THE JUNIOR CLASS OF NURNBERG AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL

PRESENTS

MONDAY, MARCH 11, 1963

KALB COMMUNITY THEATER

THE EPITOME The word “epitome,” in itself, means a

condensed account or summary; a condensed representa-

tive of the whole. This, however, is a dictionary defini-

tion, so we shall proceed to elaborate upon it.

We, the Junior High Newspaper Club, are presenting

to you, the Junior High populace, a condensed account of

our portion of Nurnberg High. This name, THE EPITO-

ME, gives our paper an intellectual air, as well as explain-

ing our goals. … We, THE EPITOMISTS of Nurnberg

Junior High, hope that the paper, in your eyes, lives up to

its profound name.

THE WINNER Yes, the title for the junior high news-

paper has been selected! Thanks to your excellent partici-

pation and your many entries (86), our newspaper staff

was able to make the final decision. … Because it would

be difficult to divide the prize into 86 parts, and because

we are all strong believers in giving credit where credit is

due, we have decided to do the only fair thing: split the

prize between Harry Lemonte, who first gave us the inspi-

ration to look up the word “epitome” in the dictionary,

which in turn led us to the final product, and ourselves.

So Harry shall receive a giant size tube of Crest, the only

toothpaste with fluoristan , and the staff a week’s supply

of all-day suckers.

SEEN AND HEARD

Mr. Karidas plays marbles … and wins … and keeps them.

Jim Davis (4’6”) to Robert Jones (5’8”): “I’m gonna cut you down do low you’ll have to look up to look down.”

Mr Henderson to 6th per iod class at the door be-fore a very big test: “As the spider said to the fly, ‘come on in!’”

Miss Gulick to Algebra class: “Now boys and girls, you daren’t tell a lie. Remember an equation must tell the truth.”

Gerald G.: “I wish Mrs. Carney would make up her mind.”

Martin H.: “What do you mean?” Gerald G.: “Well, yesterday she told us 3 and 1 made

4 ,and today she says it’s 2 and 2.

This poem was found in the waste paper basket of the German-American Club.

Das Tea Party

Das Tea ben arriven mit taxen geloaden Und Bostoner folkers ben soon exploden! Mit Painten der Faces das angrisher Groupen Ben Machen der Tea in der Harber fur dumpen, Mitouten ein douten der Tea ist ben wasten, Mit coldisher wasser und saltisher tasten.

DANCE ON ST. PAT’S NIGHT

Excitement hung in the air as Janice Smith, Kathleen Buttke, Terry McHargue, Bea Manno, Anita Hutton, Page Waller, and Miss Youngman made preparation for the Saint Patrick’s Day Dance scheduled for 7:30 that evening. It was about 4:00 when they had begun moving chairs and tables for the festivities of the even-ing. All went well, even though there was some contro-versy as to wheter the chairs looked better in a circle or a square. At 4:30 all was ready and Miss Youngman went home assured that there would not be too much confusion and that no one would get in before 7:30. Seven-thirty rolled around and eager students filed through the cafeteria doors. Almost immediately, feet began tapping and everyone felt they could not sit still. Why? Page Waller was playing the records, naturally. However, even junior high students are bound to be a little bashful and if it had not been for Miss Youngman’s warning that if the boys and girls did not dance together the party would be broken up and Saint Patrick might be disappointed in Nurnberg Junior High. Nevertheless, once the party got warmed up it really got hot. Kids drifted in and out and there were about 60 people pre-sent, give or take a few. Page put on Chubby Checker’s “Limbo Rock” and what was the first thing to come to everyone’s mind? Let’s limbo, of course. Only boys went under. I guess the girls were too shy, or their skirts were too tight to

Continued on next page

FRANKFURT (AP) – President Kennedy, in a blunt rebuttal to French President Charles de

Gaulle’s concept of an independent Europe, said Tuesday those who would split allies “give aid

and comfort” to enemies of the West.

“The United States,” Mr. Kennedy promised, “will risk its cities to defend yours because we

need your freedom to protect ours . . . Those who would doubt our pledge or deny this indivisibil-ity – those who would separate Europe from America or split one ally from another – would only give aid and comfort to the men who make themselves our adversaries and welcome any Western

disarray.”

St. Pat’s Dance (continued from previous page) to permit such gymnastics. Don Gangway and Ken Stamp had a fight to the finish under the limbo stick. Ken finally winning at about three and a half feet. Suddenly everyone was crowded around Miss Young-man and Mr. Wannebo. A hush came over the room, a number was called, papers rattled, and another shout. What was this all about? The door prizes were given out. The fortunate young students, Pat Trout and Jeff Farnum, each won a bag of candy. Mr. Wannebo announced the four dance contests. Ron Whittaker and Cleo Dye really warmed up the floor and won the fast dance contest. Ronald Jones and Jackie Jetton took the fir st twist contest and Deborah Peter-son with Gloria Henderson won the second. The slow dance prize was taken away by James Adkisson and Janet Smith. At 9:30 everyone went home after an evening to re-member. June 5, 1963

CLUB NEWS The Epitome staff visited the many clubs in our junior high and brought back from several a summary of this year’s highlights.

The DRAMA CLUB has been working on two plays since their Christmas presentation last December. Their last play, which was presented to the entire junior, was entitled “What’s Cooking?” The star players were Linda Nerby, Gloria Brooks, Jeanne Taylor, Kathy Jones, Kim Whitney, Rick Engelhardt, Bill Weinschenker, Archie Perez, and Ron Jones.

The GERMAN-AMERICAN CLUB has made many interesting field trips this year. Before Christmas the club went to the Christkindlesmarkt. They have also visited St. Lorenz Kirche, St. Sebald Kirche, the Rathaus, a torture chamber, and the Traffic Museum.

When the club was asked what they wanted to do, they said, “Learn more about Germany.” Their president is Jim Estep and their advisor is Frau Wetzstein.

The SCIENCE CLUB is a club for studying the sci-ences. This year they conducted experiments in chemis-try, vibrations, and cell life. They also planned a visit to the zoo for a field trip. As you know, the zoo in Nurnberg is one of the finest zoos in Europe.

Also, to help study the sciences, they saw many movies and film strips. The sponsor of this club is Mr. Karikas and the president is Phillip Ciampi.

There is a NEWSPAPER CLUB too! And what you are reading now is living proof of what they have done! LONG LIVE THE EPITOME! ! !

VACATION WHATS

The Junior High Newspaper Club has trav-

eled around and collected some summer vacation

fun. Newspaper reporters have gone to all home-

because somebody walked across my lawn.

John Scholz: I’m going to the swimming

pool to see pretty girls and drown. Opps! I mean

swim.

Norman Wilhoite: He plans to go to Italy.

Kathie Jones also plans a tr ip to Italy.

Kim Whitney has many ideas. She wants to
