LOOKOUT We need seventy-two more inches of copy for this issue and it’s 11:00 P.M.” What do you mean you forgot to get that ad?” Who’s going out for the pizzas?” Put down those scissors, they’re lethal weapons.” I’ll bet Portal has left already . . . ” It’s press night in Room 176, alias the Lookout office and people are all over the place. Click, click, click,” go the typewriters. Mr. Italia yells at Donald, Donald yells at Arnold, Arnold yells at David and they all glare at the cub reporters. In the surrounding areas, pens are flying, literally and figuratively, as last minute articles are written and rewritten. The ads and articles for the issue are thumbtacked on dummy sheets. Pizzas are devoured, sodas are downed, and miraculously enough, in the wee hours of the morn- ing, the paper is put to bed. As the last people leave, someone says, Next time we’ll have every- thing done on time.” Second row, Barri Rosenberg, Barbara Sher- man, Linda Spanier and Anita Lazer. First row, sitting, Nancy Neckes, Allan Adolf and Steven Rosenthal. On right desk, David Kap- lan and Sheila Sondik. LOOKOUT BUSINESS BOARD: Sitting, Jonell Johnson. First row, Seth Nussbaum, Cathy Barlow, Ho- ward Wein, Martha Pivnick, Ula Dodson, Harriet Cohen, Robert Wolberg, Nancy Grogan, Joseph Waxman, and Laurie Scott. Second row, Stephen Cramer, Steven Wein- berg, Danny Pisetsky, Joe Toce, Louis Berens, Barry Wolfgang, Joseph Zwarick and Mr. Spencer Shaller. 13

LOOKOUT EDITORIAL BOARD: On left desk, Donald Mastronarde (Editor), Edward Lebetkin, Stewart Katz and John Aniello. Middle group, third row. Gale Nussbaum, Steven Kramer, Paul Spector and Robert Katz. Review Co-Editors: Donald Mastronarde and Susan Gold- man. REVIEW As a mother brings a child into the world, so too the Review staff, with infinite pains and tenderness, brings forth each year a collection of art, poetry, and prose. By running around and asking potential Pulitzer Prize winners to please submit their entries before the deadline (a most flexible date), by spending their vacations reading and correcting the entries that have trickled in, by turning out a good deal of original writings them- selves, Susan Goldman, Donald Mastronarde and Paul Spector, under the guidance of Mr. Devine, produced a literary magazine along with a few premature grey hairs. At the end of May the child was born and, although it’s not an anthology of originals by Picasso, essays by Thoreau or short stories by Hemingway, the Review is creative and thoughtful, the product of Weaver’s young artists. 12 W ‘ i.

FUTURE NURSES’ CLUB What do you mean you already bought three hun- dred and seventy-two pens?” Members of the Future Nurses’ Club are perpetually seen throughout the corri- dors selling, bartering and giving away ball point pens. Because of their diligent efforts, the club has sponsored a scholarship for a senior girl who is interested in nursing for a career. The Future Nurses’ Club has revised its program to encompass many more activities than previous years. FUTURE TEACHERS’ CLUB I got rubber pants! What did you get?” Ludicrous gag gifts were a highlight at the Future Teachers’ Club Christmas party. Besides throwing parties, the club has sponsored many constructive functions such as a speaker from the School for the Blind and a panel discussion. Mr. George Thomas spoke to the group early in the year about the qualities of a good teacher. 14 FUTURE TEACHERS ' CLUB (from left to right): Back row — Robert Gilman, Jonell Johnson, Joseph Waxman, Cheryl Coblens, Carolyn Esky, Barbara Strickland.
