THE BLUE AND WHITE 'Iwi' The History of the Class of 19305 A Symphonic Metamorphosis INTRODUCTION Once upon a time a large brick building was visited by a certain class. A curly-haired, short-breeched. molasses-munching little boy roamed the corridors with his brown satchel, accompanied by a throng of other little boys and girls. Everything was all very sad and tragic because they hadn't very much money and they didn't know how to dance very well. They cried disconsolately and tried again. Chief among them were Everett the Flute, Stewart the Bass viol. Ted the Violoncello. and a little boy bound for Harvard who boasted the name of Oboe of the perfect A year passed amid much happy quarreling. The tots were now getting old. and after a last game of pirates, they sedately ate their last meal together, buried their golden hairs. and went their ways. SCORE A dark cloud lifts - - - The curtain parts. A baton in the hand of destiny Comes down. The first black movement of a gigantic symphony Has started. The first tentative notes ------- A shy pianissimo - - - halting beats - - A voluminous president who marked a half-rest To see navy blue and gold As represented on our banner. The continuation of the unsteady theme - - - An unhappy heavy minuet - - The infrequent clinking of the silver symbols - - A gradual diminuendo - - The crash of dissonant chords - - - Silence. Destiny's arm Continues its waving. Gently play the wood-winds And the tripping notes of the flute. A bass-viol drowns out its delicacy. It remains the central theme Throughout the rest of the symphony, A lead is given by the bass viol. A violoncello plays an undercurrent To five gay dance measures of the violins. Mellow, melodious strains from an oboe Close the movement. The baton again. Swiftly the instruments seek to blend. Dissonant chords make a pedal point. Lugubrious, spluttering complainings recede into the shades. Lightly the tempo unnoticeably quickens. Counterpoint ensues from brilliant masses of color. Group notes make blatant the busy air. For a moment the thrilling. throbbing excitement of the music Is halted by a monotonous lull. jangled clanging. Bizarre antics of the whole orchestra. A sudden mournful quiet. The even dull pounding of the drums. A last blur of trumpets And whirring violins. This madly rollicking. Solemnly. lilting Caprice fades. ESTHER SAGALYN MIRIAM POMERANTZ 'l'25'l'

THE BLUE AND WHITE The Prophecy of the Class of IQBOQ Scene I - A Street FIRST PROPHET. Hello Elizabeth, I haven't seen you since we drew up that lQ3Og proph- ecy twenty years ago. I wonder how close we came to guessing the truth. What do you say if we go over to dear old Central some time in the near future and try out their new television set? We can get a line on everyone in the class in next to no time. SECOND PROPHET. l'd love to. l've got a revised list of the names and addresses of all our old classmates, so we won't have much trouble in locating any of them. This is going to be fun. Shall we make it tomorrow afternoon? F Iizsr PROPHET. Fine. Be sure to bring that list. Scene I I Interior of Central High School SECOND PRDPI-IET. This is some building! They've remodelled it so that I would hardly recognize it. FIRST PROPI-IET. I'll say! Come on into the auditorium. I'm anxious to get started. SECOND PROP!-IET. Let's try Springfield first. You turn the dial and read off the names and locations. FIRST PROPI-IET. Our class is certainly outstanding. There's Ronald Clark, proof reader and grammar expert of the Springfield Shopping News. And there is Norman Pierce, resident of the Springfield Save-a- Penny-Ifsank. He must be on his way to lunch with Mary Nelson. vice-president of the bank. Morris Read seems to be taking his profession very seriously. He's our lead- ing undertaker you know. Look at Theodore Peterson riding around in that purple Rolls Royce. He seems to be quite successful as an automobile dealer. Listen to that nifty band. lt's the Springfield jazz Phoney Orchestra. with Francis Stanton leading it. Fred Stricker there. is the new curator at the museum for preserving and collecting antique bicycles. Now let's see who is in our school system. Our class seems well represented. There is Iva Birmingham home economics teacher. Gregory Carhart teacher of math- ematics. Sidney Cooley teacher of physi- ology, Eddie Silverman science teacher, and Marie Drummond art teacher. Donald Hurd has gone one step fartherg he is a professor of English at Harvard. We'll have to hunt around a bit to Find Rex Thornburgh and Katherine Rice. Rex is a Cooks Tour guide and Katherine is a travelling lecturer. Now let's try Chicago. There's Nicholas Latino. I-Ie's singing the tenor lead in Aida at the Chicago Metropolitan Opera House. tonight. Let's see what lawyer Belmont Cross is doing. Look! He's defending james Blackburn, who has been haled into court for selling blank cartridges to thc gangsters. I think our friends will win their case, for theres Prentice Miller, famous gumshoe detective. Hehas some new evidence on the casey .When james Cassidy gets elected mayor. he'll probably clean up that old city. He's been working with Sam Abrams, who has made quite a name for himself as a counterfeit coin detector. Let's take a look at the Western coast, Hollywood. for instance. There's Sally Stone preparing for a big Charity Ball, to which she has invited most of the movie celebrities. Thatfs Olivia Smith and Ruth Stowell of the Paramount Dancing School. There's Homer Slutskin, too. getting ideas as to what the well dressed man will wear, for a men's furnishings store in New York. This party has been planned by Bertha Farnham. She's social secretary to many of the wealthy people out there. Charlotte Finklehoffe assists with the decorations. Muriel Broughton is out there too. She's the proprietress of Ye Olde Brokyne Glasse Tea Roome and Gift Shoppe. Did you know that when Einstein visited Los Angeles in IQ3I. Margaret Ferre became fired with enthusiasm to support his theory. She's been doing it ever since. They say, too, that Eleanor Fonda has become so great a scientist that her name has been added to the small list of those who understand Einstein's theory of relativity. This looks like an airport. and there's Donald Young. dare-devil pilot. squeezing himself into the cockpit of a plane. He certainly ought to be well fitted for the 'ob. if his experience driving a car ever did him any good. Let's come back East. Kathleen Nolan is now president of the Sargent School of Physical Education. The school has had to turn away hundreds ever since she took charge. Helen Breed is her basketball coach. That mission house in Boston is run by Myfanwy Parry to help misunderstood college boys. Medora Searles has been active in the Society for the Abolishment of the School Year Book with more or less success. There's Elizabeth Seybolt. kindergarten teacher. going into that dentist's office. and if it isn't Christine Steinbeck who is the torturer. with Cordelia Brown for her sec- retary. Isn't that Douglas Pannier's smiling face on that billboard? He's making big money with that schoolboy complexion of his. Everett Thatcher. secretary of the Palm Olive Company, discovered him. The attraction in the middle of that crowd is Edward Lohan, who is the Ziegfeld of today. Poor Harold Lepovetsky is having a hard time just at present. He was so successful 'P274'
