'Tis hard to part when friends are dear - Pour years ago l.,lOO bewildered freshmen were thrown together in a school called Crane. Before these frightened boys came to high school they sat, chin in hand, staring blankly at a wall, wondering what prep school life had in store for them. The future freshies huddled together in whispering groups dis- cussing, from what they had heard from their friends, the terrors that were awaiting them. There were those monsters called algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, and French, just to name a few. How were they to be tackled? The freshies' were in a blue funk. They were scared! ' And then they came to Crane. Sitting in the assembly hall they looked about them. Many, when seated, could not reach the floor with their feet. The boys were told to report to certain teachers and did they have a job finding them? With the kind assistance of the upper classmen the poor freshies were completely and thoroughly befuddled. The kids were shunted into lavatories in search of elevators: they were sold locker space: they bought hall passes, just to name a few tricks to which they were subjected. But once they were settled, they grew a bit more sophisticated. -A few weeks later the fellows who entered school together were given the official title of the class of '38, under the leadership of one Mr. Edward Weber. From that point on, '38 set about making a name for itself. Election of officers in the lA semester was the first of many new innovations started by the classl lncidentally, Al Gallo held the presidency for seven semesters. But getting back to the students. As members of '38 walked through the halls, they were dwarfed by the upper class stalwartsg . lt didn't take long before the vibrating sieve of extra-curric- ular activity dumped the members of '38 into their respective niches, there to spin their cocoons of preparation, precipitating the metamorphosis of a gangling youth into a well turned athletep a properly polished student government man, and any one of a dozen other occupations. I Now that the boys were launched in their activities, their minds turned to the light fantastic so to speak. They wanted a dance: they got it. The first was called the Thanksgiving Erolic and the second, the junior Prom. Both were accounted among Crane's most successful affairs. Over all this activity watched one of the grandest guys in the school, Mr. Edward Weber, the class adviser. Together with the ten helpful 4A section teachers, he managed to exert a parental influence on the somewhat trying class members. As is commonly known, the bodies of young people Qfrow much faster than their brains, consequently it was a blessing to have such good, understanding fellows about. And so marched the class. The metamorphosis was completedg '38 became seniors. From the class sprang club executives, student government officials, the mayor, the star athletes, the publications officials. At last they had reached their zenith. They shone in all the glory that they had hoped for when they were freshmen. lt's the 4A semester. The first few weeks-everyone' is happy, and then, a sensation experienced four yearsago in grammar school takes hold again: the fellows are scared. They should bel They are going out into something infinitely more mysterious, more complicated than high school. They are going out into the world. . lt won't be long now, and then the friendships which took four years to weld may be dissolved. School will call some, industry-others. Some will shine in their undertakingsg others will fail. No one can predict what a graduate will do in years to come. Write your own ticket here, and' look back ten years hence. TO You teachers at school, who have done so much to help the boys: thank you. To the section teachers, and to Mr. Weber, we find it hard to express without emotion the appreciation we, the grads, feel. Some day we hope to reciprocate, ' Q it . -SYDNEY CGI-lEN ty Addison Robert Allen les Barbero- Nick Bardoula 'X' Henry Addison arches have fallen. j guardp C.T.C., S. ci Ct Wala, Arch. clubs. presence of girls.
