Senior Class History A PERFECT SENIOR HE stood on a crowded platform sur- rounded by other graduates, dressed in black and white. HE arose and the vast audience awaited breathless. Words flowed from HIS tongue with ease, and HE held his audience spellbound. There was a roar of enthusiastic applause at the end of HIS valedictory address. One man after another rose and congratulated him on HIS wonderful speech. Awards were given to HIM. And even a scholar- ship was presented to HIM for HE was the school's model student, best athlete, and handsomest boy, Girls flocked around HIM, all clamoring for HIM to take them home. W'herever HE went, a crowd of the school's lovliest girls followed him. HE was the perfect senior, but-oh, sorrow of sorrows, just at that moment, HIS alarm clock rang, and he remembered he had not done HIS history homework. Do you remember when you were a Ereshie, ' And first came to Atlantic Highlands? The Sophs who sent you to the fourth floor in search of lockers? The traffic system installed by some- one for confusion purposes? The bewilderment everywhere? Life beginning at 82O? Some grand sunsets? Yes, I remember and I recall, How I fearfully stole through this very strange hall. Finally the Freshman class was passed, For an attack on the Sophomore We were massed. Do you remember when you were a Soph, Our Sophomore Hop? The staying out late for football prace tice? The watching of the game from the bench? The fun we all had at the games? The opening of the baseball season in the spring? Yes, I remember and I recall, How I gallantly strolled through this not so strange hall. We spent that year in a state harassed, Then for roles as luniors we were cast. Do you remember when you were a Iunior, loining as many clubs as possible? Decorating for our Iunior Senior Prom? The Spring Round Up and Danger- ous Dan McGrew? The Iunior Trip to New York and Howdy Mr. Ice ? The excitement of electing class of- ficers? Yes, I remember and I recall How I roamed through the well-known hall But when that year was in the past, The flag of Seniors was at our mast. Do you remember when you were a Senior? That surprising grown-up feeling? Junior Senior Prom with your best gal? Selling candy bars? The Magazine Campaign? Our Washington Trip? Some grand teachers and swell friends? Burning the midnight oil? Class night and finally that diploma? Yes, I remember and I recall, How I proudly walked through the grand old hall. Alas! that year went all too fast, But We were ready for life at Last!!
