A vote on the construction of the new high school was to be held shortly after Hallowe'en (when goodwill towards young people would be LOW). Brilliant lights in our student government conceived a plan to "soap" Baker Street windows with a "Vote Yes" message. We slipped notes in all letter slots to assure business owners that we would return in the morning to clean the windows. The Daily News covered the activity. The referendum passed. Of course, we didn't get to use the new school but we left a legacy.
