: : I was wondering who remembers the wonderful Mr. Newton, the 7th grade Glee Club teacher who "prepped" us for Miss Olanoff? He was a great pianist, a genuinely nice guy, with impeccable musical taste. I remember being up on the bleachers in the auditorium with Leslie Kugler, Keith Epstein, and a whole bunch of others, being oh so grateful that Mr. Newton's jazzy piano back-up made us all sound so much better.
::::I remember "The Fig". I drove him crazy i'm sure.he was always very kind to me and never stopped me from singing very loudly. Maybe he should have:} But.....Miss Olanoff will always be remembered as "The Deal"
