eighth grade We made it through the year of loneliness and jammed lockers, only to realize that we're really not bigger than we were last year. Mr. Brown, our social advisor discovers a project-collecting tea-tags to buy a seeing-eye dog for a blind person. So, led by president Steve Miller, we hold a dance and charge an admission price of five tea-tags only to find out that the whole thing is a fraud. At our next dance Richie Alexander and Arlene Grotsky waddle'i their Way to victory in the dance Contest to the beat of a real band. In September, thirty-three of us enter the AP math class and only sixteen of us emerge in June. fr X ,A rf X X .. if V' y l ' , i . , ,f , . 5, urgfi I , il '- ,f K 'A V y ' , l l ' -X rl F' it ls Q.

in retrospect seventh grade The security of sixth grade is gone. Faced with six years of hard work and the confusion of a new school, we turn to Miss Nechi, our guidance counselor, and Mr. Brown, our social advisor, for assistance. We elect Steve Schwartz our grade president and he organizes our first dance: the only square-dance that ever had a pie-eating contest. Jerry Lewis stars at our next social function, a movie-dance with records instead of a band. Miss Aronowitz decides to com- bine fun and learning by taking us to the Mineola Court House and the New York Stock Exchange, where we lose Doug Falk on the Staten Island Ferry. 9 it 911 it Yr?

ninth grade Guided by Richard Horowitz, the freshman year is one of new experiences and adventure. Finally considered old enough to brave North's perilous halls alone, we are split up in homeroom and expected to find each class by our- selves and, before the late bell. Spurred on by Dickie Bentley and Steve Schwartz, float chairmen, we create our first float, the prize winning Disneyland, Thrilled by this success, we open our first booth at the junior Carnival and monkey to the beat of the Sideburns at our Olympics dance. Miss Nechi is replaced by Mrs. Heath-the second in what is to be a long list of guidance counselors. Our first Regents marks the end of a year of turmoil, but we weather it all optimistically. , ish lg '1- N nw xii , ..,. I, 1
