TE BAND WAGOH It all started back in 1944 when sixty-five fresh faces (fresh in more ways than one) entered Arts High. For the most part, they understood; but for certain pure and simple minds, it was a different story. They were the credulous individuals who bought elevator tickets, hall passes, and even bath- ing lockers; now four years later they are selling them to the new generation of freshmen. Time may have led some minds toward further maturity, but the rest of the gay, frolicking lot of us are still play- ing practical jokes. High school would not be high school without these jokes and the personalities who perpetrate them. As time passed our class became sociable, took interest in school activities, and even ran a dance where neither boy nor girl was able to dance. But we loved it just the same. As the days turned to months and the months to years, we became less afraid. We began to hold up our heads in the halls. School became such a pleas- ure for most of us that we would never miss it— Never ?—well, hardly ever! Nor would we ever get marks below the highest calibre. We went to basket- ball games always hoping and wishing for a victory, but—we loved it just the same. And we had our annual Christmas Fairs and Three-Act Plays, which were always a tremendous success. Now we are grown up; we are the commanders of the halls; the entire school, freshmen, sophs and juniors, look up to us! Let us watch our Circus. The Big Top is ready for the performance and the trumpeter has sounded the call which has brought the band into the tent to give its concert before the show. Who should be among its ranks but Bill Hayes beating away on the drums, and Jean Bert] tooting her clarinet! And there go Ethel Davis and Eleanor Minnick, our songbirds. The gates are opened for the people to enter the Menagerie and among the spectators, we see Sheila MacNulty and Jennie Ciampi feeding the animals. The show is about to start, and seated in the grandstand all excited and eager are Marie Cesaro, Eddie Envall and Jeannette Perry. A whistle blows and Mr. Lowry, the Ringmaster, gives the signal for the show to start; and now comes the Grand Entry. On prancing horses and in breath-taking cos- tumes are Norma Norcia, Teddy Richlan, Delores Lucarello and Marilyn Kessler. Rose Berkowitz, Rosalie Ciccone and Lorraine Rutherford are in those very exotic oriental Howdahs on top of beau- tifully-caparisoned elephants. “They fly through the air with the greatest of ease.’ Who? Why, our acrobats, Flo Kuebler and Ferdinand Chinn. And our capricious clowns, Dom- inick Manghisi, Albert Bisch, and Robert Himmel, add the finishing touches to the general gaiety. And these are the graduates of the class of Janu- ary 1948—some of the finest troupers that Arts has had. Long after graduation we will look back and think what an enjoyable circus it was. And we shall come back to see future freshmen and sophs enjoy- ing even greater advantages than we had, [29]
