Carsten and Seth (from Carsten)

Carsten K. and Seth R. I think this is from the same playground equipment as the closeup of Heather B., on the side of the playing field.

"Put Your Hands Up" (from Carsten)

Ah, Siggy! Can any other photo make you think of Simon Says more quickly?

Grade 9 History Class (from Carsten)

Sara Jane, of course, along with David E., David S., and Mark F. in the background.

Closeup of Heather B. (from Carsten)

A closeup of Heather B. Was this on the playground equipment that eventually was replaced by portables between the playing field and the gym? Or is this on the side of the playing field between it and the road? After further reflection and responses, I think this is on the side of the south playing field, between the field and the road.

Grade 6: Is It Zorro? (from Carsten)

Grade 6 Show. Before my time! But the gym looks glorious. Is that young Carsten K. with the cape and sword? Carsten responds: "That Grade 6 show pic is the oldest I have from Israel. It was some kind of midday event, the whole school was in the gym to see it. Square dancing - I refused to be part of the dancing, so I got to be the outlaw. I was a Zorro character who runs in and grabs Afsaneh, her back to the camera. I think you can see Matt S., Smadar K., Edward B. and Mike Z. in the background in costume... maybe. Old pic fading I suppose. Anyway, Seth winds up being the hero and shooting me dead, saving the day. I remember a bunch of younger kids came up to me afterwards. They were disappointed that I didn't get away with the girl."

Grade 8: The Dance 4 (from Carsten)

That's Darla G. on the left, I think, but I'm not sure who she's dancing with. Looks like Mark F. with the dark glasses. Mike Z. and Jenny J. also enter stage right. Or left. I can't remember. Carsten and Miko both respond: "That's Tommy O. with Darla G."

Grade 8: The Dance 3 (from Carsten)

Nicholas K., but who's he dancing with? And who are they both looking at? Carsten responds: "Nick with Heather [B.] I think." Miko responds: "Nicholas is dancing with Zuleika A." Still not sure what they're looking at, and not clear about who Nick's dancing with.

Grade 8: Craps, Anyone? (from Carsten)

David M. and Miko M. Is the tall guy next to David M. named Matthew S.? And who's next to him? Carsten responds: "Next to Matt is David S., and also in that shot Christine Z. the Flapper."

Grade 8: The Dance 2 (from Carsten)

Mike Z. and Jenny J. dancing, I believe. I'm not sure who's behind them.

Grade 8: The Dance (from Carsten)

I think that's Tom T. and Mary K. S. Carsten and Miko both respond: "Mary K. is dancing with Ronnie W., actually."

Grade 8: Singing Our Hearts Out (from Carsten)

Brett S. Ari F., among others. Were we ever really this young? Carsten responds: "In the 'lets all raise our arms' shot, you can see, I think it is Jennifer S. in the background in the burgundy dress. Jeez, we might have looked like we were really young, but she looked like she was 18."

Grade 8: Luck be a Lady (from Carsten)

Grade Eight Show. Carsten K. with "Luck Be a Lady," I believe, along with LeeAnn S., Brett S. Miko M., and a couple of other people I can't identify. Carsten responds: "My 'Luck Be a Lady' solo (not bad in pinstripes, if I so say so myself) shot also [includes] Michele D., the Italian fellow." Miko responds: "Carsten is singing next to me, Leanne S.n, Michele D., and Brian K. [kneeling]."

Gonenski (from Carsten)

Ran Gonen, who always played "soften de balls."

Grade 9 English Class (from Carsten)

Seth R., Billy D., and Tom T. I can't tell who the person is sitting in the teacher's desk, nor the person standing in the middle of the classroom. Any ideas? Carsten responds, "On the left, that was the lovely Dr. Ben Chaim and at the desk, I think that's David Springer."

Chilling in the Empty Room

Ahh, the student lounge - Afsaneh J., Stacie M., Adam K., me, and Sheila A. How cozy we look in the bare room.

One of Those Winter Balls

A photo that continues to embarrass me after all these years!

Sara Jane

The spitting mad Mrs. Sara Jane Shapiro. I think she's still at AIS.

Ninth Grade Biology, I Think

Mrs. Ingrid Messika, if you please. And that's Heather B. in the left side of the picture.

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen"

Dr. Ben Chaim, 9th grade English teacher. Remember those staging notebooks we created for Julius Caesar? I still have mine...

Is That Big Jule I See?

I think this was taken at David M.'s birthday party, possibly 8th grade. That's Seth R. in blue, David M. in red, Brian K. in white, and Adam K. with his back to the camera. I think Brett S. is behind David, and I think Carsten K. is looking out the window in the background.

The Canadian Connection

Carsten K.walking out the door of Mrs. Messika's classroom, and Darla G. looking back at the camera. I think that's David M. on the left side of the picture.

I'm Sure We Came Up with a Catchy Yearbook Caption

Miko M., Kristen C., Stacie M., and Clinton C.
