the very patient supervision of Mr. Thomas Hazen. We started out with a bang to raise money in order that we might have enough to give the seniors a fine banquet. We soon had every other class in school envying us because we were such an energetic group of students. On November 9, 1940, our class sponsor- ed the radio attractions Pie Plant Pete and Bashful Harmonica Ioe. We netted a nice profit on this and, continuing our march through the junior year, some of us were in the radio play. Elmer Anthony had been elected president of the class and ser- ved admirably in this capacity, and as the absent-minded professor in the class play Professor, How Could You! lane Phillips played opposite Tug tElmerl in this play and it was a hilarious success. We sponsored roller skating parties and by May we were well on with our plans for our first banquet. The Iunior-Senior banquet was held at High- land Golf Club on May 31, 1941 and lo,-- our very efficient president who was to give the welcome speech, was stricken with--- measles! However, he was not alone in this as there were a half-dozen other Iun- iors who got out of quarantine just in time for the banquet. So ended an eventful Iun- ior year. Forty-four Seniors entered Osnaburg Township High School for their last year. on September 8, 1941. Our advisor this year was Miss Mary Chenot. Mr. Hazen had left to join the Marlboro faculty. We elected Walter Betz as president. In the fall we had a hay ride and Weiner roast and in October. the cast was chosen and practice begun on our class play. What A Life, a play formerly produced on Broadway, was presented by the Senior Class on November 29, 1941. Our own El- mer Anthony again stole the show with his portrayal of Henry Aldrich, and Francesca 1-'oster played opposite him as a high school girl. There was a supporting cast of seven- teen. We ordered our class rings earlier in the year so on November 21, they arrived and every senior proudly displayed his Senior Class Ring, '42. All our energies this year have been bent toward making money to go on a trip. There have been joys and sorrows, but in the years to come we will only remember the good times. All of us are looking for- ward to -- college, defense jobs, and many of the boys, to the armed forces of Uncle Sam. More power to them! ln parting, we say only that we hope all the following classes may enjoy all the good things we have and remember .... When the leaves of this album are yellow with age. And the words we write here are dim on this page. Still think of us kindly. and do not forget. Wherever we are, we remember you yet. - - Pauline Werley
