support
Spring is quite a busy
time at A&F with the
2013 reunion and
nomination process for
year-end awards. It’s also
bittersweet—many of
the students I’ve gotten
to know will be graduating and leaving for college. They’re also sad to leave, they tell me; but
they will soon come to know that the connection
to the school and its community will live on. In
fact, at this year’s reunion, there will be quite a
large number of alums who are coming back for
their 65th and 70th reunions!
I am privileged to be located at the school where
I have the opportunity both to build relationships
with students and to see where help is needed,
both individually and throughout the school. Your
generosity enables A&F to provide financial and
in-kind support across all studio departments and
to so many students. Just recently, for example, I
walked into the Little Flower Theatre and noticed
that the carpet was not only unsightly, it was
unsafe. Through the generosity of ABC Carpet,
we can now fix this. In addition, A&F will soon
be giving out 235 awards totaling over $130,000.
These awards come from A&F’s scholarship endowment and the nearly 150 named funds established by our generous donors. These awards are
based on both need and merit and the students’
reactions to receiving this support are priceless.
The donors of these named funds receive thank
you notes from the students along with samples
of their work, so they too get to see how important their funding is to the students.

I also get to walk around the school and experience, first-hand, how gifted our students are.
Today, I walked around the building and heard
the senior chorus and orchestra rehearsing for
the concerto concert, saw the drama students
rehearsing for Our Town and Cabaret, and
watched the dance students rehearsing for
their graduation dance concert, other students
auditioning for the gala honoring Ben Vereen,
and students editing the videotape they shot
from Rising Stars. Then, on the seventh floor,
I admired all the new art work on display. The
talent and energy here never ceases to amaze
me! Come see for yourself, either by attending
a performance or coming for a tour. There are
quite a few shows coming up including:
• Cabaret – May 2–5
• Show Choir Concert – May 3
• A Tribute to Ben Vereen – May 20
• Graduation Dance Concert – May 31 & June 1
• Symphony Orchestra & Chorus Concert –

ReUNION 2013
Reunion 2013
For Classes Who Graduated in Years Ending in 3 and 8
A&F has been working to make reunion weekends accessible and attractive for all graduates.
The 2013 Reunion will be held on Saturday, June 8th. We have very enthusiastic classes this year
and are expecting alumni who will be celebrating their 5th to 70th reunions!
We have an exciting line-up this year:
• The reunion for Music & Art alumni will be held at the “Castle” on 135th Street
• The reunion for LaGuardia alumni will be held at the 65th Street school
• SPAA, the School of Performing Arts Alumni Association, is planning its own reunion
The M&A reunion will begin at 1 pm in the auditorium. There will be a tour of the school starting
at 1:30 pm and then cocktails on the Terrace at 3:15 pm. Dinner will be served in the cafeteria
from 4:45 – 6:15 pm (the food will be much better than the school’s menu!), and then buses will
depart at 6:30 pm to get everyone to the 65th Street school in time for the Semi-Annual Concert.
LaGuardia alumni will meet at their school on 65th Street. The program is the same except for
cocktails— because there are students in school setting up for the Semi-Annual Concert, no
alcohol is allowed. Also, dinner will begin at 5:30 pm as no travel is required to the Semi-Annual.
Classes will have Friday night and Sunday for their own activities—a preference voiced by alumni
at the last two reunions. Many classes are planning special activities around the reunion; you
can contact your class leader for more information. Those classes with leaders have a much
better time at the reunion. The following classes do not yet have leaders: 1973, 1978, 1983, 1993
and 1998. If you are a member of one of these classes and would like to become a leader, please
call the A&F office. We can work with you to help organize your class.
So start organizing those old photos and plan to attend the Semi-Annual Symphony & Chorus
Concert, which will feature works by Bernstein and Mozart.
For information on tickets, hotels and menus go to: https://alumniandfriends.org/news/reunion2013. A list of your classmates who have signed up for the reunion (updated weekly on Fridays),
along with contact information for class leaders, is also on our website at: https://alumniandfriends.org/news/see-who-coming-your-class.

EVENTS
Forty Years of Jazz Fame
On January 28th, 2013, more than 30 world-class
jazz musicians gathered together to honor one
very special educator who touched all their lives
as a mentor, teacher and friend. In the early ’70s,
Justin DiCioccio developed a formal training
program for jazz at Music & Art because
he believed that learning how to improvise
requires a level of sensitivity and communication that enables students to become
better human beings. This became the first
secondary-school jazz curriculum in the U.S.
The program featured many genres of jazz,
including big band, Latin, Afro-Cuban, Dixieland and blues. Many of the musicians hadn’t
played together for nearly 40 years and the
evening was as outstanding for them as it was
for the 900 people in attendance, many of
whom referred to the concert as “special and
intimate.” All juniors and seniors currently in
jazz bands received free seats so that they
could experience, firsthand, the legacy of their
predecessors. You can see the half-page article
on the concert in The New York Times, written
by alum Ralph Blumenthal, at: http://cityroom.
blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/29/a-jazz-reunionat-the-fame-school/.
The legacy of jazz at Music & Art goes back
to the school’s beginning with such notable
alumni as Shorty Rogers (M&A ’42), Bernie
Glow (M&A ’42), Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson
(M&A ’49), Peter Nero (M&A ’51), Fred Lipsius
(M&A ’61) Jimmy Owens (M&A ’61) and Billy
Cobham (M&A ’62). In 1969, Yusef Lateef
and Donald Byrd each spent a full semester
teaching jazz students.
A&F is grateful to Gerstein Fisher, Viacom,
Ernst & Young Insurance Practice, Dasani and
alumna Mady Chalk for their sponsorship of
the concert. We are also grateful to our musical
director, Arturo O’Farrill, and the fabulous
musicians who played, including:

by Matt Shelosky
A&F has been tracking new developments on Facebook where M&A, PA and LaGuardia alums
have been creating pages so they can congregate, interact and post memories of their high
school years.
NEWS
Alumni & Friends of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts
A&F posts information on its page about upcoming events, reunions and news items featuring
alums of LaGuardia and its predecessor schools, Music & Art and Performing Arts. Class
members are sharing wonderful stories and photos on group pages for M&A graduates as well as
in specific groups for the classes of ’61, ’69, ’75, ’81, ’84 and ’86. There are also separate pages for
M&A, PA and LaGuardia. If your class has a page that we might not know about, please contact
us. We’d love to “like” you too.
To keep in touch with A&F and your fellow classmates, search for “Alumni and Friends of
LaGuardia High School” on Facebook and look for the La! logo. We’re looking forward to
connecting with more of our alumni and sharing great memories and information about what
your fellow alums are up to… so please, “like” us!
A Walk Down Memory Lane (for M&A Alumni)
I was up at the “Castle” making arrangements for the reunion and had my camera with me.
I thought our M&A alumni would enjoy these.

LaGuardia NEWS
Did You Know?
By Gabriel Kosakoff
• In 1936, Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia established the High School of Music & Art. This
was one of his pet projects during his tenure
at City Hall. The mayor was very paternal
about M&A and referred to it as “my baby.”
He considered the High School of Music &
Art to be the “most hopeful accomplishment” of his administration.
• Mayor LaGuardia was a frequent visitor to
Music & Art, often bringing gifts with him.
One of the more memorable presents was
a bronze statue of the world-renowned
conductor Arturo Toscanini by the Italian
sculptor Onorio Ruotolo, who was a friend
of the mayor. The statue was displayed on
a pedestal in the main lobby of the school.
It quickly became a very popular meeting
place for students who would make dates
by saying “I’ll meet you at ‘Toscanini.’” The
sculpture is now located in the back lobby of
LaGuardia outside of the Concert Hall.
• Lydia Joel, former Chairperson of the Dance
Department at the School of Performing Arts,
was also the Editor-in-Chief of Dance Magazine.
• In 1947, the School of Performing Arts was
established under the supervision of Dr.
Franklin J. Keller in a 1894 school building in
the Times Square area on West 46th Street.
The Arts featured in the curriculum were
Dance, Drama, Instrumental Music and, for
a short time, Photography.
• When the 1980 movie Fame was filmed
(about the H.S. of Performing Arts), the
Board of Education refused to give permission to the film’s producers to use the PA
building. Because of this, the outside scenes
were filmed in front of a closed church
located across the street from the PA building
and the indoor scenes at Haaron H.S. on 10th
Avenue and 49th Street, which is now part
of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Several classrooms were altered to resemble
the interior of the Performing Arts building.
M&A ’69 Exhibition
Marla Lipkin, a very accomplished and prolific artist in her own right, is offering her classmates
from M&A 1969 an opportunity to show their art work and play music at a group show in
