The paper became much more involved with the student as a whole. The citizenry partook in the mechanical and literary ends of the paper. More importantly, however, they engaged themselves in an awareness of their community, the Atlas became the means of this recognition to current provocative subjects within the institution. Such issues as marijuana and the appearance of apathy in the Wilbraham student were discussed to a great extent in the paper and managed to arouse a great deal of interest within the student body. The Atlas not only covers topics such as those mentioned above but includes sports, organizations and worldwide news. The Atlas provides for a closer and stronger bond among the students because it covers all aspects of school life and, therefore, one can get to know someone a little more personally. Playing the role of a school newspaper is a big job, but the Atlas and its tireless staff do a very commendable job. first row: Kelvin Tyler, joseph Martocci, Kevin Rhodes, James Herzogg second row: Todd Gnesin, David Castlernan, Mr. Raphael, Ed- ward Leigh, Douglas Willey, Andrew Spearg third row: jason Pollack, Mark Darlington, Darius Mojallali, Keith Merrill, Donald Strauss, oseph Samick, Scott Winter, Steven illis, David Craig.

F RO-AMERICAN SOCIETY The black students at Wilbraham wished to join together for their own unity and also to add a new dimension to the Academy. They Hrst met together as a whole just prior to Christmas last year. Not wanting to represent the liberalization of school policy toward integration, the idea of an Afro-Arnerican Society, similar to those on many college campuses, arose. After long discussions with Mr. Cramer and Mr. Mattern, they gained the necessary approval. The first undertaking of the new society was active participation in the Northern Educational Services tutoring program. Here the black students felt they could aid underprivileged children to benefit from a better education than they themselves had received. The Afro-Am was still relatively imknown and wanted to Uexposen itself to the student body. A visit by speakers from the Harvard and Dartmouth Afro-American Societies resulted that Spring. Returning to school last fall, the Afro-Am opened its channels of discussion to the whole school at a special assembly. The Afro-American Society wants to make white students more aware of the black people's life and to bring about a greater understanding between the races. With understanding as its theme, the Afro-Am planned an eventful and interesting year. first row: Larry Grant, Ben Wilson, Dennis Marshall, Ford Dabney Roger Wallaceg second row: Charles O'Bryan,, William Goodrich, joseph Martocci, Lee VanDamm, Gregory O'Bannon, Kevin Rhodes, David Castleman, Vaughan Mason, Larry Brannen.
