Textbook Buying Under Way: Student Mary Teska (far right) sells a book to Nancy Bell as Forsythe teacher Duane Black looks on. This was the scene today at Forsythe Junior High where the public schools are buying used textbooks because of a Supreme Court ruling that all textbooks must be provided free to all students. The sale will continue until 8 p.m. today at both Forsythe and Tappan Junior Highs, and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow.

All Paths Lead To School. Walking stone walls beats walking sidewalks, and the added height gives a better view of back-to-school finery. The seventh-grade twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Clark of 1515 Creal Crescent, Karen (in front) and Kim, aren't look-alikes and don't dress identically. Yet both agree that dropped waist dresses with pleated skirts are right for their action-packed moments at Forsythe Junior High School. Karen's cream-colored sweater blends with her wine-colored wool jumper which has a solid top and houndstooth checked skirt. Kim wears a wool flannel dress in white and grey with a camel self-belt - a color combination touted for fall.

'The Crucible' Rehearsing one of the chilling scenes from Arthur Miller's noted play, "The Crucible" are (from left) Evelyn Bergman, Barbara Burek, Laura Trippe and Jane Petring. The girls are in Miss Bette Ellis' ninth-grade drama class at Forsythe Junior High. This scene is the "flying" scene of the drama -- in which Miss Burek attempts to "fly" away to escape the problems created by her "sinful" activities in the Salem woods. The play tells the story of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 which led to the execution of innocent townsfolk. (For more information, see "Teen Tales")
