It's Helen, this time, as the barred door clangs open. Helen is visiting the Island, in a formal and all. It seems she was one of the wealthy soclalites arrested in the Hippopot- amus Club raid, a few hours ago. The reunion is complete with the grand entrance of two familiar figures. Madame LaVerne Stahlecker, and Countess Marione Wacker-DuPo1s, 125 Street hat designers. The two ladies are here for 'borrowingu the patented designs of Pierre of Parse. The evening is spent recalling old acquaintances, and talking over the nGood Old Dsysu in BHS. It has been a reunion to be long remembered, and the members of the famous class of '50 enjoy seeing each other once again after 25 years.

We, the Seniors, becuesth to the entire school the calm noise and quiet dignity which has set us apart from all other graduating classes--Amen! The above, upon full realization of the enormous ser1ousness4I the contrast, do agree that those persons who, in any way fail to use their gift to its fullest extent will be scalped by the supreme hand of our sole admlnlstraton Superintendent E. H.Bader. THE CALLOUS-FOOTED SENIORS OF '50 . x f , ' 5 f a 5 . ' X' ' cuss Posn C .f'f We may wander and wander whereve'r we will In lands afar, o'er nlain, mountain and hill, But wherever we go and whatever we do, The friends of four years will so with us, too. They'll be ln our thoughts wherever we roam. We'll remember the teacher called at our home And asked if Johnny was ill and in bed, Our amazement, then horror, as mother turned red. The trio to the office for John the next day, As he faced with his father the principal. Say Was he sorry he went to the movie show? Well! Follow him through and then you'll know. We'll never forget the boys on the team, The laurele they won and how we beamed. Then the day they lost we hurried home. Good sportsmen! Yes! But to be alone. nTwas easier then to see just why The boys were beaten - but they did try. The girls were good at team games, too, The boys were there to cheer us through. The picnics, parties, skates, and hikes, The trips between on bus and bikes. How many wonderful times we've had! These will live and make us glad. Friends of four year: our teachers there The time, the thought, the friendly care You gave will always be a trust To keen. HTvas ever kind and just. Pour years tosether, be it so, And now the osrting ss we go, Let's do our hest,u we've always said And carve our 'lace uo at the head. I7
