We felt more in the swing of things and were looking forward to a year of many exciting ex- periences. All iuniors wanted to try their luck at the PSAT exams to be given shortly. We knew that although these College Board Exams were only practice, in a year's time we would be taking the real thing, so we tried to achieve the highest scores possible. This term brought with it many new assets to our fine faculty. Among the newly appointed teachers were Mr. Eisenberg, Mrs. Moscato, Miss Lipnack, Mrs. Wepner, Miss Ratner, Miss Sloves, and others. Mr. Leo Lieberman left our staff and assumed the responsible iob of Assistant Principal at P.S. 22, Bronx. Also, for a short time, Peace Corps members gained much experience by teaching and observing classes. Their sojourn at Roosevelt was to serve as basic training for their future assignments as teachers in remote corners of the world. Much praise was given to our own Darvels whom we heard at various school functions. Their first record, I Lost My Baby, was really great, and we all predicted a successful career for them. As autumn wore on, and the holiday season approached, one bitter November afternoon cast its dark shadow over the land. The stinging recol- lection of President Kennedy's assassination was imprinted firmly on our minds and spirits. The Thanksgiving season of that year was a saddened one, and we all gave thanks for having lived under his short, yet meaning- ful administration. Snow started covering our city and all the bright signs of the Christmas season soon filled shop windows. Between shopping uptown and down- town, we spent some time at home studying for mid-terms, which were soon to be upon us. With these tests completed, we watched a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas assembly, and at the end of the day, we wished our friends a Happy Holiday, and rested for the next ten days.

ELIZABETH BRUVI During the first days of January, we reconditioned ourselves to the school routine cmd some of us found new problems and needed assistance. After settling down, all of the departments regained their normalcy once again. Things started buzzing, however, in the English department, espe- cially around room 302, as Miss Natalie Sheidlower and her staff began preliminary work on the second publication of Prelude. They busily worked on Thursday afternoons to complete the magazine on time. Before we knew it, we had another vacation coming. With the comple- tion of finals, we looked foward to inter-session and thought about new classes, new teachers, and new problems we would soon be facing. Barbie Gurkin and Pat Wanzer f MAR LH DEUTSCH
