4A Class History We are now ac a crucial point in our lives. We can look forward to what will be after graduation: college, service, or the business world. And we can look back. The past holds memories both happy and sad. We remember that cold February morning when nervous and frightened, we opened the large door on Chancellor Avenue for the first time. We were soon joined by new classmates from the junior high schools in the city. These two years served as an orientation period for us, making new friends, and getting acclimated to the school around us. Our junior year brought the excitement of elections. Jay Silverstcin was elected president. His abilities led to his re-election for the remainder of our high school years. The other positions have been filled by various capable people. Our first class social event was the 3B picnic; it was a huge success. South Mountain Reservation was left an absolute mess. In 3A we had our Junior Frolics, a square dance which in everyone’s opinion was just great. On a ■Misty Saturday night the 4B's gathered in the lower gymnasium for an unforgettable evening at the Hop. Farewell to you Senior As led to our pledge — to do our very utmost to set an example of leadership and respect to the rest of the school. Now the time has come for us to part and bid adieu. The memories of our prom, Torch Day, and graduation will be ours forever through the pages of this Legend. Rosalind Kaplan Susan Bain MEMORIES 25

FACULTY The Latin word education literally means leading out of. To us it means leading out of ignorance. Who are the catalysts, the individuals who give this word meaning? They are the teachers, who through their guidance, knowledge, and ability to convey this knowledge, lead the youth of all nations out of the darkness and mystery of ignorance. The future of this generation lies in the able hands of our teachers.
