V s-. Kindergarten Mrs. Horowitz introduces us to school life. Show and tell is the morning's event. Toys and dolls along with our first loose teeth are major topics of discussion. B.B. G Y.K. start at this point and are the only ones to finish out. P.S. goes through her first glass door. Rebellions against rest hour occur daily. Spot and Jane appear in our first and favor- ite books. First Grade Who ever thought that only a handful would survive. Mrs. Kleiman and Mrs. Gold do their best to put up with wacky kids. J.W. makes a cameo appearance before becoming the youngest ever to be 'asked to leave'. D.W. shows us what real speed is on scooters and the football field. Mr. Contemanolis teaches us dodgeball when Mr. Breene is absent. Bowling parties begin as pin the tail on the donkey becomes a game for little kids. Second Grade Mrs. Garson divides us into advanced and normal groups for math and reading. R.R. puts tacks on S.M.'s chair as we all pretend we don't know who did it. The race begins . . . who shall finish S.R.A. first - A.L. joins us and wins easily. G.G. scares us when he burns his leg and Robert Reell scares us even more with his breath. J.B. defects from Brandeis to join us. Audrey S. begins her kissing chase as all the boys evade. Kickball and rope climbs are in style as L.A., S.M., and G.B. prove their athletic prowess.

Memories We all came to Woodmere Academy at different points in our lives expecting different things - we all enrolled for many reasons. We can say, though, that Woodmere Academy was not many things that we expected it to be, and that it has been many things that we never expected. Most importantl as we y, now begin to look back at our years here we are left with a myriad of memories. Some will be good, others bad, but each will have its own special niche in the back of our minds. These are a few special memories from the class of '82, its I Qi 3 f'f'1 L ' I i giiiiliii. itirlirr 1 ' fbi ' N i 9 ' , ' r 1 ' 1 N . . ' , , lit, QQQEQEEH : -in- J WEEE?

Third Grade The first day draws mixed reactions as we are split into 3-B's and 3-A's. Mrs. Amder and Mrs. Benson never were the same: in fact, Mrs. Amder leaves us halfway through and Mrs. Marks joins in the fun. J.S. departs, but not before he leaves us a library. We all begin to make fun of C.A., and he never realizes it. We work on penmanship and to the delight of the teachers B.B., A.L. and L.T. write beautifully - L.G. and A.H. don't fair so well. L.A. breaks his collarbone three or four times. Fourth Grade Mrs. Cohen becomes Mrs. Weinberg and Mrs. Marks becomes Mrs. Dori. Every so often one of us forgets their name and calls them mommy. Spell- ing bees begin. So does Mrs. Dori's sixty-four question game and A.H. and G.L. battle it out until the last day when she wins. M.S. joins us for one year, and one year only. D.K. gets his first computer, throws a lavish birthday party Cnot to be surpassed until G.G.'s bar-mitzvahj and comes to school three or four times. S.M. begins to play with L.T.'s head. J.S. puts his fist through a win- dow and calls it quits. Fifth Grade We learn to love Mr. Dover as he teaches us our chosen science. Playground football comes into full swing as L.A. and S.M. show off their bucca- neer skills. D.K. begins to attend school fairly reg- ularly. Mr. Poles conducts a mock court and A.H. gets his first taste of defending a hopeless case. We begin to take courses with the sixth graders and they are forever sorry. Mr. Poles and Mrs. Hurwitz are informed in December that they won't be returning so she packs her bags and leaves at lunch. Mr. Goldstein soon takes her place in math and home economics and shows us why scope was invented. L.V., M.C., L.A., and D.Y. depart. David Y. shows us what a true ge- nius is as he explains computers.
