THE BLUE AND WHITE History of the Class of 19295 From his cano ied bed with black and white hangings, tlie Spirit of 19295 with a weak voice calls Memory, bidding her en- tertain him for a while. To his command Memory replies that she has some pictures of his youth, and thereupon presents the first one, a picture of excited Freshmen in a room from which come shouts, much rust- ling of paper, and general confusion. The Spirit of 19295 tries frantically to recall the incident. lt is the hotly contested election of President Moulton, Vice-President A. Smead, Secretary Kirkland, Treasurer I. Smith, and Member-at-Large Bedrossian. This picture fades and a picture of an eager group of athletic girls clustered about an august per- sonage armed with a silver cup takes its place. After a few moments' suspense, a cheer raised for the Freshmen dies out, giving place to noise fumished by the orchestra at o ir 1A Social, where we freshmen, thronging the sidelines, leam from the upper-classmen how dancing is done at C. H. b. Memory pauses here, but continues. A group of eager students are gathered in a hall. Meeting please come to order, says reelected'President Moulton. We will now discuss plans for the 2B Social. This picture vanishes, and a clamoring group around a punchbowl comes to view against a back- ground of dancing couples. As this grows faint, lusty shouts greet the unfurling of a unique black banner outlined in white, which is shown to the assembled class. The scene shifts to the gym office where a brilliant silver cup with l929i once more engraved on it occupies the place of honor. This becomes dim, and an evergreen border, a lighted Christmas tree in the center, a floor crowded with dancing alumni and undergraduates take its place. The Junior Prom! From this, Memory hastens to an even more interesting group of ietures. There flashes on the screen a smalfiroom where a reader announces to a scribblinz group, ' ' President-Lanckton, Lanckton, Tai t, Lanckton, Carman, Lanckton, Lanckton- Next, a very inexperienced pseudo saleszirl hopefully holding up dresses to possible customers appears. Nearby, others attempt to sell high shoes or baby clothes. This is followed by a colorful scene with pennants flying, collars wilting, punch disappearing, couples sweltering. Oh, yes, the Military Dance and a warm evening! Now comes a icture of slightly later date. First dance of tlie season. glamorous Jardin Royale, snappy orchestra, Senior's treat, good dance? Why shouldn't it bei' After this there comes into view a lone car manned by spirited Centralites proclaiming to the world in general and Main Street in particular Central's victory to which '295 contributed several illustrious huskies. Then the scene changes to girls crowding at a mirror. boys seated three or four to a chair, a room tense with excitement. Next .lust clas- pictures. With the fading of this appear pretty girls in trailing evening gowns. handsome boys in tuxedos, along with shullling feet. Soothezl at last, the Spirit of 19295 goes to sleep to dream of this Central Prom. PHYLLIS BEAUREGARD Ensm-:Ta SMITH Q.0Wk.'J Presentations of the Class of 1929V2 I.

VERA ARNOLD ROY CHAPIN QJWKD The Wall Paper Volume lil SPRINGFIELD. MASS., APRIL, 1953 Number I3 AVIATRICES ESTABLISH NEW EN- DURANCE RECORD Springfield, Mass., April 1, 1953-Pilots Lillian Price and Isobel Smith descended to- day after spending the past four months in the clouds. The pilots, both graduates of the Tait School of Aviation at Feeding Hills, established a new record for endurance flying of twenty-eight hundred ani ninety-six hours, thirty-three minutes and nine seconds. Thus the record of twenty-five hundred and two hours, seventeen minutes, and sixty two seconds-set two years ago by Army pilots, Glcndon Shaw and Clinton Richards, was smashed. The women were forced to descend when the last of the six engines of this huge Jager- built plane gave out. They were greeted on landing at the Springfield Air-port by a throng of admirers headed by Mayor John T. Quirk who resented them with the keys to the city. 'llhe luncheon and celebration afterward were held at' the Hotel Moore. NEW INDUSTRY OPENED BY ENTER- PRISING YOUNG BUSINESS WOMEN Springfield, Mass., April 1, 1953-Opening to-day is the advertising establishment of Miss Martha Pomerantz, which is the he- ginning of a totally new industry in this city.
