With the experience of our previous years of giving dances and our junior Play, we forged ahead with confidence to our Senior activities. We welcomed in the football season, and honored our players with the Kickoff Dance. Red and Black were the colors used for the decorations, with pennants and footballs at each end of the Gym. Then came October 31, ghosts and gob- lins were again on the loose as we spon- sored our Halloween Dance. Customary at Halloween, each class put on their own originial skit. Heading the show were the Seniors who topped off the evening by re-creating The Monster-Franken stein. The profit derived from the dance went toward our Washington trip. The next activity on our schedule was our Spring Frolic which was enjoyed by the students as well as the alumni. The theme of Spring was carried out in the decoration of the Auditorium. Then of course, came our Senior Play Polishing Papa which had a large attendance. Our yearbook was published under the supervision of Editor, Reed Stock: Asso- ciate Editor, Ioan Beatty, and Loretta An- drews, Business Manager. Many of our Seniors helped publish the school paper Tiger Tribune with Reed Stock as Ed- itor, and joseph Giovia, Sports Editor, Fred Kalmbach, Edwin Dobson, Waldron Smith, William Rauscher, Arnold Kurth, Ioan Beatty, Suedean Shaw, Mary Ger- rity and Loretta Andrews as staff report- ers. Once again the Seniors were repre- sented on the football field by William O'Neil as captain and Lewis Augustine, Rodney Kruse, Edwin Dobson, Leo Rosse, Torvald Reinertsen, George Hendricks, and Robert Nichols backing him up. Cheering our team was Edna Robinson who was elected captain and representa- tive to the Student Council with William O'Neil as Presidentg Edna Robinson, Vice President, and Loretta Andrews, Secretary- Treasurer. One of the Councils big pro- jects of the year was the Service Club. The highlights of the year were coming up. With excitement in our hearts we boarded the bus for Washington, D. C., where we spent three wonderful days. We toured several museums, the Mint, and the city itself. On the way home we stopped at Annapolis. Time marched on and finally Class Night. We had a wonderful time and we enjoyed the program and the gifts pre- sented. Then our big moment-Graduation. The wonderful year had ended. With the guidance of Miss Rose DeLorenzo and Mr. jack Shearer, who we consider the best class advisers a class could have, and by our class officers President, William O'Neil: Vice President, Edna Robinson, and Secretary-Treasurer, Geraldine Leon- ard, we finished our four years of High School. We thought we would jump with joy at that moment but as we were seated on the stage our hearts were heavy with sadness. We realized that the happiest years of our life were over. Although as we all looked back at our four long years of High School, we feel warm inside to know that we achieved our aims. We wish all the classes that will someday be in our places, the best of luck in the future . To our teachers and those responsible for our success in High School we express a grateful Thanks , without them we could not have achieved our goal. May our accomplishments and training guide us in the future years.

Polishing Papa The evening of April 21 was an im- portant and long anticipated event for the Seniors, who, after weeks of hard work and preparation, presented their play Pol- ishing Papa. Papa Smith, a rich sausage manufac- turer KReed Stockl was a disgrace in the eyes of his children who had just returned from college, because of his old fashioned ideas, and terrible grammar and manners. Arthur Smith CRichard Bennettl is in love with Rose Parker CGladys Claytonl, the daughter of a rich perfume manufacturer, and is determined to enter the investment business against his father's strong pro- tests. Iane Smith lEleanor Vidal is in love with an Englishman, Lord Dabney CBill Rauscherl and is anxious to get Papa cul- tured in order to make a good impression. The children are simply horrified at the presence of the highrpowered sausage ad- vertising salesman Karman iSebastian Russo? who strews signs all over the living room when Lord Dabney and Rose Parker are due for a visit. Dick Brainerd a smart attorney CArnold Kurthl has Arthur's in- terests at heart and does his best to get him into the inbestrnent business. Arthur wins a bet with his father by getting him to enjoy golyf, and runs the business while Smith travels and plays the game all over the country. Mrs. Stevens, the housekeep- er Cloan Beattyl handles all crises calmly and cleverly. She manages to keep the maid Marie who has a mind of her own CLoretta Andrewsl from leaving after a bat- tle of tempers with Mr. Smith. Then there is the Neighbor girl PeqQY lMary Gerrityl who lisps and always pops in at just the wrong time. Lord Dabney proves to be an imposter, and lane finds her true love in Dick Brainerd and all ends happily. The play was under the able and excel- lent direction of Miss Margaret B. McCrea, who has had much experience in dramatic work and who gave to those who took part such a valuable experience and train- ing as will never be forgotten. Much ap- preciation is expended to Eleanor Kohler and Sue Shaw, promptersg to Mr. D. A. Lally and the Manual Arts Dept. for stage layout and scenery: and to all others who were contributing factors to the great suc- cess of this play. The following week, April 27, the play was presented in Fort Monmouth, through the Iunior Red Cross, for the benefit of hospitalized soldiers. SENIOR PLAY CAST-Left to right: Gladys Clayton, Richard Bennett, Eleanor Kohler, William Rauscher, Mary Gerrity, Reed Stock, Sebastian Russo, loan Beatty, Loretta Andrews, Arnold Kurth, and Eleanor Vida.
