INTERVIEW Mr. S. H. Spahn

Liz: Why did you become a Headmaster?Reply: To establish a school with high standards of learning. A place where every individual would

aspire beyond mediocrity.Liz: What is your greatest joy?Reply: Waking each morning to the smile and wonder of my little son. Also, mainta in ing an honest

and meaningful relationship with my wife and students.Liz: What are your goals?Reply: To continue to study and learn. Life has a way of presenting new challenges which rob one of

the time to establish a knowledgeable background for fu ture actions.Liz: What do you believe is the ideal education?Reply: An ideal education is one that teaches us to become knowledgeable individuals such that we

act on that knowledge. These acts must be guided by the principle that what is done m ight become a law for mankind.

Liz: Should the educational system be altered to adapt to the changing time? Now?Reply: An educational system should aspire toward fu lf i l l ing the objective of an ideal education. This

means that students should be brought into close personal contact with wise individuals. Any change that allows this would be a step forward.

Liz: What do you believe is the future of the Senior Class?Reply: I have no crystal ball but I do know you have had a profound effect on your Headmaster. You

taught me never to lose faith in a student’s possibility to achieve what others considered highly improbable. If you continue on the path begun at Dwight and make demands on yourselves, you will someday fu lf i l l your visions.

Yesterday love and heartbreak today a chance to try again.

He wakes.Static pulsed, he peers about.His jungle d rum m ing heart pushes

out each breath,Which naked and new rejoins

the cold air.He breathes.He hears he breathes.He stops.And then makes sure he can start again.He finds his thum b among the covers.Cold and scared it beds down in

his warm mouth.He sleeps.

Looking within me you would see A wish to be understood But yet I am a loner and open rarely, Sometimes regretting even this —For I grow more cautious: apprehensive Of all things, persons, judgements;Growing further from the free spirit of a child, Why have I put away the free-flowing Joy of childhood, the spontaneity,The trustfulness, the unplanned Gesture, thought, nature?Why? Why?

IN MEMORIAM

Mr. Gregory Curry, who taught at Dwight School for twenty-nine years, was a dedicated, efficient educator. He epitomized the finest and most conscientious service to his students.

Of Mr. Curry our headmaster wrote: “ . . He enjoyed his students, know ingthat in their struggle to understand math each would gain a great deal. This was his ultimate satisfaction and deeply meaningful in his life."

All are in accord.

Dwight BasketballAgain the magnificent basketball team of Dwight School is making an attempt to

be one of the best in this school’s history. The team, which is coached by an old team member of only a fewyearsago, is Mr. Henry Cadra.

This team, which is larger than the team of last year, shows more talent than some of the past. Not only is the team seasoned with the spices of last year, but we also have a few new faces. These faces seem to balance the meal for a tru ly exciting game. The old faces are: Joe Rudolph, Henry Vizcarrondo, Bruce Warshaw, Stephen Sealy, Andrew Tarshis, Curtis Hill, and making a comeback Thomas Giannasca. The new members consist of: Jesse Anthony, Wayne Gonzalez, Randy Terry, and of course Dwight’s Robert Schagrin.

The team this year, w ithout a doubt, has the power to build a dynasty in the basket­ball empire. If there was ever a man to coach a greater team, one could not be found greater than Mr. Cadra.

In the management department, the team has received a veteran of the Books, Steven Schwaid, and the man that will take his place when he graduates, Richard Seroussi.
