INT.-KAKIAT JUNIOR HIGH GYMNASIUM-DAY. CUT TO: In the fall of 1967 Mrs. Renee’ Torbin joined the Physical Education staff at Kakiat Junior High. Renee’ was separated from her husband at the time. Renee’ was a pretty looking, 5. large chested female, and she got the attention of all the male teachers. She made it a habit to wear tight sweaters to attract the male teacher’s attention. The scene oPhysical Educationns with Renee’ Torbin standing in the Women’s Physical Education Offices with Gerald Levitus, Physical Education ChairPhysical Educationrson. Gerald Levitus approaches Renee’ from the Men’s Physical Education Offices across the floor of the gym from the Women’s office. DISSOLVE TO: RENEE’ TORBIN (25) GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER.

Welcome to Kakiat Junior High. I am sure you will enjoy teaching here. RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. I am looking forward to it. I have already met Naomi Newman, and she seems like a nice Physical Educationrson. GERALD LEVITUS Yes, Naomi student taught here when she was a Senior at New York University. She did such a good job that Mr Chisamore offered her a job here. You and her, are both new full time female Physical Education teachers. We have another veteran Physical Education, who has taught for over 30 years, and her name is Sarah. You will meet her later, I am sure. Let me know if you need anything or have any questions. I am here to help you through your first year. (MORE) 6. RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Thank you Gerry. I was told you would give me the keys to the girls PHYSICAL EDUCATION office, and general keys to the locker-room. GERALD LEVITUS Yes, I have your keys on my desk. You will need to buy a PHYSICAL EDUCATION instructor whistle like an acme thunderer whistle. The men wear a uniform of grey pants with a white striPhysical Education, and a Kakiat logo golf shirt. The woman have no sPhysical Educationcific uniform, but sneakers are mandatory to avoid scuffing the floor in the gym. I would suggest buying a matching sweat pants and jacket outfit and buy a Kakiat Junior High t-shirt for under the jacket. We will have a PHYSICAL EDUCATION staff meeting soon to lay out all the rules in the department. Enjoy your day. RENEE’ TORBIN Thank you Gerry. Later that morning Renee’ meets Naomi Newman. NAOMI NEWMAN (23) GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Hello again. You must be Mrs. Torbin. We met at the faculty conference. Welcome to Kakiat Junior High. Both of us are the new full time girls Physical Education teachers. The school has expanded by several hundred students and the department for Girls has gone from two girls Physical Education teachers to three. The men’s department has three PHYSICAL EDUCATION teachers also including Gerry Levitus the Department chair. He inherited the position when Paul Spolini, who was chair before, left for a position at Spring Valley Senior High. NAOMI NEWMAN (23) GIRLS PHYSICAL (MORE) 7. We will get our schedules sometime today, and you and I can coordinate what classes we team teach together. I was a student teacher last year, so I know the system here. I will show you how we run the girls PHYSICAL EDUCATION classes. We are separate from the boys PHYSICAL EDUCATION program. They hand out soap, and towels for the boys to shower after PHYSICAL EDUCATION class. We do not do that for girls. We do however, hand out locks, and assign lockers so we know who has what locker. Our master key will oPhysical Educationn all the locks on the lockers in case of an emergency of if a student forgets their combination, which is all the time. Ha. RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Thank you Naomi. What should I wear in class? NAOMI NEWMAN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. We wear sweat pants of shorts in class with a sweat shirt, Sneakers and socks. The girls are required to buy a PHYSICAL EDUCATION one piece uniform in the school bookstore. The boys have to buy the green Kakiat Junior High shorts, and the white Kakiat Junior High Physical Education logo shirt with socks and mandatory sneakers for safety. If a girl is not dressed for class she gets a F grade for the day. If she has a medical from the nurse of a parent, she gets a M grade for medical for the day. If a girls gets three F grades, she fails the quarter. Before they fail Physical Education, you or I have to inform the parents on the interim Report that they are in danger of failing Physical Education with a grade of F for being unprepared for class. NAOMI NEWMAN, GIRLS PHYSICAL 8. We use these delany cards to take attendance and each class has a spiral bound page holder for all the delany cards. The grades and name are on the front of the card and the back is the attendance or medical records. RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. It sounds pretty complicated. NAOMI NEWMAN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. You will get use to it. Getting girls to change for Physical Education is a challenge. You have to motivate them and if you cannot motivate them call their parents to get their cooPhysical Educationration. FADE TO BLACK. INT.-RENEE’ TORBIN AND JOE HUGHES ROMANCE-DAY. CUT TO: Renee’ first met Joe Hughes, the Social Studies teacher, with long brown hair, and a handsome look in the Teacher Cafeteria. Renee’ was a bit shy, and often sat by herself in the Teacher Cafeteria since Naomi and the other PHYSICAL EDUCATION teachers were teaching that Physical Educationriod. Joe was hired the same year as Renee’ and was still new to Kakiat Junior high. Joe taught Social Studies for grades 7 and 8. The junior high girls all loved Joe because he was young and handsome. It didn’t take long for the faculty to call Joe the Social Studies stud. Renee’ was swept away with Joe’s blue eyes and muscular body. DISSOLVE TO: JOE HUGHES, (25) SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER. Hi, I am Joe. Do you mind if I join you for lunch? RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Sure. I am Renee’ the new Physical Education Teacher. What do you teach Joe? 9.

RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. I agree with you. The faculty doesn’t exly wrap their arms around new teachers. I hardly know anyone on the faculty except the Physical Education teachers. JOE HUGHES, SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER. I imagine we will adapt in time? Well I have to run. I am behind in my lesson plans already and they are due before pay day. HoPhysical Education to see you tomorrow. Take care. RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. You too. The next day. JOE HUGHES, SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER. Renee’ come sit over here. I bought some hotdogs with sauerkraut from the Jewish Deli in Hill Crest. Would you like one? I have extra hot dogs. FADE OUT. EXT.-THE KAKIAT JUNIOR HIGH HILL BEHIND THE BUILDING-DAY. CUT TO: Physical Education Mead, and Coach Bob Dilley are getting their boys PHYSICAL EDUCATION class ready to go outdoors, up the hill to the football field at 11:05am, Third Physical Education period of the day at Kakiat Junior High. Both men are over six feet tall, thin, and muscular. Bob Dilley and Pel Mead both have short cut dirty blonde hair, and clean shaven faces. Bob Dilley graduated from Ithaca College, and Pel Mead graduated from Springfield College, Mass. DISSOLVE TO: 10. PEL MEAD, PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER (25). OK, Bob the locker-room is cleared. You can take the attendance now. CUT TO: The boys staff took attendance for their students by assigning them positions on the gym floor. Letters for columns were painted on the floor and numbers painted on the side lines for each student from 1-20. Physical Education teachers were allowed 45 students Physical Education class by Union contract. The trend in the 1960’s and 1970’s was team teaching of Physical Education classes which meant double the amount of boy students in each class at 90 students for two teachers. If a student was absent a space was left on the floor where they would have been sitting. One teacher usually took the attendance and then lead in warm-up exercises starting with jumping jacks, then push-ups, sit-ups and hurdle stretches. After that the class went outside to run one lap around the Football field on top of the hill behind the gym. DISSOLVE TO: BOB DILLEY (25) BOYS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. All right line up on your floor spots. Anderson absent, Weiner absent….We are going out today so bring your coats with you. Coach Mead will lock the locker-room after you get your coats. We are going up on the Football field to play Flag Football. Move out. COACH PEL MEAD. I will take the class out the back door after I lock the locker-room. While walking up the hill to the Football field on top. PERRY GENOVESE (13) STUDENT. Hey Coach Mead, what are those teachers doing over there in the gutter on the hill?

Coach Pel Mead looks over to the right of the hill, and sees (MORE) 11. a male and female adults sitting on the edge of the hill gutter. At first he does not recognize them from fifty yards away. DISSOLVE TO: PERRY GENOVESE. It looks like Mr. Hughes, and Mrs. Torbin the new PHYSICAL EDUCATION teacher? What do you supposed they are doing in the middle of the day? PEL MEAD, PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. You got me Perry. Laughing. Gymnastics maybe? Meanwhile in the gutter on the hill. RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Damm, here comes the boys Physical Education class up the hill. Joe, we have to leave before they see us here. JOE HUGHES, SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER. I was just beginning to warm up Renee’. Do you think they can see us from the bottom of the hill? RENEE’ TORBIN, GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. They are coming up the hill stupid. They play on the Football field at the top of the hill. Get dressed and let’s get out of here before they see us hugging. CUT TO: Renee’ Torbin, and Joe Hughes get up, and walk down the hill fifty yards away from the boys PHYSICAL EDUCATION class coming up the hill. All eighty boys take notice of the two teachers walking down the hill and they become the talk of the school that week. DISSOLVE TO: PEL MEAD, PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Bob, Look over there. I think we have a budding romance going on in the middle of the day. PEL MEAD, PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. 12. That looks like Renee’ Torbin the PHYSICAL EDUCATION teacher, and Joe the Stud Hughes from Social studies. Shame on them. The word will get around the school like wildfire. BOB DILLEY, PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. I think it is pretty funny really. Imagine making out in the middle of the school day of the school hill? That takes balls. Ha.. FADE TO BLACK. EXT.-THE VW CAMPER IN THE FACULTY PARKING LOT-DAY. CUT TO: Herb Rosensweig was the Department chair for Fine Arts, and his classroom was on the first floor of Kakiat Junior High facing the faculty parking lot. Herb was a real character, with a huge handlebar mustache dominating his face. He was the mole for the administration telling them everything he heard from the Union and the gossip in the school. One day when he was looking out his windows he noticed a VW camPhysical Educationr in the faculty parking lot bouncing up and down. That caught his attention and he waited for the Physical Educationople inside to come out. HERB ROSENSWEIG, (40) FINE ARTS CHAIRPHYSICAL EDUCATIONRSON. What is going on in the VW camper out in the faculty parking lot? I can see it is bouncing up and down as if someone is inside jumping up and down. I wonder who is in the VW camper. CUT TO: Fifteen minutes later Joe Hughes gets out of the VW camper with a pretty 9th grade female student named Sally Moreson, with a short, and short mini-skirt. Herb Rosensweig is watching all the time. He can’t wait to tell the Principal that Joe Hughes is fooling around with a 9th grade female student. DISSOLVE TO: 13. HERB ROSENSWEIG, FINE ARTS DEPT. CHAIR. Holy Shit. It is Joe Hughes in the VW camper with a female student. Wow, look how short her mini skirt is? I have to tell Mr. Chisamore about this incident. Joe is probably banding all the good looking female students at Kakiat Junior high. DISSOLVE TO: FADE TO BLACK. EXT.-BOB DILLEY, CHRONIC LATENESS-DAY. CUT TO: Bob Dilley was a Physical Education Teacher and Football Coach that worked at Kakiat for three years 1967 to 1970. He lived in Ossining across the Tappan Zee bridge, and had a drinking problem which caused him to be late more than 40 times in one year. The funny thing is Bob used the same excuse all the time about breaking a fan belt on the Tappan Zee bridge. DISSOLVE TO: BOB DILLEY, PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Hello, Mrs. Marino, this is Mr. Dilley. I broke down on the Tappan Zee bridge this morning. Please tell Mr. Levitus I will be late and to have someone in the PHYSICAL EDUCATION department cover for me. Thank you very much. MRS. HELEN MARINO, PRINCIPAL’S SECRETARY. Hello, Mr. Dilley. I will tell Mr. Levitus you will be late to your first Physical Education class. See you soon. Later on the school intercom. (MORE) 14. MRS. HELEN MARINO, PRINCIPAL’S SECRETARY. (CONT’D) Hello, Mr. Levitus, Mr. Dilley just called and he will be late to his first Physical Education class. Please have someone cover for him. GERALD LEVITUS, PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT CHAIR. OK, thanks Helen. I will have Mr. Mead cover his class as always. Have a good day. FADE OUT. MINI-SKIRTS, A SEA OF THIGHS. INT.-THE TEACHER CAFETERIA-DAY. CUT TO: In the teacher Cafeteria, Science teacher Rick Knapp is telling Social Studies teacher, John Carucci about his first experience teaching Science with a class full of girls wearing mini-skirts that show everything from the front of the classroom. DISSOLVE TO: RICK KNAPP, SCIENCE TEACHER. You know John, I still remember when I first began teaching Science at Kakiat Junior high. JOHN CARUCCI, SOCIAL STUDIES. Really? Why is that? RICK KNAPP, SCIENCE TEACHER Well, I wasn’t ready for the lack of modesty in Junior high girls. As I stood in front of my class for the first time all I could see was thighs. It was a black and white sea of girls legs in mini-dresses which covered nothing. No wonder the boys were having control problems. I had to look down at the floor until I got used to the nakedness. Some girls had little white panties and some pink, and some no underwear at all. RICK KNAPP, SCIENCE TEACHER (CONT’D) 15. It took me a long time to get used to the mini-skirts. JOHN CARUCCI, SOCIAL STUDIES. That is funny. I felt the same thing. I used to focus on the boys in the class, so the mini-skirts didn’t disturb me. I felt that the teen girls want to be liked by boys, and were willing to show a little leg or unbutton their blouses to reveal their features. It is a sexual jungle out there. Ha. RICK KNAPP, SCIENCE TEACHER You cannot tell this to the female teachers on the staff because they are blind to the mini-skirts, and to them a sea of thighs is no big deal. After all, some of the younger teachers wear short skirts too. They never prepared me for this in Syracuse University where I went to school. JOHN CARUCCI, SOCIAL STUDIES. Yeah, my wife would never believe the stories I have teaching as a male adult in front of a class of mini-skirts on teenage girls that have no clue of their sexuality. I can see why they are sending mixed signals to any male within range. These are strange times Rick. RICK KNAPP, SCIENCE TEACHER I agree. I feel more comfortable teaching from the back of the class instead of the front of the class where I am looking at girls legs barely covered by mini-skirts. FADE TO BLACK. TEACHER JEALOUSY. 16. INT.-SECOND FLOOR OF KAKIAT JUNIOR HIGH EXTENSION-DAY. CUT TO: Early on in the early 1970’s, English Teacher Sheldon Katz had an affair with English teacher Ann Davis.

Sheldon was never aware that Ann was two timing him until the shit hit the fan when a jealous Special Education female teacher called the Director of Special Education and told him Doug Rich was violating School policy and letting his Assistant teach the whole Special education class.

Doug Rich is a young handsome, thin and athletic male teacher. Ann Davis is a petite blond English teacher who is only five feet two inches tall. Sheldon Katz is ten years older than Ann and has been teaching English for over ten years. Sheldon has dark black hair and a clean shaven face. DISSOLVE TO: FADE IN: DOUG RICH, (25) SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER. Hi Ann, how are you doing today? ANN DAVIS (24) ENGLISH TEACHER. I am fine Doug. Thanks for dinner last night. DOUG RICH, SPECIAL EDUCATION. It was my pleasure. Why don’t we have lunch together with take-out Chinese this Friday during our lunch period? ANN DAVIS, ENGLISH TEACHER. That sounds great Doug. We can order out together and eat lunch in your car so as not to draw any attention to us in the teacher lounge or cafe. DOUG RICH, SPECIAL EDUCATION. Sounds like a plan. See you Friday in the faculty parking lot.

HAROLD SWARTZ, DISTRICT DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION. No, I am here confidentially to observe Mr. Rich. I will talk with Mr. Pollak after my observation. MRS. HELEN MARINO, PRINCIPAL’S SECRETARY. As you wish Dr. Swartz. Mr. Rich’s classroom is on the second floor, room 226. Would you like me have a security guard show you where the classroom is? DR. HAROLD SWARTZ, DISTRICT DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION. No, I am fine. I have been here before many times. I want to surprise Mr. Rich.
