The English Department is dedicated to the task of helping our students become better readers, writers and thlnl<ers. To achieve our goal, we take special interest in giving individual attention to each student. We strive to create in our classroom an educational experience which is intellectually stimulating and morally sound.
It is our hope that each Dwight graduate masters the basic skills and develops not only a love of learning but also an understanding and awareness of themselves and the world around them.

"Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealings.”
-R.W. Emerson
Of particular significance to the young people growing up in America are the moral, cultural, social, political,and economic values which collectively have been called the western tradition- .It is with this heritage that the history program largely concerns itself.
A primary objective of the History Department Is to reinforce the basic teachings of the English Department. O r g a n iz a t io n through outlining, note talking, summarizing, and interpreting culminate in the La Guardia research paper and many specialized theses assigned during the year.
The History Department is also dedicated to developing students who are capable of rational decision malting. Students are trained, therefore, to collect and analyze historical data and to discriminate between primary and secondary sources of information.
This year, the History Department has been well represented at numerous Model United Nation, Foreign Policy Association, and Presidential Classroom Seminars. A number of distinguished visitors from the world of law, economics, and politics have visited our classroom, giving our students a sense of the relationship between their studies and the real world.

LANGUAGE
The members of the Language Department believe in international communication. Languages are not just another academic subject; they are an inter- gral part of life, an exigency of today’s world. To speak a language well, to read the literature of another culture, and to write in a different tongue are rewarding and gratifying accomplishments which our students seek to attain.
Students who enroll in a language class at Dwight know that they will encounter an exciting learning experience. Immersed in French, Spanish, or Latin grammar, literature, and conversation, the Dwight language students develop skill and discipline in an enjoyable atmosphere.

A sound mind in a sound body is part of the ethos of Dwight. It is our hope that every Dwightonlan has learned the elements of team work, self-discipline, physical self-awareness, and healthful exercise through physical education.
Gym classes are a time to develop skills, share the excitement of team activities, develop tolerance and learn respect for those who struggle for self-improvement.
We are proud of the name Dwight and teach all the boys and girls to comport themselves with dignity and integrity on and off the court.
The program includes gym classes during the day, hotly contested intramural sports at selected times after school, and interscholastic teams. We teach our players to always give their best. Though we have championship volleyball, basketball, soccer and tennis teams, our goal is not banners on the wall. It is the sacrifice, struggle, and with it the sense of improvement that is the center of athletics at Dwight. For more than 100 years our students have distinguished themselves on the athletic fields. But it has been the life-long qualities that can be applied in any situation that has made a great Dwight athletic tradition.

Music is alive and well and resounding through the corridors of Dwight. Along with the introduction to certain aspects of music theory, music classes at Dwight love to sing. What better way to relax and enjoy, then to spend a 48 minute period opening up your heart and singing a vast array of musical sections. From the swing era of the thirties, through the show tunes of the forties, fifties and sixties, and up to the most contemporary hits, Dwight students sing it all.
The Art Department offers a variety of courses which allow students to explore and experiment with the different aspects of the visual arts. Classes are designed to familiarize students with a wide range of technical, conceptual and historical knowledge of the art world. In addition to the Studio Art and Art History courses, there are after-school activities such as Art Club and the video program which give students of all grade levels and talents an opportunity to worl< on creative projects that relate to artistic professions. Students are also encouraged to participate in art contests and to display their works in designated areas within the school and to be featured as “Artists of The Month". The art curriculum also works in conjunction with the Museum of Modern Art which offers workshops and internship programs for upper classmen. The major goal of the Art Department is to expose the many facets of the visual art world to the Dwight community, through "on hands ' experiences and field trips to various galleries and museums within the city.

SCIENCE
Science is a process of “ learning to see.” A country walk, the sight of the sky at night, or waves breaking on a shore all become more aesthetically beautiful with scientific insight. Hopefully, the scientist can find the image of a star at night as potent as any artist. But how much more profound does this appreciation become with a knowledge of light, distance, time and space; in other words, an ability to see worlds within worlds.
We aim to develop in our students an inquisitive attitude, leading to increased insight into the patterns and phenomena exhibited by the physical world, and through this wisdom develop a rationale towards the current technological revolution and Man’s role in the world ecosystem.

The Dwight Health Department encompasses the 7th, 8 th, and 9th grades. It is a weekly class in which students actively discuss: adolescence,group pressure, stress, first aid, drug related problems, etc. This is carried out by means of student projects and audio-visual productions.
This past year, the department has expanded to the 1 0 th grade with a “ Human Relations” course. It is designed to prepare students for their future lives, with respect to social interaction. These include: assertiveness, peer pressure, depression, dating, marriage, job interviews, etc. Through the use of role-playing techniques, students’ musical selections, filmstrips and videos; the students realize that they must accept the good and the bad aspects of life, and that each one of them can become a vital part of the world they live in.

Our goal is to prepare our students for today’s technology by providing a foundation in solid mathematical concepts, oriented toward preparation for college. We believe that besides competence in computational skills, it is important to foster mathematical insights and imagination.
We hope to motivate our students to choose fields of study where challenging and interesting opportunities are to be found and to believe in their ability tocontributefields.

This is to say farewell to all the Administration, Faculty and the Student Body of Dwight. I shall miss you all. I know that I “picked on” the students but that was because I wanted you to be the best persons I knew you could be. The faculty is a marvelous one and I appreciate all that you have done for me and the school. What can 1 say about the administration but that I love you all. I hope that all of you give Mr. Spahn and Mr. Engle your full cooperation and respect; they deserve it. They both work very hard for your comfort and happiness at the school.
Good Luck to all of you and Long Live Dwight

TWENTY YEARS LATER . . . May 21, 2005
Hi ho, NOELLE GIROUX here - reporting to you live from The Dwight School, Class of '85, 20th reunion. I’ll be your host tonight - introducing the guests as they arrive.
As most of you know. Governor RICHARD GUBERMAN’S (R-Liberal) new system of busing inner-city students to outer-city schools has left all the New York City public schools up for sale!
Taking advantage of the real estate deal of the century, entrepreneur CHRIS MAGRO, decided to purchase Julia Richmond and have it transformed into what is today one of the hottest nightclubs in town, "Richmond 54.’ Since the Dwight School graduates of the class of ’85 were such "party animals,” it was decided that CHRIS’ wild disco would be the ideal spot for their twentieth reunion. So, as the champagne flows and the music begins to roar, the party begins . . .
By the way, the inside scoop on Chris Magro is that he is planning to bring himself up on charges of embezzling minute sums of money from himself. While we’re speaking of criminal charges and court cases, here’s the latest from the Goober Gate Trails. The Governor has indeed been linked to his former classmate, NEVIL DWEK, founder and owner of the nation-wide chain of used car lots - Dwek’s Wrecks. Apparently, the two of them have been repainting 1955 Lincoln Futuras and selling them to Sandinista rebels as MX missiles.
"Richmond 54’’ never looked so elegant, and the class of ’85 owes this to the world renowned interior decorators, DANA HOCHBERG and PAMELA POST. The two inseperables first consulted with some of Richmond’s finer students and finally decided to go with the "Prison Theme.” Pamela said she and Dana had a "marvelous” time with the decorating but were at time "harassed.” Pamela just recently entered the world of interior design after the failure of her latest
|i novel, "All You Ever Wanted to Know About Being I Harassed and More.” The two ladies called upon the I world-renowned carpenter, ANDREW MATLINS, for I help in putting the place together for the big event. For i the past 10 years, Andrew has been all over the globe I on missions of carpentry, the most important of which I was bridging the small channel between San Francisco
and Honolulu with only a chisel and a power sander. Now, however, he is a lowly set designer under the auspices of the now slightly paranoid Miss "T .” Rumor has it that he and Mr. Edward Brown are not on speaking terms because Andrew stole his job.
Mr. Matlins is not the only alumni who returned to the Dwight staff. JOHN ENGLE, as was predicted by most Dwightonians, was made headmaster of The Dwight School. In addition, he teaches a course in A.P. Breakdancing. We’ve also learned that MICHELLE BAKER returned to Dwight as special advisor to a certain gym teacher who after many years of service still has a "couple” years left in him.
Who will be the next person to enter Richmond ’54? Why, it’s LINDA JENKINS. Linda has come far in the show business world since her appearances in the Dwight plays. She now works in Las Vegas performing
for hundreds, where she is highly praised for her Ann Jullian imitations. Coming in behind her is ANDREW HARRIS, who has also made a hit in show business. Andrew’s latest film is "Star War 17,” in which (rumor has it) Mr. Spock comes back in R2-D2’s body and has to help the old gang save the Death Star from the invasion of the Pickle People.
We asked Andrew where he had eaten his dinner, but he refused to answer for fear of insulting the two famous New York restaurateurs walking in behind him: STEVE CONLON and TYRONE WONG. Tyrone made it big after taking over his father’s restaurant, "Dewey Wong.” His brother, after long weeks of feuding, finally decided to give in and change the restaurant name to "Tyrone Wong.” His greatest competition is Steve, who is currently owner of the Irish populations’ favorite restaurant, “ O’Spuds.” Another one of New York’s most popular restaurants is also owned by a Dwight School graduate. The beautiful "Acropolis” coffee shop was taken over by PAUL PAPPAS and his brothers.
Acropolis’ popularity is partly due to the live entertainment they have now. MERYL COOPER performs her live stage act twice a week while also handling all takeout orders.
It’s hard to say who will arrive next. Wait, here comes the Dwight van, and look who’s aboard - it’s all the former Dwight athletes.
The first person to step from the van is DAWN BANKET. After the 1988 Olympics, she decided to give up her volleyball career and sign a one million dollar contract to make "Wheaties” commercials with Bruce Jenner. She can also be seen on "Cracker Jack” commercials doing her famous "Banket Spike” . Now we call that girl a "Cracker Jack” .
Oh look, here comes former basketball star, DYLAN BERNSTEIN, and his wife and business partner, Shyrell Lee Ralph Bernstein. Dylan is now the President of Motown records, and his big project now is to unite the sons of the Beatles. Unfortunately, Moonpuppy Harrison is nowhere to be found.
After Dylan, steps out ANSELL THOMPSON. Upon completing college he decided to return to what he loved, basketball. Ansell told yours truly that he has been drafted by the Harlem Globetrotters and now is affectionally known as "Baby Face” .
Next out is MARK MILLER and . . . and . . . OH MY!I may faint, he’s wearing black spandex pants, a bow tie and no shirt, why of course, his Chippindales outfit. We’ve heard that he has been drawing record numbers to the club and that every night his pants are stuffed with money.
Word has just arrived that Cardinal JON HUNT will not be joining us tonight as he has granted an audience to Pople John Paul XVII at his new Fifth Avenue home, St. Pats. Jon decided to devote himself to the church and give up the life he was leading: fast cars, fast women, and fast food.
Also unable to attend tonight is another famous religious personality, JOSH GOLDBERG, who was last seen in the Himalayas writing one-liners for the Dalai

Lama.The last two people to get out of the van are MIKE
ORAPCHUCK and BILLY LIPSON. It’s amazing what these two have been up to. After college Billy and Mike started to work together again. They began buying up all the New York athletic teams; the Mets, Rangers, Cosmos, Jets, Giants, and Yankees. All was going great with these two until they bought the Redskins and Anti-trust suits were filled. Instead of selling the team, they folded it and wrote it off as a tax loss. This was fine, but it put Dwight graduate JIMMY ALTMAN out of a job. Not being phased by this setback, Jimmy immediately contacted geneticist, SCOTT WOLLAND, and had himself cloned. These clones got together and formed the newest of the NFL teams, “ Jimmy’s Genes” and will meet the Rams in Super Bowl XXXX.
As the van pulls away, a huge motorcade pulls up and out steps . . . the Vice President KARA BAKER (D-Liberal. I notice that our president JONATHAN BLYTH (R-Conservative) is nowhere to be seen. Good thing too, because these two have been having some rather serious arguments lately. At the last private event that these two attended together, Mrs. Baker tried to strangle the President with a bologna.
Not known to many but known to moi, is that two Dwight grads, JACK POLLACK and PAUL LaROSA, now work as free-lance mercenaries and at this very moment are on a special mission for the President. These two were last spotted driving inconspicuously through Cleveland at 145 mph in their fire red Porsches towards Arizona to “ keep the world safe for Democracy” .
Their latest mission involves a Dwight graduate. The recent sinking of California into the Pacific has been linked to now real estate mogul, JORDAN EDELL. During his post college years, Jordan brought up a great deal of desert land in Arizona which is now going for millions on the open market. Word has it that Jordan recently found a very confused JON TOPPEL skateboarding aimlessly near Phoenix looking for Malibu.
Unfortunately, many of the ’85 graduates will not be able to attend the reunion. REBEKAH RAFFAELLI is now living in Argentina with the rest of her family.
DIANE KARLIN is not attending because, basically, no one knows where she is. During attendance at Franklin & Marshall, she was driven totally berserk by the team of BLYTH and GUBERMAN. After destorying the commissary with a bazooka, she took off for the West and was never seen again. Some speculate she went down with California.
GREG NESPOLE was last seen leading a group of guerilla rebels in a revolution against all Facist regimes. Unfortunately, his planned overthrow of these governments failed because the rebels wouldn’t “ get psyched.”
JAY CAVALIERI, now captain of the Love Boat, was last spotted steaming south through the Bermuda Triangle with a full boatload of stars on his way, he told the producers of the show, to conquer Cuba. I guess that once you get that Annapolis spirit in your blood, you never lose it.
I’d like to introduce to you now, JIMMY LOEB, who is our head bouncer for tonight. Let’s talk to him a bit. So James, anybody tried to crash yet?
“ Yeah, there was this one guy, insisted he went
to Dwight. For 6 V2 ysaas ysi, sasw sjie or Tom, something like that.”
Look, LISA GOLUSKIN is coming up block. You can see that girl half a mile away, those day-glow dresses can really hurt your eyes, I wish I had sun glasses! Lisa now owns the Unique clothing store on Broadway and has diversified into all sorts of products you wouldn’t dream of. They’ll paint your car in colors a blind man can see, and while florescent orange pasta doesn’t appeal to me, it’s never the less a big seller.
ILANA BASSMAN will be by later to autograph her new book, “ 101 Cute Things All in One Place,” which has been on the New York Post best-seller list for 8 months now.
One person who said she was going to attend but wasn’t able to make it (for she became engaged in a Speaking tour) is LILIANA TRAFFICANTE.
Well, we received news that WINNIE WEST is on stage once again but this time it’s way-way-way off Broadway.
Still glowing from his Florida tan, DAVID BLITSTEIN comes through the door. David’s story is quite interesting. According to him, after receiving his college degree in Underwater Basket Weaving with a minor in Alligator Wrestling, he joined the Boca Raton Vice Squad where he spent several years busting geriatrics for cheating at mah jong. Talent Scouts, vacationing in Florida, discovered David and have cast him in the new movie, “ Snoopy Goes to Boca Raton,” a musical thriller that packs in sex, violence and a little tap-dancing.
Following closely behind Blitstein is leading feminist, PAMELA BERMAN. Pam now spends her time traveling from college to college on her crusade to have the 26th Amendment ratified.
Next to enter the doors are the two leading astrologists, LOREN HAVER and LISA OUAKNINE, who now float all over the country reading palms and tea leaves. The highlight of each year is their column of predictions for the Globe and Enquirer.
Wait, did somebody ring a doorbell? Why, it’s REVA GOODMAN and KARI ALBERT, New York’s sweetest and most popular Avon ladies. The two have promised all Dwight graduates that they will be giving free make-overs all evening. What a nice surprise!
SCOTT VAN DER MARCK has just arrived to the delight of the many single folks in our crowd. As you all know, Scott is now the host of the All New Dating Game, the new format being all the girls win him as their dates. Scott’s new found fame has not dampened his humanitarianism. We are told that he was responsible for employing two of his fellow Dwight graduates on his show. DAVID SILVERA now blows the “ wet kiss” at the end of every show, and SCOTT ROSENBERG chaperones the winning couples on their all-expenses-paid trip to the Hapsbury Memorial Tropical Fish Cemetery.
It’s getting late already, and it would not be a party without MELISSA SLOAN coming fashionably late, as usual. Melissa has become well known after she was elected to be Miss Clairol. The people at Clairol have put Melissa on every hair commerical, and she now has the most recognized roots in America.
Well, as the night has finally come to an end, we must bid a goodbye to the class of 1985 and say “ See you at our 50th ”

And now a new feature in The Dwight School yearbook: It’s a word from the school! That six story brownstone that’s been standing on 67th Street between York and First Avenues, battling winds from the East River, gazing at busy-looking people in white coats from the hospitals, listening to the noisy honking traffic, appreciating the aromas wafting from pizzarias and delis and inhaling all that lovely New York City pollution.“ I’ve seen a lot in my day, but I’ve never been more alive and vibrant than I am as a school. I guess my loneliest months are July and August, but from September through June I’m in my element. Why, I must be the most educated ton of bricks in the world. Also the luckiest.
“ I start waking up when somebody turns the lights on and some faculty members and a few early-bird students start prowling the halls. Then as close to 8:45 a.m. as possible there’s this mad rush. The crashing and banging in the lower recesses of my framework, the sound of many cheery and quick hellos, the sudden jolt of some students who happen to finally wake up to find a book in their hands and the hustle and bustle of the daring few who brave taxi cabs, buses and the general mayhem of the city to arrive at school on their own set of wheels. If I wasn’t awake before, I am certainly jolted into reality as the second bell of the morning sounds.

"Along with the standard subjects that I ’ve been able to eavesdrop on such as English, the languages and math, I’ve been keeping up w/ith current events in all levels of history. And let me tell you, there’s been a lot of history in the making since my foundations were laid. I am proud to say that I have recently become an expert in computers. Of course I’ve been at it longer than some of the students. To prove it take a look at this snapshot of a few baffled seniors. I must also boast about my appreciation of the more cultural aspects of an education. I have watched many an art class master sketching, drawing and painting and I have had my very foundations rocked by aspiring singers.

"Well here we are in what you might refer to as the “mitochondria” , or powerhouse of my esteemed framework. (See how much I’ve learned in Biology class!) I am speaking, of course, of the Gym where physical education definitely unleashes energy. You can really see the unleashed energy in the action shots. Even changing into your uniform can be fun! Of course you may sometimes encounter one of those “yearbook photographers” when you least expect it.

“As midday rolls around, everyone goes in search of a satisfying meal, which the few blocks surrounding me offer a vast array. There’s always the option of a formal sitdown luncheon with friends and if you’re not too sure how to handle the food, well, help is never too far away. Or perhaps you prefer "roughing it” in the great outdoors. What fun to have a picnic lunch with a few friends or perhaps taking a stroll in the sunshine to work off those extra calories. Maybe just eating in solitude, to reflect on the days happenings or that test that’s yet to come, is the thing for you. Of course if you just can’t decide what to have for lunch, there’s no use arguing. Remember, when in doubt — you can always have a slice of pizza!

‘‘After the lunch hour, there’s another mad rush. Everyone’s back, all refreshed, refueled and ready for their afternoon classes. Whether it’s Shakespeare or delving into the great mysteries of science, it never ceases to amaze me that learning can be fun. I mean all these years have gone by and I still learn something new every day. Most of the students feel that w/ay too. Whether they ponder great thoughts by themselves or with a few friends, there’s always something to discover.

“ It’s 2:45 p.m. again! Time to pack up and head home or maybe hang out for a while and play some handball, or catch up on some conversation you couldn’t have in class, or pose for a picture with friends. But no matter what kind of activities go on after school, the crowd eventually disperses and darkness falls and I just can’t help feeling a little sad. The days fly by so fast and before you know it, YOU will be part of my history. And as you all pass through the halls of Dwight for the last time, I want you to know that this ton of bricks will miss you! So, from The Dwight School to the Class of 1985 . . . The Best and Brightest Future!”

HE DWIGHT SCHOOL NEWSPAPER 402 E. 67th SI- N.
L C
M lNoelle Giroux (Editor-in-Chief) and Jenny Wiener — (Managing Editor) discuss the next Issue.
It all began In June, 1984. School had ended for the year, at least for most students. Miss Tichotsky and Mr. Murphy asked that anyone interested In working for the newspaper come Into school during one day of summer vacation. Several people showed up, and we were all asked to write a movie review and to rewrite a story. After this was done, both faculty advisors interviewed each person and asked them a variety of questions. They were all told that they would learn of their decisions by mail sometime during the
summer.When school started in September,
the newspaper staff held meetings to discuss the purpose of the Dwight paper. The staff was determined to make the paper as good as possible. The reason for such determination stemmed from the failures of previous Dwight newspapers.
Jenny Weiner, Managing Editor and Noelle Giroux, Editor-In-Chief have worked very hard on the paper, to make each Issue as creative and interesting as possible. They are very
pleased with the outcome so far.The newspaper is very difficult to
run, taking a lot of time and devotion. It became very clear why all the papers in the past had not done well. It was due to the fact that time was scarce and the degree of commitment the newspaper requires. It was agreed by the staff that the paper should come out bi-monthly.
As for next year, it is the staff’s hope to become proficient enough to put the paper out every month.
E ACTIVITIES
Literary Magazine
If Dwight students have something to say about human experience, they have a forum-the school magazine.
Founded to fulfill the creative needs of those students who wish to experiment with literary forms of poetry, the short story and the prose poem, as well as with the prose poem, as well as with the pictorial forms of Illustration, cartoon, and drawing, the Dwight magazine for well over a decade has provided a medium of expression that has proved edifying for
the student body and faculty members alike.
In character the magazine over the years has been protean-taking its particular tone from the personalities of the students involved in its production. The whimsical and the solemn, the satirical and the serious, the spiritual and the mudane, all have found an audience at The Dwight School through the always exciting, sometimes irreverent, often unpredictable literary magazine.

M O D EL UNITED NATIONS
♦ ir-iSr
It has been a long tradition at The Dwight School to have a Model United Nations delegation. Under the direction of Dr. Russell J. Elliott the club has won over sixteen first place awards in the last two years, one of the best records in the city.
The club is made up of students from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior class, selected by Dr. Elliott for their intrest in the club.
This year began with the club returning once again to the Metropolitan Model United Nations Conference at John F. Kennedy High School where Dwight students represented the United Kingdom.
The greatest success of the year
came at the Westchester Model United Nations Conference at Hastings High School where Dwight took three out of six first place awards, and a second place award in the Security Council.
The year ended with a return to W. Tresper Clarke High School Model Congress which is like a Model U.N. where the delegation become Senators and Representatives. This is where Jonathan Blyth won best speaker in the House of Representatives the previous year.
At the Model U.N. delegations meet with other schools from around the state in sessions that are similar to those held at the United Nations.
D ifferent schools represent the
delegations of different countries. During sessions delegates introduce and pass or defeat resolutions. The conferences take place at high schools around the state.
This years Model United Nations Club was headed up Jonathan Blyth. His advice for handling a debate effectively is “ If you are engaged in an argument, and you happen to get corneredd, ask a irrelevant question and lean back with a satisfied grin while your opponent tries to figure out what’s going on-then quickly change the subject.” He thinks this technique works at the real United Nations, too.

The Junior Model U.N. began as an idea for preparing 7-9 graders for tlie upper scliool version of the club. It was to serve as a training program for the senior group which debates with other schools. M em bers of a school’s delegation debate in ad hoc committees on current affairs which are a part of the United Nations’ agenda. A school’s club will represent the foreign policy of a country in different areas, including military and economic affairs and social-humanitarian-cultural issues. The Junior Model U.N. meets once a week on Monday afternoons
and practices debating. Each member argues the position of his country’s government. The debate proceeds according to Parliamentary procedure, which is the set of rules that govern discussion in the UN Itself. Originally the group was just going to prepare for debates within itself; however, it recieved an invitation to partake in a Junior Model U.N. which included many city schools. A result, Dwight sent a delegation to Horace Mann on April 20th. The group captured three fifth place awards to end a very successful year.
ACTIVITIES
BLUE KEY
A new club has been formed at The Dwight School. Known as the Blue Key, It Is primarily a social service organization. The club’s faculty advisor is Mr. William Goodin.
Blue Key, was organized last year when Pamela Berman asked Mr. Spahn, Dwight’s headmaster, to suggest a community organization which was in need of student volunteers. The soup kitchen, run by Central Synagogue, to feed the homeless, was just the right choice. Joined by her friend, Diane Karlin, the two girls went to the Synagogue every Thursday morning at 6:00 a.m. to help prepare and serve breakfast.
As the year progressed, more and more students asked to participate in the program. Sensing the Interest In community service, Pam decided to find another program In which to involve her classmates. She contacted Lenox Hill Neighborhood Association (LHNA), an organization which services the community
around The Dwight School. Pam was delighted when the LHNA asked for volunteers to assist them with Project Scope, a program that delivers gifts to the homebound elderly on holidays. Last Easter Dwight students delivered numerous floral arrangements to these grateful people. Both the soup kitchen and Project Scope were rousing successes.
This year Blue Key became the offical Social Service Organization of The Dwight School. Elected to offices were Pamela Berman, President, Meryl Cooper and Diane Karlin, sharing the post of Vice- President, Linda Jenkins, Secretary, Andrew Matllns, Treasurer, and Richard Guberman Chief, of Special Assignments. The club has expanded and every officer has been assigned one project to oversee. In addition to feeding the homeless, Pam Berman is Involved with Project Scope and recruiting volunteers for LHNA, while Meryl Cooper is in charge of a very successful tutorial program. If
anyone is having difficulty in an academic subject, help is definitely available through Blue Key. Dwight student volunteers proficient In various subjects are eager to help their fellow schoolmates. Linda Jenkins and several volunteers are now working three times a week with the students of The Dwight School’s next- door neighbor. Public School 183, tutoring young children in reading and writing.
Enthusiasm for the Blue Key Club has trickled down to the Juniors, Odile Anderson, Michelle Breslaw, Christopher Boise and Jennifer Weiner have become very involved. Odile, Christopher and Jenny are now running the soup kitchen. Every Friday morning four volunteers help out at Central Synagogue.
The Blue Key is underway, it has rnany programs to offer. If Dwight studer's are willing to continue to work ha' and nurture this newly born organizatic ^j|| become an integral part of The jq| * School experience.

Amidst the chaos of the competing voices of crew and cast, there was the idea. Then there was the goal. The goal was to videotape the recent performance of “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” . Not the videotaping that most everyone is familiar with; Mr. Murphy in an unobtrusive corner catching a performance, for good or for bad, for posterity. This was along the lines of film-making. This time a new door was opened: Acting for the camera.
Mr. Brown explains: After my fourth or fifth show at Dwight I had the idea of starting a class or program where the concepts and practicalities of video could be explored by students. This exploration could open new doors; each of these doors leading to new avenues and a varied future. So it came to pass that equipment was made
available and a blank check for its use. With all this, announcements were made and we waited. We had nibbles and bites for five to six weeks, until we had a solid core of students with time and dedication. During those Initial weeks, the applications and types of video were discussed.
The primary point of all discussions and projects are, and were, the goal of this program: Communication. Today you see the use of video all around you. It is used for advertising, sales promotion in stores, home movies, films for the home, as a vehicle for art, as art, for science, and the list grows. The most important aspect of the video program Is communication. The expression of ideas is a critical point in today’s world. We hope to teach this through the program from the initial
idea, to the writing of, discussion of, planning of, and finally the execution of the idea within the video format. Every participant in the program works in every aspect of the program. They work as writers, crew, directors, and as on-camera talent. Thus by doing every job, they learn to communicate with each other and the viewer in a clearer and more concise manner. It has been a tough road this first year, but it has been worth it. Like anything else, when something new is introduced or explored, there is growth if something is learned. Much has been learned; Teamwork, and to work in a team requires much give and take. To do It well is a sign of growth, and after all, isn’t that what it’s all about?
ACTIVITIES
The Dwight Varsity Basketball team perform at the Holiday Assemlply.
The Dwight School Choir is comprised of a group of girls from seventh to twelfth grade. The girls meet during their lunch periods to rehearse, and they provide musical entertainment for the whole school at assemblies and graduation. Many of the girls perform solos, as well as singing as one part of the entire choir. The Dwight School can be proud of the talent we have.
The highlight of our singing season was at the Holiday Assembly in December, when the Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team left the court to go to the stage, joining the girls in a special rendition of White Christmas. This, of course, brought the house down, and the choir looks forward to making this a new tradition at Dwight.
ACTIVITIESOn Thursday, March 15, 1984, The
Dwight School Choir stepped aboard a 747 airplane. Its destination: London, England. This would be the first time for the choir to sing overseas but not the first Dwight club to be in England. The Varsity Soccer team had played in England in 1982 and the Volleyball team in 1983.
The choir traveled through Oxford, Stratford-on-Avon, Bath, Bristol, South Wales, arriving finally in London. Along the way the choir viewed Stonehedge, Anne Hathaway's cottage and attended services at Oxford Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and Saint Paul’s. In London the Choir saw the famous historical sights including the Tower Of London. They also relived many fairytales while visting several ancient castles-one of which, Warwick Castle, amazed us because one of our girls had the same last name!
T
While in London, the Choir saw a play, musical, opera or a concert every night until it came time for their own performance, held at the International School of London. The debut of The Dwight School Choir in Europe was a great success, much to the participants' relief and satisfaction. The audience cheered, and the group signed autographs.
On top of their success, the Choir came home with a few new trinkets from Laura Ashley's, Harrod's, and the thrift shops of Soho. They also came home needing a larger dress size, as the English food, although not too tasty, had taken its toll. The Choir had discovered “double deckers, smarties (the delicious British Candy) and ice cream with flakes.”
The singers all accomplished their goal: singing well and having a great time.

The more selective residential colleges have long subsclbed to the theory that the interaction of students among themselves and w ith their teachers outside of the structured classroom environment is at least as Important to their education and maturation as anything that happens In front of a blackt>oard. W e at Dwright agree. Besides it’s fun. The Dwight Outing Club provides such experience In tvtfo ways: through its wilderness programs and its Invnard Bound excursions to various parts of New York City.
The Dwight Outing Club arranges for faculty and students to share the pleasures of backpacking trips, canoe camping expeditions and winter weekends of cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. The patient and meticulous among us engage in animal tracking and orienteering over w ilderness terrain with m ap and
compass. The more daring opt for the thrills of downhill skiing, w hite-water rafting and canoeing
Students who may be shy in the classroom often show another facet of themselves in the outdoors where their wilderness experience and skills make them natural leaders. Knowledge that seemed esoteric in the science class can assume a compelling Immediacy on the trail or In the water. When a canoe has to be guided through waves pouring over submerged rocks, knowing the principles of hydrokinetics can be very im portant. In a m ore contemplative mode, an observant backpacker cleaning the cooking gear by the w ater's edge can remember his physics lessons and relate the dark circles on the sandy botton to the w ater bubbles on the surface acting as Fresnei lens.
One of our favorite trips is our annual w eek of canoe camping in Florida's Everglades National Park in tvlarch. W e spend two days In the fresh w ater environment of a mangrove swamp sighting alligators, manatees, and myriads of plumed birds and camping at night on wooden platforms built In the middle of the water. For a change of pace w e take to the dry land for a day in the company of a park naturalist who explains the flora and fauna we have been observing. Our last three days are spent in a salt w ater environment of Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. W e go fishing, shelling, and sight sharks and other ocean denizens. At night w e camp under the palms on the beach of Cape Sable.

The Dwight Soccer team ended a successful season by winning the 1984 ACIS championship. Overall the squad’s record was 5-5-1 while achieving an undefeated record in league play.
It was a long and challenging road to the playoffs beginning with five hour daily practice sessions during August. Also, all seventeen players practiced daily after school in addition to maintaining full academic requirements.
The Dwight Soccer program has a tradition of playing outstanding teams In non-league competition. Although our record was below 500% against these teams, the games provided vital preparation.
The year culminated with the cham pionship gam e against Anglo-American. As always the Dwight-Anglo match was an exciting sporting event. The victory was especially gratifying as it was the second time that Dwight defeated Anglo during the season.
As the season progressed, the players evolved from a collection of individuals into a group of young men with a common purpose. The members of the 1984 Dwight soccer squad can take pride in both a winning season and the knowledge that hard work and self-sacrifice has its own rewards.

Playing Varsity Basketball at Dwight
"K i" Is a Japanese-oriented belief that the universe Is filled with a special energy which Is applied to dally life, and that the universe Is one. The originator of "K i," KolchI Tohei, ultinnately believed that " K r ' w as the unification of mind and body; that "mind and t>ody are Inseparable."
The varsity basketball team agrees they are proud to be on the squad and that it is definitely the most important committment to them, other than their academic work. We have spent many of our summers going to basketball camps and playing In summer leagues so that our performance on the court at school would be at Its best. The basketball season at Dwight lasts for five months, and practice Is held every day.
in order to play on the team , w e must maintain our school grades, w e can never be late or miss a practice, and many other sacrifices have to be made as weil. Jonathan Hunt, Ansel Thompson, and Dylan Bernstein have written a new chapter in the Dwight history book, it Is called "The Trium virate." For the first time in Dwight's history, there are three captains who share responsibilities for the team under Mr. Henry Cadra. M r. Cadra has now coached at Dwight for eighteen consecutive years. He and coach Bobby Knight (Coach Knight Is often referred to as the DEAN of basketball) share the throne as the disciplinarians of the sport.
Playing basketball at Dwight has proved to us that w e can push ourselves to the ultimate limit, physically and mentally. M entally we must be strong, positive, and prepared. With this attitude, w e can push ourselves through the physically demanding practice and be mentally prepared to apply w hat w e've learned. KolchI Tohei's ultimate belief "Ki" exists for those who play for M r. Cadra. The physical and mental elements go hand in hand. W e can be physically exhausted but still maintain a positive mental outlook.
Just as past Dwight basketball players who have gone on to achieve many great things for themselves, the players of the present plan to do the same. The team Intends to strengthen their "K I" and to continue strongly by pursuing their Interests and academic studies. For those who are returning next year, they will pursue their basketball career at The Dwight School.

BOYSIn recent years Dwight has been renowned
for having a superior tennis program. The varsity tennis team of 1985, however, should supersede this reputation and command not only the ACIS league, but every varsity tennis team crossing its path. Jeff Yusko, in his first year coaching the Tigers, will field three ranking Juniors among the starting seven: Scott van der Marck, Louis Addesso and Alex Dank. He can, as well, boast a team with depth unusal for a New York City private school. Even the doubles combinations which constitute the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh spots on the team are rankable; they play tournaments and are match-tough, which will be a much needed attribute against the larger and more highly acclaimed boarding school teams such as Choate and Kent who will be met by the ferocious Tigers on a weekend road trip sometime in April. A goal this year’s varsity is looking forward to is an undefeated season among the private schools in New York City and the pummeling of its out of state competition already on the calendar, gaining the Dwight team recognition as a leading tennis team in the East. This year’s varsity tennis team should go on to produce a fabulous banner season.

Dwight Squash 1984-85 was a season filled with fun and frolics. Although the team began with a somewhat disappointing shutout versus a strong St. Ann's squad, the team came together for a flourishing finish. Against Friends (if that's what you call them) Dwight won by 6 to 1. And, in the season's finale, Dwight fought valiantly in defeat.
On this note the 1985-86 season looks quite promising with the development of first year players, Flores, Sloan, Neu, Sussman, Koz, and Grubman. We look forward to the leadership of Gary Robbins as first singles. This year we wish the senior members goodbye and thank them for their time on the team: Cavalieri, Topple, Engle, and Baker.

Th e season of 1984-85 w as very rewarding for the Girls' Varsity Volleyball team . Th e team learned that hard work and concentration pays off. Th e team was placed in Division A as a result of winning Division B in 1983. The team had all the players returning with strong new additions to the team such as Stacey W ueste w ho w as extrem ely strong in the front court along with reliable defensive play. Accom paning her w as Kim W ueste who w as also strong in both areas as a freshm an. Lilia M ead, sophom ore, cam e through with all-round good playing and excellent front row playing tow ards the end of the year. Elyse W olland, a new com er to volleyball, im proved vastly and w as alw ays reliable with her serving. Kim M errit w as another sophom ore who cam e though with a lot of spirit and hustle to bring the team to the top. Four seniors will be leaving in 1985. Lisa O aukanine w as the m ost im proved player of the season along with Michelle B aker who had a lot o f good court tim e. Every team has quiet players, such as Loren Haver. She w as alw ays there on defense and the m ost consistent server on the team . Dawn B anket w as co -capta in with Stacey W ueste. D aw n w as chosen this year as the All-Star Player and M .V .P . of the season. Stacey W ueste w as chosen as the M ost Valuable team m em ber, and Loren Haver received the C oaches ’ Player Award.
The team s 12-2 record w as one of the m ost successful seasons Dwight has ever had. Th e last vwo w eeks o f the season w ere the m ost exciting and definitely the m ost rewarding. W e w ent on to beat strong team s such as Lenox and Dalton. A fter losing to Dalton in the League Cham pionship gam e the team cam e back to destroy them in the playoffs Tw o gam es to one. (This w as after Dwight took out U .N .I.S . 2-0). A nyone w ho w as at the cham pionship play off gam e knows w hat it m eans to fight and succeed.
Our com bined winning record of 3 gam es to 2 against Dalton w as another reason for our winning season. And of course all this drive did not com e from now here, Coach P arker w as determ ined to win and taught us how to succeed.

To the 1985 Class of Dwight School:
Since its founding, our nation has placed the highest premium on education. In his F irst Annual Address to the Congress, George Washington reminded us tha t "knowledge is in every country the su res t basis of public happiness," a theme echoed by Thomas Jefferson when he wrote a friend tha t no o ther su re foundation could be "devised for the p reservation of freedom, and happiness." These are the values tha t are at stake in the education of every individual, and they offer a prize well worth your labors.
Today you have taken a long stride forward toward the fulM m ent of your hopes and dreams, and you can feel great pride in knowing that the spirit of our nation goes with you on your journey.
Congratulations on your graduation. You have my best wishes and p ray ers for every fu tu re success and happiness. God bless you.

Dear Class of 1985,
My nomination as the first woman Vice- Presidential candidate proves that in America no door need remain locked, no opportunity barred. In America, if you work hard and play by the rules, you can earn your share of America's blessings. This election is really for you and your future. I want to be sure that you inherit an America from today's leaders where that still holds true.
The leaders of today have a duty to you, the future leaders of America. I want to be sure that every opportunity is open to you, that you are not paying off the debt of today's leaders and that you have a safe world in which to live. That is my commitment to you, the graduating class of 1985.
My best wishes to you and congratulations upon your graduation.
Cordially,

The Year in Review . .We live in deeds, not years; in the depth of feelings, not in grades or numbers; in creative thoughts, not breaths; we
must count time by heart throbs, in the course of right actions. The 1984-1985 school year has been a profoundly memorable one for all of us at Dwight.
Dwightonians have made a significant contribution to their school community and to the city at large. The Blue Key Society helped feed the homeless, gave guidance to underclassmen at Dwight, tutored less endowed in our neighboring public school, and brought Easter dinners to the homebound. One young lady was selected as the outstanding good Samaritan of the East Side by the Yorkville Service Organization. Plans have been prepared for our students to help assuage the pain and anguish of child cancer patients at Sloan Kettering Institute. The measure of a man is the extent of the shadow of his good deeds. This year Dwight students cast a veil far and wide over the East Side.
I count among great individuals those people who have a profound depth of feeling. When a ninth grade boy’s father passed away, his friends and teachers surrounded and supported him with caring concern. A classmate’s father, hearing of his tragic loss, said to me, “ If the boy and his mother need any financial help, I stand ready to assist. The one condition is that the boy not know his benefactor.” Greatness is not in the offices we hold or the honors we receive but in those special deeds that come from a profound sense of common humanity.
You would expect me to extol the accomplishments of our championship volleyball and undefeated Girls’ Basketball team or the ACIS Boys’ Soccer and Basketball first-place banners. Yes, we are proud of their accomplishments. But, what pleased me more was the members of all the teams who worked hard and never lost heart even when losing. Victories are won in your heart, and with the right attitude, not by the score on the board. Special moments included when the girls beat Dalton for the championship after losing an earlier match. I watched players learn to overcome pain and to do what others perceived as being impossible. The varsity basketball team, during the Collegiate tournament, played like a symphony in perfect harmony the second half to defeat Horace Mann, the Ivy League champions. I was pleased that all Dwight athletes never hung their heads low after making a mistake. Win or lose, they conducted themselves with dignity. It is an honorable tradition of passionate, persistent and consistent effort that makes us special among all the schools in New York.
You would expect me to praise the eleven Regents Scholarship winners, but what impressed me more was the accomplishments of three students in particular. A senior admitted into one of our most prestigious universities had thelowest ERB scores in her class when she entered Dwight.
Another boy had athletic talent but little faith in his ability to be a scholastic success. That he could pass his subjects while feeling extreme frustration makes him as heroic in my eyes as his dramatic exploits and accomplishments on the playing field. Finally, it was the complete shock and the sense of elation on the face of our salutatorian when I told her she was second in class. Her sense of disbelief, humility, and appreciation gave me particular satisfaction.
Shakespeare said “All the world’s a stage,’’ and stagecraft at Dwight has a long and distinguished history. Several graduates, including Robin Morse and Nikki Goulet, have made it to Broadway. Keith Raywood is a leading set designer for Joseph Papp and Saturday Night Live. Yet to see our youthful dramatic zealots perform in Guys and Dolls, The Prisoner of Second Avenue and Snoopy was to experience a unique brand of raw prescient enthusiasm that comes fromcarefully-rehearsed and skillfully-designed productions. Drama has helped create a bond at school that is the mortar of greatinstitutions.
Drama needs diction, projection, and poise, as does Model United Nations and debating. The upperclassmen distinguished themselves at Hastings and Plainview, but a special commendation must be made to those lads who helped train the underclassmen for their first Junior Model United Nations tournament. A new tradition has been started through their efforts.
It has been my hope that every student at Dwight might find a path that would unfold his or her unique capacities. Everyone has the spark of genius within him. Many of you have made a good start, others are thinking about their road, while for some it is still only a distant glimmer. These are a few examples of wonderful talents that have emerged this year: A junior artist was selected to exhibit his art work in a professional art gallery. The yearbook saw the merging and pooling of two diverse talents. The art editor created a book worthy of a seasoned advertising art director, while the Senior editor marshalled the materials for a two-hundred and forty page magnumopus, the largest in Dwight’s one-hundred and five year history.
A sophomore girl, with an angels voice, performed for three weeks at the Kennedy Center in Washington. A ninth grade ballerina won a major scholarship as she seeks to become a prima ballerina of national stature. Another ninth grader defeatedthe top-ranked sixteen-year-old boy tennis player in the East.
One boy has organized his own shoe sales corporation. He has employed Dwight students as his sales force and is on his way to a profitable first year. A senior girl has set her sights on making the U.S. Olympic Volleyball team.
The life of an equestrian requires patient dedication and careful development. A sophomore has trained in Germany and is a Junior riding champion. She is well on her way to an Olympic team berth. Finally, it was with great pride that we watched a freshman perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Cyrano de Bergerac.
Mention must be made of the resurrection of an old Dwight tradition. Historically we always sent several students to the military academies. This year a senior boy, who also happened to be a junior national sailing champion, has elected to accept an appointment to the United States Naval Academy.
Dwight, among all the schools in the city, was selected to host distinguished past and present Horatio Alger Winners. A Dwight Senior was awarded a major scholarship because he represented the ethics and ideals espoused by Horatio Alger.
Two sophomore girls spent a month over spring break studying in Oxford, England. They returned with a new love of learning and a keen sense of adventure. Those girls will never by ordinary because their adventurous, probing minds will now always want to discover new frontiers.
These recollections only begin to scratch the surface of the accomplishments of Dwightonians. Let me go on record by saying that in part the inspiration for these accomplishments came from three sources: first, a teaching staff that has sought to find the best in each student, that would rather elevate than tear down; second, a senior class that has beenan example to the other students, and finally, to all the students who have shown the heart to try.
I am proud of all the Dwight men and women who have aspired to think creatively, feel nobly, take risks, and act honorably.This is a special year that will long be rememebered.

Memo to: Jonathan Blyth and the Class of ’85 From: Myrna, Jeffrey & Graham Blyth Subject: Four years at Dwight
Since you entered The Dwight School as a freshman, you and most of your classmates have attended school for 640 days (more or less).
Dinner table conversation has led us to believe that 174 of these days were terrible. (“W hat a R O T T E N day” )
At least 267 days were fair to tolerable (“ W hat a rotten day” ) days that were good, great, wonderful, terrific, memorable.
Not a bad record! But on all days, bad, good, or perfect you have done a wonderful job. (And the best is yet to come!)
Good luck, good wishes, good God, it’s over.Congratulations!

THE STORY OF THE MAP
The map which is at the front and back of the 1985 Dwight School Yearbook is unusual in that it was created not by conventional map-making techniques, but a new system: isometrics. Isometric mapping is a method of representing an area by equidistant projection - or to be more precise, axonometric projection of all three dimensions on the same scale.
The result is a map with buildings each drawn in proper position and detail.At first glance it has the effect of an aerial panorama. In fact, each building on the map is the same
theoretical difference as every other one, the vanishing point being infinity.Isometric mapping, by avoiding the distortions inherent in photography, offers a more clearly defined
view of the city than can be obtained by usual mapping methods.Keeping the isometric map up to date is a problem in a city where new buildings are completed almost
every week. Each building must be drawn individually.The result, however, is a map different from any other.The original artwork was drawn by Constantine Anderson who started in 1961 and was continuously
updated until 1981.In addition to the accurately proportioned buildings, the map also includes subway stations, bus shelters,
telephone booths, building canopies, trees and even potted street planters.For a while because of the complexities the map was out of print.Now it is available again - and is on sale at most map stores and book shops in the mid-town area
of Manhattan.
