it in- cludes Bio-Careers programs, such as Vertebrate Zoo- logy and Lab Techniques, as well as Environmental Sci- ence courses. Good news for Freshmen! A new system has evolved which requires all of the paramecium to take Biology instead of Earth Science, Ecology, or Qualatative analy- sis. This leaves more time to take these or other courses in Junior or Senior year. But wait — there’s more! A new elective stemming from students demands is the Westinghouse Research Program, with its own offspring: Journal of Student Sci- ence Research. Environmental science has branched off to include Oceanography and Meteorology. Also, the new Stuyvesant Medical Careers Program allows a nov- el approach to Biology, with independent and full-year classes in Human Physiology, Medical Ethics and Ge- netics, as well as internships at Beth Israel and Cabrini Hospitals, supervised by Ms. Suecoff. A further threat to the amphibian population is the continuing growth of the Biology Faculty. A new sprout in the Department is Dr. Utting, and Ms. Held has put down roots as a permanent member of the staff. The seeds have been planted: expect even greater change in the Department in the years to come. 27 Mitchell Prussman Did 1 give out this hand-out sheet yet? Marianna Reep Cool your jets! Dr. John M.

Leslie Johnson “We all live together, and those of us who love and know, live so most.” — Henry fames Chaired by Mr. Ince (one of the greatest department chairmen of the twentieth century), Stuyvesant’s Eng- lish Department has undergone a dramatic metogenesis in the past few years. Students are now exposed to the most diverse selection of classes offered since the Hel- lenic Period, a refreshing alternative to the less varie- gated progression of past years. Electives range from Elizabethan Drama to Metaphysics, from Film Medium to Poetry. Also, the Advanced Placement English cur- riculum has been revised to encompass a variety of literature from different ethnic groups. The activities offered after school are equally di- verse. The English faculty is one that cares and is there for its students. Their extracurricular involvement is overwhelming. Mr. Dolan now coordinates an annual Dramatist’s Guild Workshop. Last year, Mrs. Kocela in- stituted a tradition when she organized Stuyvesant’s first poetry reading at St. Mark’s Church. One of the newest additions to the Enlgish Department, Ms. Shein- man, coaches the Debate and Speech Team. This year. Ms. Lippe deserves particular thanks, as she concludes her reign as faculty adviser of the yearbook. Descartes said: “I think, therefore I am.’’, and this applies to our English Department. It is constantly thinking, whether to be of a new elective or event. It is constantly changing to suit students’ needs. And, in- deed it does exist! The humanities are alive and well in “New York's first Science High School.” % Wendy Jones Margaret Hegarty Take out a sheet of paper. 1 assure you this won’t count as a quiz.

The electives range from the Symphonic band, Symphony Orchestra + the 2(period) painting shop to the new sculpture and scientific sketching classes.

James Lonardo “Pardon you.” Franklin Wright, Chairman “Th e attitude of students is basically that they don’t like drafting. We hope to change that by updating the curriculum in the near future,” says Mr. Timothy Pon, the Acting Chairman of the Industrial Arts Depart- ment. Mr. Pon served as chairman for Frank Wright, on leave from February 1984-February 1985. Another shift in the faculty has been the addition of Mr. Lon- ardo, who now teaches a shop on engineering technol- ogy- The class of '85 was shocked by the decision that drafting, which was originally taken on a pass fail ba- sis, was to become a minor, and count as half a class in the academic average. Also, thanks to Bausch and Lomb’s generous donation, Stuyvesant now offers a computer drafting class. Yet, not everyone has been as enthusiastic as the department would like. In the words of one student: “I guess they think I like drafting: they keep making me retake it.” Alphonse Scotti Reach for (he ideal, bul never forget (he reality of it all. Steven M.

Sheldon Kowadlo I want to see how really smart you are.” Stuart Weinberg David Greenfield Ray Alden 34 hematics . . . Mathematics . . . Mathe Th e mathematics department is not just for geniuses — it’s also for computer whizzes. All students take math, but many consider it such a plus that they elect to take advanced courses in calculus, numerical analysis, and differential equations. Some even take college-lev- el classes (to the nth degree!). Others don’t. Many stu- dents have an enormous drive to learn computer sci- ence and program themselves for courses ranging from basic ‘BASIC’ to an advanced placement ‘PASCAL’. And, of course, many students derived new interest in mathematics from an in-depth, yet different angle on the subject: the “History of Math” course. Mathematically speaking, being a Stuyvesant stu- dent means taking math, lots of it. The math depart- ment, chaired by Dr. Rothenberg (who replaced Mr. Marcantonio Junior year) provides unlimited courses for those students who wish to make math an integral part of their programs. The department is adding three new air-conditioned fully furnished $10,000 computer labs; obviously, an impressive substitute for current facilities. Pre-calcu- lus and calculus will now be combined into a single elective with practical mathematics and its application as the core curriculum. Integrated mathematics will help replace the current requirements. And for those who really find math stimulating, there’s the math team (universally recognized as the best in the nation), the math society, and the Math Survey (a magazine written by members of the team). Recent additions to the department’s faculty include Mr. Winokur, who likes sports, Mr. Clancy, who’s lived in both Saudi Arabia and Oregon, and Mr. Phillips — who had a beard.

Histoi Isidore Rabinowitz iVfay you always live up to your highest self!” Peter Mechanick “The nicest class of the '80's We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all so- cial studies courses are created equal; that the students are endowed by department chairperson Vivian Gluck with certain inalienable responsibilities; one of which is to attend class even when the teacher is absent. Of course no one would be crazy enough to cut Psy- chology, as it is one of the most popular electives. There had been hope that enrollment would increase in the new Japanese Culture course which, due to student apathy, never got off the ground. If you are the subject of prejudice or are being perse- cuted in New York City, and want to file a lawsuit, then enroll in Prejudice and Persecution, explore New York City, Past and Present, or study Criminal Law. If you want to know more about the work force we will soon be entering, investigate the Labor Studies class. For the past three years, the history department has mandated a chronology of courses which satisfies even the hungriest historians. Thus Stuyvesant now in- cludes in its history recipe: a pinch of global history, a dash of government, and a heaping mound of American history. Sprinkle with economics and bake intensively for 3Vz years, or more, depending on taste. The complet- ed fine course meal (dessert is optional) should satiate all appetites. 39 Foreign Language...

Headed by Mr. Malicono, the department of- fers a melange of languages, ranging from the expected: French, Spanish, Italian, German, Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, to the unexpected — Mr. Niglio began his inde- pendent study class in Portuguese this year, and Mr. Lugo teaches a new class in Japanese. There are nine languages in all. Not only do students learn to speak other languages, but they also explore the culture and history of other countries. Did you know that in Spain they eat arroz con polio? Were you aware that Montecatini was the first Italian industrial company to have facilities in Rus- sia following the Cold War? The Foreign Language Department organizes the In- ternational Food Festival per annum at which students and teachers can mangia foods from many different countries. For students with lots of chutzpah, there are contests of tour de force each year in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Hebrew. The Grand Prix is a trip to the respective country. Though there are Stuyvesant students who prefer PASCAL and BASIC to French and Spanish, there is also a blitzkrieg of foreign language enthusiasts to keep the fiesta going! 41 Staff . . . Staff . . .

On the other side of the same hall the room numbers progress from 01 to 07 except in the basement where there is no 01 to 07. The first floor where 01 and 03 are 1A, IB, 1C, D and U respectively and where 05 and 07 are hidden somewhere, and the third floor where there is no 01 or 03. The middle hallway contains only odd- numbered rooms 09 to 11 on the west side and 13 to 17 on the east side except in the basement where there are no rooms, the first floor where they are replaced by the art gallery, the second floor where there is no 17, and the third floor where there is no 11 or 17. On the inner side of the hall on the Sixteenth Street side of the building the room numbers are odd and numberd 19 and 21 except in the basement, the first floor where there is no 19 or 21 but there is a 21 A, and the second floor where these rooms are replaced by the cafeterias. On the other side of the same hall the rooms are even numbers 16 to 22 except in the basement and the second floor where they are replaced by the cafeterias. If you want to find a room followed by an A you are on your own. IF YOU ARE STILL LOST AFTER FOLLOWING THESE DIRECTIONS PLEASE REPORT TO THE BRIEFCASE ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR FOR ASSISTANCE.

These drills are signalled as follows: BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP, GONG- GONG-GONG, GONG-GONG-GONG, GONG-GONG-GONG, GONG-GONG- GONG. Any other signal is merely a test of the bells. 'Stuyvesant dases average about 21 students. — N.Y. Daily News ABSENCE AND LATENESS Loss of instructional time due to absence or lateness is quite all right when it occurs in moderation and on carefully selected days. The student is expected to be absent on the following days: — The day before an SAT or Achievement (whether the stu- dent is taking one or not) — The day before a major test — The day of a major test — The day before a term paper is due — The day that a term paper is due — When the student is tired The excuse for these absences should always be illness, but if a student is actually ill, he she is expected to attend school and subsequently use that as an excuse to take a day off when he she is tired. The student is expected to be late whenever he she misses breakfast and would like to get something to eat during first period. GRADING POLICY Your mark in all subject classes will be based on the following criteria: tests, quizzes, quizzes, tests, your marks on the tests, your marks on the quizzes, tests and quizzes. In some cases atten- dance, class participation, term papers, notebooks and lab work may affect your test and quiz average a few points either way, thus slightly raising or lowering your grade. But you'd be wise to do well on the tests and quizzes. HIGH SCHOOL AVERAGE The high school average is, of course, one of the most important things in the student's life. It can mean success or failure. Thus, it is suggested that the student compute his her average several times a week. This is done by adding up grades in major subjects and multiplying by two, then adding minor subjects, and dividing by twice the number of major subjects plus the number of minor subjects. This procedure should take the exprienced Stuyvesant student less than a minute (without a calculator). By the end of the first week of each term, students should be estimating their grades and arriving at projected averages to be graphed on their computers. By the end of the first term of freshman year, students should have computed their projected seven term cumulative average, and decided which colleges they can get into based on the Spectator's Top 50. COLLEGE GUIDE The preparation for college is the most important function of a special- ized school such as Stuyvesant. The choice of a college and career may seem very far off when you are a freshman, but within a relatively short period you will be faced with the most important questions of your life. These are: — Do you want your eggs fried or scrambled? — Should you buy C C Cola, or should you go for the gusto and buy Coke? — Would you rather have one big cookie or two little ones? — What college should you attend? Fortunately, a wealth of counseling is offered by the College Office to aid students in making these (and other) crucial decisions. PROGRAM PLANNING In the past years, program planning has been difficult and students have been constantly plagued by programming problems. But now that we have a computer, everything is going to be all right. ESTIMATING COLLEGE COSTS Costs vary greatly from college to college, so you should prepare an estimated budget for each school.

HA!” Oh, come on coach! , groaned the team. Well, Joe, I don’t know if you'd like being a basketball player. Our players are all very united this year, and we’ve got a lot of team spirit. I jsut started coach- ing the team, but I think this is going to be our best season on record, and somehow I’m not sure you’ld fit in. Why not, coach?” . “You’re a foul player! Ha! Ha!

I know, but, well, tell me the truth, you've never played basketball before, have you? Well ... how'd you know?” “Jo — we don’t punt the basketball. And I wasn't positive until you asked if you were allowed to touch the ball with your hands... Also, I've never seen anyone try to shoot the basketball through the bottom of the net. But, I learn fast, Coach. I could take lessons from Tanya, Jenny or Liz — they’re great! Or those freshmen Britta Schasberger and Elicia Bass — they’re terrific also! “I'm sorry, Joanna, but this is a very good season for the girls' basketball team, and I don't feel that you quite understand the complexities of the game.” “What do you mean?” Tickling your opponents until they give up the ball is consid- ered a foul. I thought I was taking the ini- tiative. “Goodbye, Joanna. Basebi Like to have your picture tak- en? Not really. I'm shy. Tsk, tsk ... Know anything about the team?” Well, I know you practice at FOR. You lost in the second round ot the playoffs last year. You finished with a 9-4-1 divi- sion record, and you have six starting seniors and three start ing juniors. Well Joe, I'm sorry. But I haven’t tried out yet! ' You don't sing so you won't be able to join in when we sing the other teams' songs. You wouldn't fit in on Tuesdays when we go to the docks and throw old baseballs at the Circle Line. And also, you're camera shy! All our players love having their pictures taken by tourists.

Why, they practically bowled him over after repeating their striking statistics to him. “11-1? Really? Wow, said Joe, “You guys must be the undefeat- ed Manhattan champs huh? Yeah, replied one bowler, we lost one game to Bayside H.S., but other than that we've been Boys’ cross cou NTRY “Has anyone seen the cross country team? Unfortunately, probably not, since the cross country team's meets are in obscure locations, making the team rather difficult to follow, even for a spectator. But still, Joe continues his search; after all, through indi- vidual efforts and strong team spirit, the team outdistanced the competition again this year, and reached third place in Man- hattan. Some people are afraid the team might run into trouble when seniors Danny Nelson, Robert Sterbal, Robert Young- man, Curtis Lewis and Karl Lor- enson head for the finish line and graduate this year. But with upcoming starters Peter Ar gueta and Michael Babcock, Joe believes the team will still give the other schools a good run for their money.

' Would one of you like to teach me how to fence?” he inquired brightly. The team, completely engrossed in their fancy footwork, ignored him. Spaz picked up something that looked like a long sword with a big button on the end. Blaahhh!” he screamed at the top of his lungs, lunging at the empty air in front of him. The team took notice. “Yo! idiot! You’re holding the foil by the wrong end! yelled the first female PSAL winner, Tzu Moy. Are you sure? asked a bewil- dered Spaz. Of course we re sure!” Richard Newman and Wendy Louie chimed in at once. We re the city champs! We even beat Taft! Really!! Spaz was impressed. Oh can I join your team? Oh m please, pleeasse?! Jordan B. Foster looked du- bious. But coach Cohen said, Oh guys, come on, give him a chance. The team was reluctant. Let's see your thurst, de- manded Eric Chasser. Spaz, confused, made some grotesque movements. That's it! cried Jordan B. Foster. Get that guy out of here! The team grabbed for their foils and advanced, and a terrified Spaz retreated rap- idly.

No one really wants to do it, so ... ” “Why doesn't your captain make somebody help me?” Joe whimpered, his face becoming increasingly red. “Well, you see Joe,” Peter Garland explained, “our coach David Cancel doesn't believe in captains, so we don’t have one. Eddie Ton, Winston Tsiang, Glen Koser and Eddie Kim nodded. Besides,” Peter continued,“we don’t really care if you get down or not. You obviously cannot be on our team.” “But how can we practice with him up there?” A player demanded. “Good point.” The team agreed. “And we have to practice especially hard now, so we can beat out archri- vals.

You guys have such an amazing team, the only one to win a city championship, and I knew that you practiced every day at the Humanities H.S. pool, so I came down here to show you my stuff. I’m a diver. “Uh, Joe, we’re not looking for a SCUBA diver right now, said Steve Savage. “In fact, I can’t remember the last time we had one on the team. “Isn’t there any way I can join up and get one of those nifty jackets?” Joe pleaded. “Come to think of it, replied Steve Lin and John craftily, there is one way.

My parents love to see me run, she panted, “They're always telling me to run away. How about your SAT scores?” demanded an approaching team member, We use them to in- timidate opposing teams. “1560”, Joanna stated proudly, then suddenly she tripped and fell. First Aid! First Aid! she moaned. “Go swallow a bottle of iodine , responded Sandra Sheu as she passed Jo, and enveloped her in a cloud of dust. Volley ball Bo-Su came the cry from the gym. Oh, that must be the Girls Volleyball Team yelling their traditional chant — which is still a mystery to half of them thought Jo Spaz. Hi Josephine said Jenny Op- penheim and Lisa Kwong as they rotated. “Hi captains! I hear you finished last season with a disappointing 2-8 record and thus a net loss of 6 games.” That's right Jo. This has been one of the best and one of the worst seasons for Girls Volley- ball Team, coached by Tim Pon. Yeah, I hear that you got to be really good friends and cocked your arms a lot.” “So what was it that you wanted Joanna? “I wanna try out. Well, since the seniors make up almost all of the starting line-up, I’m sure that next year's team could use even you!” Thanks so much. I'm sure I’ll stay on the ball — even if we are unlucky and lose a lot.” Errr... That's the spirit Josephine.” First Row: Manager David Keiser.

Well, yeah, sure — I’ve gone a couple of rounds with my kid brother. Your kid brother? Yeah, well, he’s a pretty tough little guy.” Well Joe, we have to be careful of who we accept on the team. It’s a very special team, you know. For the past two years our team has made the playoffs with a combined 30-3 record. This year’s team defeated our arch rival, De Witt Clinton, in our first match. We’ll probably make the playoffs again. Now, Joe, do you think that you can live up to this image? Afer all, we practice about three hours a day. “Oh, gee, that means I won’t get home until about 7:00. Mom will kill me .. “Errr, I see Joe. I guess we’ll have to get by without you. Can I have a Stuy. Wresting jacket and sweatshirt anyway? Joe ... Yes Sir? “Go home to your Mommy... Always having been good at handball in general, Joe Spaz knew he was extremely well qualified for the handball team. He also knew that this was the end of the line. — There were no other teams left. He was un- daunted as the team inter- viewed him: We play handball, you know, Thoams Chang told him. It can be very painful — we get bruises, warned Kin Ma. And Mr. Cavallero is leaving — we're getting a new coach.. added Amy Lai. “Well, Spaz responded, I think I can handle it. I'm a real man. So our story has a happy end- ing. Joe Spaz may have been rejected from twenty teams in total — but that's no matter — tomorrow he will run faster, stretch out his arms farther, and play more handball.

President Vice President Jung Shin and Warren Chao Throughout our tenure there have been many questions as to the true driving force behind the S.U. To put these rumors to rest, the accompanying pictures depict the one and only driving force behind the S.U. — The Executive Council. This group of Non-Republicans (ex- cluding the big one) is re- sponsible for improving student life here at Stuy- vesant. Along with the COS A, Mr. Grasso, the secretaries and treasurers have worked hard to im- prove various activities and raise funds for clubs and teams. So, if by chance you come across one of these select few, smile and say, “Thanks for everything!” C.O.S.A.

Treasurers Ira Brody and Harry Chernoff Senior Caucus President Vice President Phil Beer and Jill Ostrager Phil and Jill went up the hill to lead the senior caucus. Jill was vice, Phil was nice yet the meetings were still raucous. Day in and day out — the senior caucus strives for perfection. With the help of representatives from each homeroom, they discuss proms, trips, and college applications. In the words of Phil Beer, “Together this block ma- nipulates the student gov- ernment in such a way that it gets everything it wants.” 75 F reshman year we changed Soph-Frosh Sing to Frosh-Soph Sing. The sophomores recog- nized our unusual talent and gave all of us a part in New Am- sterdamned. So what if it was only one song and dance num- ber, so what if we had to wear Stuy sweatshirts, so what if our only hero was Jeff Tewlow as Pe- ter Stuy (wooden leg and all), and so what if we came in last, we had the spirit. Sophomore year Alec wrote Mystery Tonite — a kind of play within a play. Rob directed. Jean- nine. Joe, and Sorin had leads Heidi was killed. Jenny wondered What's so horrible?” Bram bummed around. Stefanie and Lauren made the corpses dance. Ashwin was a Presley-inspired coroner, and James played a gay director. We lost again, but so what, Soph Frosh never wins. Junior year Carol wrote a play about auditions. Suki directed. Julie came from the Midwest. Dianne, Kenny, Jenny, and Mike had the leads. Jessica tapped. Lauren didn’t give a damn. There was a scene in a bar. and 99 Red Baloons. The OB-8 saved the day. Showstoppers didn’t really stop the show (translation: last again), but it built our characers and made us better human be- ings. “From Worst to First!” -Senior SING ’85 This year, things look rosy — Yvie and Sam wrote the script, Behind the Masque, with scenes taking place in Ambrosia. Remi- niscence, The subway, Central Park, and the Metropolitan Muse- um of Art. Joe, Mona, and Suki are directing. Tom and Len are from the Midwest. Laura and Ra- chel have leads. Jill returns as co- ordinator and David as conductor for the last time. Jessica, Lauren, Joanna, and Mindy are teaching the steps Matt’s making them sing Lara and Nance are keep- ing their clothes on. And we all know by now that it doesn’t mat- ter if you win or lose . . . 76 From the heights of Brooklyn, to the bowels of Staten Island, they flocked westward — to a New frontier. They called this territory . . . ‘‘Oklahoma”. The Stuyvesant stage over- flowed with students of all grades. With a combination of fresh spirit, lively singing and dancing, painstaking rehearsing, and Mr. Grasso’s infinite pa- tience, this group of students cre- ated an enjoyable production of ‘‘Oklahoma”. The lead roles came were given life by Tom Big- lin (Curly), Rachel Bluestein (Laurey), Len Rothstein (Will), Rob Chelemsky (Jud Fry), Jenni Friedman (Ado Annie), Julia Mor- gan (Aunt Eller) and Michael Greenberg (Ali Hakim). Choreo- graphers Julie Dean and Melanie Morris worked along side Choral directors Robin Applebaum, De- vin Cohen, and Andrea White, and Costume designers Lara Goldmark, Traci DiGesu, and Nancy Hartog. Kamel Tarazi ran the stage, David Goldman con- ducted the band. The director, Mr. Vincent Grasso, was assisted by Mr. White, Mr. Dolan, Ms. Di- Bellis, and Suki Tepperberg. Many a new day will dawn be- fore another cast could hold such love and affection for their show, their directors, their audience, and themselves. OKLAHOMA Asian Society The Asian Society focuses on all things Oriental. This is not Occidental (nor accidental). It is involved with a variety of activities which are educational, but also, add levity. Parties are held throughout the year to create a relaxed atmosphere.

Black is not the abscence of light but the absorption of all lights rays ... If you look closely, the colors will seem to unfold. The Black Students' League is an organization whose primary interest lies in cultivating the many cultural differences and diversities of Stuyvesant’s Black community. They hope that by broadening their understanding of themselves, to in turn be able to understand and appreciate others. First row: Lorna Spencer. Adenia Andrews, Trishann Williams.

Their activities (we suppose) include samba par- ties that roam up and down Fifth Avenue and trips to places of Portuguese heritage. Relatively little is know about this illustrious club, however, as the members refused to speak English (and we, unfortunately, were less than fluent in Portuguese). First row Jennifer Rosen.

Club members try not to eat at ethnic restaurants, wear ethnic clothing, or travel to foreign countries. Recently, a club member was excommunicated when he was caught munching on an egg roll. The club meets weekly in order to dis- cuss things such as snow, imperialism, clouds, and vanilla ice cream. Presently, club members are involved in tracing their geneologies back to the Mayflower pil- grims. Bottom row: Jimmy. Johnny. Jane. Middle row: Farmer Jones, Mary Smith, Bobby Sue, Veronica Lodge.

Chinese Torture Club One of Stuyvesant's more offbeat clubs, the Chinese Torture Club was recently formed as an outlet for the pressure placed on students in a highly competitive atmosphere. Students meet every week in a small, iso- lated room in the basement where they keep their equipment, including an obscure, out of print book on the ancient art of Chinese torture. Each week a different member takes his turn at being the torturee, while the others serve as torturers. For a small fee, the club is also willing to perform their services on teachers prior to final exams and major tests. Their mottos are: “Bring ’em down, we'll bop their crown We have ways of making you talk “Feel relief when we pull your teeth” Only row: Han Cults. Madame Defarge, Lillian Munster, Eva Perone, Ida Amin, Captain Hook, Mark Bardack Circus Arts Wild and crazy guys and dolls meet weekly to juggle, tumble, ride unicycles, and participate in the most un- usual and exciting display of visual phenomena since the Ringling Brothers, Talent runs rampant in this group, often seen outdoors, dressed in bizarre clothing and playing with fire in more ways than one. Only row: P.T. Barnum, Jeremy Brown. Peter Lorge. Joanna Watman, Danny Sherman, Mark Bardack, Michelle Berger. Marc Gerber Culture Club The Culture Club meets regularly to study different as- pects of all cultures. After discussing a culture thor- oughly, they adopt its mode of dress and walk around school observing its customs. The president of the club often runs into problems, due to his uncanny resem- blance to English rock star Boy George. He often sings his version of Karma Chameleon in order to prove to adoring fans that he is neither English nor a rock star. Boy George The German Club The German club members may not all be able to speak fluent German, but they definitely have other redeeming qualities. Not only do these fun-loving stu- dents play German games, attend concerts, and go to movies that involve German culture, but they also take much pride in German alcohol. The members really enjoy their Becks' and Lowenbrou's, especially while participating in their favorite kinds of dance: folk and ballet. First row: Kristine Homes. Tracey Ferarra. Todd Ferarra.

The major activity centers around the school's International Food Festival, when Greek students bring in Hellenic Food such as souvlaki, chewbaka, and gyros. American society has been greatly affected by Greek contributions in the area of architecture, literature, drama, art, and dining. (Without Ambrosia, King Andrews, and Stavy's where would we all be?) Italian Culture Club Stuyvesant's Italians have really been cultured. They're proud of their heritage and have attempted to make many contributions to society (among them, the recent creation of Prince Spaghetti Day). Field trips are held regularly to museums, Little Italy, the Opera, and Mariel- las. Row 1 Linda Ingroia, Maria Bardach. Nick Bavaro, Patricia Lacho.

In the spring of '84 an overwhelming surge of school spirit swept through Stuyvesant, with hundreds of BE A CHEERLEADER” signs posted through- out the school. To everyone's surprise, hordes of people responded, turning the thing not to do” into “the squad to join!” Once the '84-’85 Stuy Cheer- leaders were chosen, practice three to five times weekly led the supposedly spastic squad to become one of the top ten cheering squads in the city. With the support of the S.U., the football team, and the Parents’ and Alumni As- sociations, their hard work has earned them Stuyvesant's respect, as well as the respect of the teams and cheer- leaders from other schools. 83 The Cheering Squad Downstairs, in the corridor, outside the auditorium, a spot easily described to hungry Stuyvesant boys by the fact that it is near the cafeteria, a bunch of hard-work- ing(?) individuals congregate before every big athletic event. Students passing by are sure that there is some dirty work involved because a group of seniors are jumping about and screaming in apparent pain. Others stand to one-side and practice spelling the name of the school, counting off the letters, not on their fingers, but with queer, jerking motions of the arms. Then we find out that this is Stuyvesant’s Cheering Squad, and they no longer seem crazy. Morton Bubbles Kowalski, Alexander Boom Boom Jones, Salvadore Cha-Cha Mendez.

They've proven their abilities to break wind in events such as the Pepsi Marathon, and have rinsed away the competition in both warm and cold water cycles.

It is the Stuyvesant Golf Team. A common sight last spring was Stuyvesant's eager Golfers, either diligently practicing, or avidly competing with other P.S.A.L. teams for the Manhattan-Bronx championship.

Then one morning, God created ping pong, and in this game, men found a way to practice agility, dexterity, and the ability to concentrate on a little white bouncy sphere, all the while avoiding the breaking of their bones and the unmerciful tearing of their flesh. Followers of the great new sport vowed that the first five days would be spent in tournament, but on the last days, the sixth and seventh days, they would put aside the little white bouncy sphere and give thanks for the noise made by it while wending its way from one side of the table to another.

Co- ordinated by outstanding stu- dents, Arista benefits both its members and non-members by providing book sales, tu- toring and ushering services, and opportunities to visit var- ious colleges. Furthermore, through its visitation program and Save the Children charity bake sales, the society ex- tends its services to students of other schools and children of the other countries.

Thomas Spargo Weight Watchers Rising concern for the rapidly increasing number of weights missing from the Stuyvesant gym has recently led to the creation of the Weight Watchers Club. This strange new phenomonom led investigators to try to discover whether or not the barbells had left on their own free will, or had perhaps been abducted. Upon determing that the weights were, in fact, leaving in hopes of finding better employment at a health spa, weight watchers were appointed to prevent the escape of school property. Westinghouse 1985 was a record-breaking year for Stuyvesant in the Westinghouse competition. More students submitted papers than ever before, and the numbers of semi- finalists and fnalists were the largest in Stuyvesant his- tory, as well as in the nation (Congratulations, Audrey and Michael!) Not surprisingly, Stuyvesant has out- shone the competition — that includes Bronx Science — once again. David Abromowitz. Neil Bernstein. Paul Chan. Cecilia Chao. Harry Chernoff. Li-Wan Chia.

Being underground means that they don't get a spe- cially designated office in the school like the Spectator, or even a dinky little classroom like the Indicator. It means they don’t get money from the school and have to sell many ads. It also means that they are uncen- sored, so they can deal with subjects like sex, cheating, and the Ferraras.

We began work on the Indicator last June, full of energy and enthusiasm, and bursting with ideas. Our creative sparks flew wildly, and touched on everything from the size of the book to the size of the staff, from the types of layouts to the tone of the writing. For better or for worse, we knew that Indicator 85 was going to change things .. . With strong wills, level heads (!), and years of experience under our belts, what could go wrong? We had a brand new publishing company, a huge staff to accurate ly represent the grade, and diverse and exciting editors. Well, for one thing, we never counted on all the diverse and exciting arguments! And we didn't really spend enough time thinking about communication, so while literary was doing one thing, layout was doing another ... But enough negative thinking. Suffice it to say that by December, our starry eyes had become a little more practical, and a lot more knowledgeable. About the theme. Surprisingly enough, this year s Indicator policy was not the inspiration for CHANGE. Rather when we examined ourselves, our years here, and our generation as a whole, certain words would frequently come to mind: transition, metamorphosis, evolution (sound familiar?) On all levels, CHANGE has been a major part of our last four years: politically, socially, and internally. But in spite of the Balloon Day that raised our spirits but no money, of the lost typebooks and layouts, of the file cabinet that ate up our pictures, it's been worth it, hasn't it Michelle? Right Beth, we wouldn't have given it up for anything in the world.

Opening with Simon Garfunkel’s Con- cert in the Park. Women were moving into rock n’ roll: Joan Jett, Pat Benatar and the Go-Go’s. The look of decades past lin- gered on: tie-dyed tee-shirts and ripped jeans outside of Tony’s. Nothing came be- tween Brooke and her Cal- vin’s. 130,000 Cuban refugees landed on our shores, and black children were being murdered in Atlanta. Adam Ant and frisbee were the rage — though some chanelled all their energies into the puzzle of the Rubik’s cube. “Cos- mos” became a hit and the space shuttle zoomed into or- bit. “E.T.” invaded our movie screens. Come spring, denim jackets, bandannas, and min- iskirts were the things to wear, “Hill Street Blues” the thing to watch. A water shortage hit N.Y.C., “Save Water — Shower with a Friend.” Ru- mors of Fabbricante leaving Stuyvesant spread through the school, but John Belushi left us for good. And as Charles and Di prepared for their wedding spectacular, thousands of people joined hands on June 12th in Cen- tral Park to protest the nucle- ar arms build up. Freshman year — beginning in the park, ending in the park. A new start in a new school, and three more years ahead ... Sophomore year, and we were back. No longer freshmen, but still confronted with new faces.Though hit full force with a mass of “incom- ing jokes,” it soon felt as though we’d all always been there. Fabbricante had left, and Mr. Tewel replaced him as our principal. We wanted our MTV, to watch The Stray Cats bring back the 50’s: short haircuts, thrift shop clothes, and pegged pants. Duran Duran, Men at Work, and an onslaught of heavy metal bands hit the charts. Jennifer Beals introduced “Flashdancing,” and “Gan- dhi” grabbed eight Academy Awards. Outside our own fluctuating world, turmoil and change were rampant as well; the Pope was shot, and Yuri Andropov took over in the Soviet Union. More than anything, it was a big year for goodbyes. We said goodbye to Princess Grace and Henry Fonda. We said farewell to Mr. Tewel, who left to be principal else- where, and cried through the very last episode of M A S H. We also watched Tony’s close down, and said goodbye to sophomore year. M'A'S’H Junior year. PSAT’s arrived bringing thoughts of college: folders to fill, and SSR writers to meet. Mr.Tewel had left and was replaced by Mr. Baumel. At last, a princi- pal who was here to stay. In the Soviet Union, it was Chernenko that assumed command. A Korean airliner was shot down, and millions of Americans viewed the frightening reality of nuclear war in “The Day After”. Trivial Pursuit swept the city, and the Stuyvesant pretzel man appeared in the 16th Street lobby. Shorter hair, the thirties look, and long coats were “in”, as the year of the yuppie dawned. Primaries — Walter Mon- dale got the support of the Democrats, and while John Glenn and Gary Hart moved out of the spotlight, Ronald Reagan prepared for action. Jesse Jackson made his way into the forefront of Ameri- can politics as the first major black presidential candidate. Secretary of the Interior James Watt resigned from of- fice. Breakdancing, Rap, Cyndi Lauper, and Boy George pro- vided new images for the mu- sic world. Michael Jackson thrilled us, and took eight Grammys. “Where’s Char- ley?” hit the Stuyvesant stage, and Junior Sing defied convention by landing in third place. Stanley Kaplan and Prin- ceton Review prepared us for the SAT’s, but the U.S. gov- ernment neglected to prepare the nation for a Grenadan in- vasion. Fighting continued in Lebanon, and the Soviet Union decided to boycott the 1984 Olympics. Finally, Junior year came to a close, and we readied our- selves to take the place of our senior friends. Gradually, we were learning to make the de- cisions that would shape the rest of our lives ... JUNIOR YEAR Senator Gary Hart Michael Jackson Ethiopian children Ronald Reagan Jessie Jackson Mondale and Ferraro Senior year, Fall term. We took and re- took our SAT’s and ACH’s, frantically chose colleges and Filed the applications a day before the deadline. “Election ’84: Mon- dale’s Got the Beef”, “Rea- gan: Leadership that’s Work- ing.” Jesse Jackson and Ger- aldine Ferraro — two firsts. Pressures from colleges in- creased, as we prepared to cross our fingers until April. But “Frankie Say Relax”, so we bopped to Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”, and jumped to the Pointer Sisters, Prince, and Springsteen. But not all was bright; we lamented the assassination of Indira Gan- dhi, and the Union Carbide chemical disaster. SENIOR YEAR Hair got shorter, and mousse got bigger. S. Klein’s was reduced to rubble. We were plagued with questions: Who was the “real” Rox- anne? Why were girls wear- ing thermal underwear in- stead of tights? Would I pass my driver’s test this time around? Black clothing gave way to paisleys and plaids, “swatches” in every color and pattern. Meanwhile, the city continued it’s facelift of Union Square Park. The first woman astronaut zoomed into space; a tragic suicide alerted us to a differ- ent kind of alienation, closer to home. We debated the Bernhard Goetz case, and held bake sales for the starv- ing in Ethiopia. Russian lead- ership changed hands once again, as Gorbachev replaced Chernenko. We applauded Bishop Tutu’s Nobel Peace prize, and the arrival of the new lockers. Graduation drew closer, with senioritis becoming more and more acute. Then the shattering, startling death of a special and coura- geous friend. It was time to deal with our feelings about leaving the school... Some of us scared and insecure. Some looking forward eagerly. All of us, saying goodbye. • i.

Heddy Magrill (Feb. 1984 — June 1984) Magrill was a newcomer to the service and never quite got accustomed to the system Apathy ran high and morality ran low as the troop looked forward to a brighter tomorrow Sam Rubinstein (Sept. 1984 — Sepf. 1984) Rubinsein's four day reign marked the period of greatest discipline for Company C. On the surface there was resent- ment but deep down they knew it was for the best. Joy J. Schimmel (Sept. 1984 — Present) Schimmel brought with her an era of good feeling to the troop. She successfully masterminded a two step relocation plan to get the troop as far from the front as possible Not known for strictly following the book, she understands the troop's desire to move out into the world and treats them accordingly. They are happier than ever before.

Those who prepare well will perform better than those who don and nobody is better prepared than a Princeton Review student. Last term, 50% of our students raised their scores 170points or more from their previous PSAT or SAT, by far the best course results in New York. Princeton Review students don’t waste their time with lengthy word lists and endless assignments. Our extensive computer analysis pinpoints areas of largest potential improvement. Small classes enable instructors to focus attention on individual weaknesses. Do your SAT scores accurately reflect your ability? We know you can do better. Call us today for more information.

On the top of the shelf some mold began to grow, in a manner incomprehensible to humans, a certain kind of consciousness stirred in the mold. Ahh ... So it’s finally 1929 . . . Some New Year’s party I’m at, all alone up here with this mythology book. Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against mythology, why I just spent the better part of last year reading this book. Maybe that kind of thing worked 2000 years ago but it would never work today. It sure would be nice to be able to pray for anything you want, sacrifice a pretty maiden or two, and presto-chango, you get it. If I were going to pray, 1 would pray for us molds to have a better name on earth. It is a rare human who doesn’t throw out food that is moldy. I for one, don't know why. I understand not eating the mold. I’m not for cannibalism, but there is no reason to throw it out just because a relative of mine is growing on it. It sure would be nice to be president, be a house plant, or even be food for rabbits in the woods — At least then you have a niche in the world. Even poison ivy turns pretty colors in the fall. . . Sigh . . . Hey it worked back then. All those gods didn’t just shrivel up. Maybe I should give it a try — No, I’d feel silly, and me a full-fledged mold praying to gods — and yet, what can I lose? A little while later on Olympus some of the gods were having a meeting chaired by Zeus. Shall we see what’s in the Suggestion Box today? Let’s hope there are a few more prayers and ideas than yesterday. I know this isn’t the age of the gods, but a little recognition would be nice” said the great god himself. Hades replied “I already looked, the only one I saw was that of a mold of some kind. It wants to have some quality that makes his organism special and worth something to people. So that’s what it’s come to, we are only prayed to by fungus!” “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. What could we do to help a piece of mold? added Ares, “Sure, we could have people throw mold at each other in a war!” Neptune said, “I’d help seaweed maybe, but not mold.” Added Aphrodite, “I agree, I think mold is gross.” Zeus’ voice thundered, “Shut up, you guys, don’t you listen? I just pointed out that ‘business has not been good’ as they say on earth.” “We could have mold flower”, suggested Pan, “Hey Apollo, what do you think? You’ve been awfully quiet,” he asked, looking at the Healer God. All the gods looked in the God of Light’s direction. He was leaning back with his eyes closed. It looked to the other dieties like he had the worries of the universe on his mind. In reality, he was thinking about the same problem being discussed at the table. And then something in his face changed, no one was sure what it was but Apollo spoke: “If it is alright with everyone else, I would just as soon you leave it to me, since we seem to be having a little difficulty reaching an agreement.” The other gods and goddesses looked at each other, then looked at Apollo and murmured a little. But the general consensus seemed to be ‘yes'. Zeus agreed, reminding the others of how good Apollo was with Public Relations. “Why, the mobs which would pour into Delphi with generous gifts for just a few words of wisdom will never be matched until that business at Woodstock in the 60’s.” Back on earth, Alexander Fleming, a bacteriologist, worked in his lab. He checked on some cultures of bacteria. Looking through the microscope, he murmured to himself. “What the -, it looks like the Staphyliccoccus have gone belly up. Yes, there are definite clear spots where the bacteria were. I could just throw this out and start the experiment again but what could’ve caused the bacteria to die, I wonder. It would be interesting to find out.” It was indeed interesting. Upon Fleming’s investigation he found the cause to be common bread mold or something in it. A few years later Howard Walter Florey, a biochemist, with the help of his associate, Ernest Boris Chain, isolated the chemical from the mold and named it penicillin. In 1945, Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize. On the morning of that day, a smile played upon Apollo’s lips as he went to the stable for his daily commute. Pedantic. That’s her favorite word. She would use it whenever possible and smile with a little twinkle in her eye when the occasion specifically fit the word. She’s always quick on the draw with a sharp comeback, a snappy answer, or a little comment. That used to drive me up the wall, until I realized that this keenness of tongue was a part of her personality, and that it wasn’t meant personally. Sometimes you forget these little things, the special aspects of some- one’s personality, when you don’t see them for a while. Yesterday I saw that same smile, with that same twinkle, and I knew that the Ursula who I know and love, still knows and loves me. This, on top of everything, adds to my amazement of her strength and forti- tude. “Inconsistency is the only thing in which we are con- sistent.” — Horatio Smith U Q • • • Oo I brought home my paper. ‘I got a 95,’ I told my dad. He said, ‘So where’s the other 5 points?’ 1 said, ‘C’mon Dad.’ So then, the next time, I bring home a 100, and y’know what he says? He says, ‘The hand- writing could have been bet- ter.’ ” 233 “I Listen, this is my sparkling repar- tee.” “What’s sparkling repartee?” “Don’t advertise ignorance.” “Sparkling repartee — you want me to look it up?” “How do you spell it?” “It’s hyphenated.” “No, it’s one word.” “But the question is, will it be on the SAT?” “I 1 can go up the down stair- case if I want to. I’m a senior, dammit.” 235 Things do not change; we change. — Henry David Thoreau Was that the late bell or the warning bell?” “I think it was the late bell. What period is this?” “Did fifth just end?” “Wait, was that the warn- ing bell?” “No, it was the late bell. Is it sixth now?” “1 thought you said it was fifth.” “No, I said I thought it was sixth.” “Well if it’s sixth period, then I’m supposed to be in class.” “1 have lunch sixth peri- od, but I think it’s still fifth.” “Was that the late bell?” 1 think there’s something wrong with my program.” “Well, let’s see: STUDY, STUDY, ECONOMICS, DOU- BLE PERIOD SHOP, ECO- NOMICS, STUDY, GYM. You’re right, there is some- thing wrong: you don’t have a lunch period. “My advice is not to inquire into why, but just to enjoy your ice cream while its on your plate.” — Thornton Wilder 236 237 “Alas! ... The picnic's over. — Gary Trudeau «u ITley, how do you like my trendy boots?” “They’re well . . . really trendy.” “Yeah I know, but I like them, so, so what.” “Don’t let people tell you what to wear.” “That’s right, 1 won’t.” Click your heels together three times and you’ll be in Kansas. 238 “V I ou’rc late. Go get a late pass.” “I was told they announced a train delay.” “I don’t care, you’re late ev- ery day. Go get a late pass.” “But ...” “You know, I can fail you with five unexcused late- nesses. It’s in the student guide.” “There is danger in reckless change, but greater danger in blind conserva- tism.” — Henry George 239 “To something new. to something strange. — Longfellow u A • • • And on my tomb- stone it will say ‘My only re- gret is that I took honors Trig.’ Jenny, how long did your math homework take you?” “I don’t know. Don’t worry about it — Just skim.” “Skim 50 pages?” “Oh no! Help! It doesn’t work! And I wanted to get to sleep tonight.” “What doesn’t work?” “226 number 52. It’s the one I have to put on the board. She must have supernatural powers.” “I’m all confused now.” — Ronald Reagan Presidential Debate 240 «n L amn! Only second period and we’re already out of paper. Anyone got a tissue?” “Get this advice column — the girl writes that she’s in love with her younger brother. Weird.” “What do they tell her?” “They wanna know if he’s cute ...” “Could I use the mirror just for a minute?” “I rea Zy need a tissue ...” “I’d like to use the mirror for just a second. This morning my hair just wouldn’t ...” “Yo! Get that hair spray junk out of my face before I smash you one!” “Look — they’ve got the week’s top ten bitch list up ... Hey! Who put my name there?” “Don’t sweat it — I’m number one.” “Could someone hold the stall door closed for me?” “No — don’t use that one. It’s the one that floods.” “I look just AWFUL today! Maybe I should go home and sleep it off.. “Anyone got a light?” “Who wrote that they hate Duran Duran? Oh my god I can’t deal with that!” “Is everyone SURE that they don’t have a tissue they could spare???” 241 “Wha, am I going to do? I’m never going to pass that class!” “Sure you will. You know he’s hot for you.” “Stop kidding around. I’m serious.” “So am I. Tomor- row — just batt your eye- lashes and look at him sug- gestively. See if you don’t get results.” “ft’s no use going back to yes- terday, because I was a different person then.” — Lewis Caroll 242 “V I ou know how Su- sie’s going out with that sophomore? Well I called her up last night and I said, ‘Hey Suz, are you sure you don’t want me to come along on your date with that sopho- more — whats-his- name?’ And she says, ‘Why?’ And I say, ’cause I thought you might need a babysitter.’ Isn’t that great! a babysitter. I swear — a sophomore — that’s robbing the cra- dle.” “Q Otill working on that English pa- per?” “Yeah. Listen to this line: ‘For it is not the people who hold the thought, but the thought that holds the people.’ ” “That’s horrible!” “Yeah, I know — but my English teach- er will love it!” “Turn and face the strange, ch-ch-changes.” — David Bowie 244 reckon when tomorrow comes I'll be nor- mal.” — The Vapors “I I’m sooooo tired! I stayed up ’till 2:30 doing my math homework.” “Ooooh! You’re soooo lucky! I was up ’till 4:00 Saturday, studying for my Hygiene test. I’m so ner- vous!” “Well at least you finished all of your work! My Oceanography teacher is going to kill me! I couldn’t start my home- work ’till after lunch and I was sooo tired that I couldn’t stay up any longer and I went to bed at 12:30!” “Ooh my God! You’re so lucky! That’s so early! I wish you were dead.” “So that’s Newton’s Law . . . any questions?” 245 246 247 VJuys, I had a dream last night that I was right and Mr. Fisher was wrong.” “Ahah! We can write about that!” “I’d like complete silence for five minutes, please.” “Hoo hoo hoo.” “You — go into the bathroom and write something.” “What if he doesn’t have to go to the bath- room?” “No one’s leaving until we get this done — we still need a dialogue for the last page!” “I can’t concentrate with this damn lad- der on my @!$!” “Wait — is someone getting this down?” “This one’s no good. Teachers never say things like ‘yeah well’.” “Mr. Hirshman does. Read it as if Mr. Hirshman were talking.” “Say something funny so I can write it down.” “This stuff is not brilliant, I hate to tell you.” “Aren’t there any Oreos left?” “Don’t worry. It can be stupid as long as it’s characteristic of Stuyvesant.” “They had funny dialogue in ‘The Big Chill’.” “I saw it again this weekend.” “Hey, y’know what? This one’s not bad.” “Okay, it’s going in.” innovation... transfiguration... avatar... shift change
