Stand up straight, keep your feet on the ground, and keep smiling — we ' re getting our picture taken for the yearbook. If I close my eyes and wish real hard, maybe he will go away. Co-educational sit-in (non restrictive). 24 Ula Dodson contemplates existence.

WORK STUDY (from left to right): Pearl Brown, Mr. Ralph Worth (co-ordinator), Yvonne Morris, Susan Strong, Mary Ann Reliford, Connie Blackwell, Gerald Comtois, Billie Ware, and Frank Meynard. JUNIOR RED CROSS Inconspicuously, the Junior Red Cross holds its meet- ings and conducts its activities. Although they get little applause from the student body, they are necessary to Weaver life. Through their diligent efforts this year, the club members served their community by giving a successful party at Oak Hill School for the Blind, and organizing a school chest to be sent overseas. WORK STUDY The Work Study program gives many juniors and sen- iors a schedule of combined work and study. The stu- dents receive a full credit towards graduation for partici- pating in the job, part-time. They are dismissed from school early after finishing their subject classes and work in the afternoon. Coming home early, they have plenty of time for study. CHESS CLUB The silence of Room 338 is broken by a sharp shrill shout, Oh, did I blunder!’’ This is followed by the clatter of chess pieces knocked onto the floor by a sore loser. Then come the mock angry threats to a would-be kibitzer.” Anyone listening to these sights and sounds knows that the Weaver chess play- ers are playing the quiet, intellectual game of chess. THE CHESS CLUB (left to right): Paul Lubetkin, Sanford Geyer, Ginnette Gosselin, Jeannette Walker, Joe Toce, Carolyn Esky, Diane Michelson, Paul Michelson and Marianna Zamlauski. 23

BEST DANCERS: Veronica Hall and Lorenzo Dunlap. DANCE TIME Nobody really knows which was more fun — the dances or the ingenious an- nouncements pleading, begging and be- seeching students to attend them. Three dances in one year was definitely a major breakthrough and a Weaver precedent. Needless to say the football players were home resting up and eating Her- shey bars while the T.D. Dance was being held. Those who managed to at- tend, however, probably won’t forget it. The winter dance, Weaver-A-Go-Go was highlighted by Bill Robbins (hmm!). Of course, there’s still a glint in April Vozollo’s eye after being crowned queen of the Valentine Dance. Actually the T.D. Dance, Weaver A- Go-Go and Valentine Dance were all highly successful. The clean-up com- mittee, as a matter of fact, is still work- ing! And Steven Daitch says to Gail Daitch, How many have you killed so far?” 25
